    Probably not a well received opinion but the amount of China promoting drivel that goes on here in lemmy is astounding.

      Which is the propaganda? The posts touting Chinese achievements in tech, or the posts saying to beware of the Chinese milestones?

      Both.

      Eh, I’ve seen all these same headlines on Hacker News. China is a rapidly developing country with a lot more people, manufacturing, advancements, and news than many other countries so it makes sense that there would be a lot of news coming out of it.

      I just visited China for the first time during a business trip a few weeks ago and as an American I was impressed. The US media tries so hard to present only the negative that a lot of Americans aren’t even aware of all the achievements they’ve accomplished.

      possibly because of the mindrot you’ve been force fed to believe China doesn’t have any innovative capability. If you get news from west and reddit/twitter/facebook you’d think China is a country under a rock just making shitty toys. CCP is shitty, authoritarian and downright evil, but they’ve got over billion people, it’s telling that it hurts your ego, they do something positive not to your liking.

      Like seriously, are you now complaining about EVs being built by the biggest manufacturing nation or is that just your prejudice showing?

      I’m not even from China and I want the competition to get fierce so I can afford a durable EV, so I can finally ditch my ICE car. But you do you.

      Stay mad though. Progress is made when it makes conservatives and xenophobic people like you uncomfortable.
