Enrolled in a class on Chinese politics and the first lecture was so unbelievably chock-full of lib talking points. Some that I can recall:
- calling China a “closed autocracy” and “authoritarian”
- mentioned that when surveyed, Chinese people rate the level of democracy in their country higher than Americans do for theirs, but with the caveat that they could be under “censorship”
- showed the “democracy map” that’s just this
and of course China is lowly rated on the democracy scale - showed this chart that was literally like “Stalin and Mao killed more people than Hitler!!!”

There was also language about how the Core Socialist Values get “hammered” into people’s heads in China, which definitely doesn’t happen in the free West 
Might be a long semester if I stay in this course 
Edit: class has been dropped 


All I need to hear that know that your professor is politically illiterate
The professor could be under CIA death threats to say this. After all, there’s just as much evidence to support my caveat and I don’t like the CIA, so we just have to assume that I’m right.
I frequently travel to China, I have friends there and I speak mandarin. By this metric alone I know more about China than this soft genocide-denying nazi apologist professor ever will.
Now hold on there, this professor could have traveled to China and speak mandarin. He could be a failed sexpat mad at the QOL improvements in China because it means Chinese women are less desperate and he couldn’t find a target to abuse as a result.
Yeah it’s impressive he finds time to “teach” in between eating out with his sexpat buddies to discuss how China “should” be governed in the most patronizing tone possible. So many of these guys marry a Chinese person, move back to the US, and then spend the rest of their lives demanding constant praise for having personally ended racism while ignoring the racist bullying their children face at school because their children are worth more to them as a vanity project than as human beings.
At my airline I stack my schedule a lot with the China routes so I get to see these guys in action all the time. Most memorable moment was when one of them went up to the gate agent in Beijing, unprompted from what I could tell, to lecture them about how it’s possible for whites and asians to have kids and complain about the “narrow-mindedness of the Chinese”. Did basically the same thing to a flight attendant after boarding. I got to be the one to tell him he could either shut the fuck up or find another way home.
