China’s firewall plays a crucial role in shaping the country’s digital landscape, preventing foreign intervention, and maintaining national security. While often criticized in the West, the firewall provides China with the ability to control information flow, shield its population from foreign influence, and protect domestic media.

And yet in your previous comment you confidently regurgitated lies you failed to vet yourself. Do you not see the ridiculous level of hypocrisy you are displaying here? You demanded some vague notion of thorough vetting from the people you are talking to and when provided with a wealth of sources that support the video, your next response is “I ain’t reading all that”. Also, whether you admit it to yourself or not there is deep deep seated white supremacy you have internalized and it is very obvious for all to see, so maybe reflect on that too.

Yes, you clearly do not hold yourself to the same standard as you demand from others, because you outright listed multiple things as fact that were immediately debunked. You ask others to rigorously vet this video (which we showed the sources for) and yet you refuse to actually vet any information yourself. Everything you have said in this entire thread has been false, the only conclusion I can draw is that you thought you could come in here and stir shit up, but you are getting frustrated at people tearing your assertions to shreds.

What vetting? You didn’t watch the video. You couldn’t be bothered to look at the outlets, not even the individual articles, within the bibliography.
You had a knee-jerk reaction that China is bad, and when you receive pushback for your racist assertion, you continue to triple and quadruple down.
As a great man once said: “no investigation, no right to speak” - if you had any kind of meaningful critique of this piece outside of “I hate China” there are dozens of people that would be happy to have genuine discourse. But when your entire thesis is that you hate asians, you can’t be surprised the people don’t treat you like a worldly intellectual.
Our only intention is to teach. If that causes you to change your mind great! That is a healthy way to deal with new information, but you did not come in good faith so please spare me the self pity. You chose not to engage with any of the people that actually gave you thoughtful and exhaustively sourced information relative to your original unfounded complaint based on nothing but reactionary emotional response to it being about China and being positive, and to cap it all off YOU DIDN’T EVEN WATCH THE VIDEO.
In short, sit down stop talking about subjects you are ignorant on or be prepared to have a lot of people telling you you’re wrong, and luckily for you more than a few that have the patience to educate you, start listening to them and reading the material we voluntarily work to provide you and maybe you will learn something, but only if you allow yourself to. If not you’re going to have a very bad time with this community and most of the people that did the work to build it and the software that keeps it all going.
Your fear of “persuasion” comes from western exceptionalism and willful ignorance, you think you have everything figured out and anything that contradicts all that you think you know is scary, we’ve all been there, but closing your eyes, plugging your ears and rejecting the reality and material conditions of the world we live in helps nobody and frankly is just really really fuckin irritating.
So stick around if you want to learn something, if you want to read/follow you should start by reading the “copypasta” and sources you were so dismissive of and apologizing to the users that went through all the work to compile those wonderful posts specifically for the consumption of uninformed/misinformed liberals like yourself. Aside from just reading the comments under various news posts ask questions, prepare to challenge yourself and be open to accepting that you have been mislead on a vast number of topics by the western capitalist education system.
I would also highly highly recommend reading Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti and Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paolo Freire

Well you seem to think some youtuber should, so what makes you special?
Then I suggest developing real media literacy.
How about you try suspecting western media for once instead of taking US propaganda at face value and loudly parroting it online and getting butthurt when people correct you

What a magnanimous statement, one could almost forget it’s being shouted over your shoulder as you run away.
I genuinely wouldn’t come back after this burn holy shit
Post one (1) thing then. Literally a single thing. You’ve said some version of “of course I have sources for my beliefs” in quite a few comments, but every time anyone asks you to post just one, a single source, you refuse, saying something like “you wouldn’t believe me anyway”. Do you see how that’s not convincing? Do you understand how that makes us think you actually haven’t really thought through your beliefs and have actually just inherited them from the propaganda environment you exist in?
No, you don’t. No, there isn’t.
International media eagerly corroborated US allegations of Iraq having WMDs too, that was also a lie. Media you like saying a thing isn’t evidence that the thing is real.
If you had actual evidence you could persuade other people who see this post even if you didn’t convince me, you’re not trying because you have none and you know it.
I absolutely do hate you, you’re an arrogant ignorant chauvinistic dipshit, but I take significant comfort in knowing that the impending american century of humiliation will humble you.
