Sheltered Reddit liberals finding out in real time that they're not in a pro-west echo chamber is fucking hilarious. (hexbear.net)

Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.

They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

Thanks for telling me what 80% [citations needed] of all Chinese people (not counting the vast majority of them because they live in China) think. I'm sure they also appreciate being spoken for. Maybe people who like living in China don't see a reason to leave? Seems like a pretty obvious explanation, even if I ignore the statistic being direct from your ass.

Your "real life experience" is a pretty funny idea too, seeing as how you apparently think that all 1.4 billion Chinese people are so effectively controlled that even though they all hate living there they will never let their friends and family know. Seems like a fantasy to me. I could say that about the US "all Americans hate the us and want to leave but they aren't allowed to say so, so they pretend to like it" it would be patently stupid and there would be no evidence of it, so it'd be on par with your claims.

As far as a utopia, no one said that but you, it's just a strawman argument. It is impossible to make an argument that material conditions for people in China are not improving at one of the most rapid rates in the world.
