I don't know what's going on in China. With the titanic amount of bullshit and propaganda that surrounds the country, I don't know if I have time to figure out what's going on in China. But one thing I find interesting when talking to folks IRL about China is, the people who are the most "concerned" about conditions and police brutality there, are the first ones to cheer on police brutality and hand-wave shitty conditions here.

Conservatives wanna be proud of their own country and tacitly push the idea that other countries are worse in some sense ๐คท
It's unfortunate but it happens. It takes a lot proximity and trust to change one's perspective on life, so it is probably not going to happen in public online spaces
And self awareness and good old fashioned honesty are hard to come by these days I guess. Not much we can do (in a fast, easy fashion) when folks prefer easy comfortable lies over cold hard reality.
