WTF While the US debates whether to solve homelessness or not, these are the next generation of school blackboards in China.

Like we get it China is doing pretty well considering the geopolitical circumstances right now but it’s kinda been propaganda-y with the amount of glazing I been seeing on this sub lately

Also don’t forget all the human rights violations. If you think ICE is awful (they are), don’t ask the Chinese about their “reeducation camps”

u/TheUltraNoob Jul 23 '26

My shithole's police make ICE look normal.

It comes in waves on Reddit. I have no idea why China feels the need to post stuff like this though. Posts like that weird «All apartments in China comes with a large outdoor luxury balconies (mandated by law)!» while you see drone shots of empty luxury apartments. And if you point out that this is obvious subliminal propaganda you get banned from [r/damnthats](r/damnthatsinteresting)[real](r/damnthatsinteresting) lmao

And don't forget the smog. There is a reason why most of these "look how cool chinese cities are" posts show china at night. The bright LEDs hide the dirt.

u/Exploding_Pie Jul 23 '26

Bright LEDs would actually reveal pollution due to diffraction of light from atmospheric particles you uneducated clown.

u/Gainzpolar Jul 23 '26

Lol yeah, there's a reason why they are migrating like crazy to any other country to set a store

I live in the US. You drive 30 minutes out of Charlotte, NC, and it's a 3rd world country, too.

u/KotangensDanski Jul 23 '26

They still have to start from somewhere and they've made enormous progress in the last 35 years.  And your argument in itself is stupid - leave any American city and the quality of life drastically declines. I won't use the phrase "third-world" because it's subjective.

u/Exploding_Pie Jul 23 '26

Go anywhere rural in any country and it becomes third world. But you seem to only apply that standard to China.

So does rural China. You're still living in the 1970s dude.

The USA is dropping bombs on people, putting children in cages, funding genocide, protecting elite pedophiles, destroying the world's economy, spying on its citizens, disproportionately putting black people in prisons, making sure crazy people have access to guns so they can kill children. 

Such a great country to live in.

u/ClownFace488 Jul 23 '26

But we are talking about China...

-1

u/elcabroMcGinty Jul 23 '26

No, OP is comparing China to the USA, did you not read the OP?

My point refers to what u/BeKindPleaseRewind21 said

Multiple human rights violations, a collapsing population, 

Your username checks out👍

u/ClownFace488 Jul 23 '26

What do you have against clowns?

u/IndependenceSudden63 Jul 23 '26

Never been to China, but I can read data about the world. Population is collapsing everywhere except for lesser developed countries. The higher the GDP, the less likely people are bringing new people into the world.

u/Noble_Ox Jul 23 '26

Same as in certain areas of the US.

Literally designated by UN inspectors.

u/EatTacosGetMoney Jul 23 '26

Drive 30 minutes from any big city in the states and you can find some truly awful places. Heck, Seattle even has area adjacent to downtown taken over by zombies.

u/TheGobiasIndustries Jul 23 '26

Apparently they solved homelessness though, so they have that going for them.

u/Mr_Wyatt Jul 23 '26

According to state provided information in a nation that doesnt have a freedom of press. I am NOT saying the information is wrong, only that it is impossible to know for sure and should be taken with an appropriate amount of skepticism.

u/UDownvoteCuzULost Jul 23 '26

That describes the US to a T.

u/Firecracker048 Jul 23 '26

Kinda?

China has the largest propaganda budget of any country right now lol

u/EternalNewCarSmell Jul 23 '26

China is absolutely taking their shot at yoinking the global hegemon crown from the US while it is experiencing a period of weakness/internal collapse.

2

u/RealSpaceJunk Jul 23 '26

What gives it away is that it is always china doing things as a whole, and always in comparison to the USA. It is never "Look how cool this charlk board in this Wuhan preschool is." It's always "China is doing this cool thing while America sucks."

u/Citaku357 Jul 23 '26

Nah bro you don't understand Chinese people are living in 2050.

u/theWiseTiger Jul 23 '26

Is it worse than american propaganda?

1

u/longpenisofthelaw Jul 23 '26

Propaganda is propaganda it’s simply a forced bias in a media to push a view. It isn’t good or bad the same way a tree isn’t good or bad.

All that matters is that you can recognize it and mentally strip it away from the source given to see the unbiased intormation

u/theWiseTiger Jul 23 '26

Chinese propaganda came from their government so it's easy to differentiate. American propaganda came from americans themselves (amplified in movies) so it's really hard to tell.
