    There’s a stark difference between Chinese propaganda and information about positive things in China.

    You can post about good aspects of the Chinese society without mentioning the government, let alone glorifying it. Same goes for the USA. If I post that I like American national parks, does that constitute American propaganda? Are we only allowed to hate on those two countries?

    Just because the Chinese model is incompatible with the European or American ones, doesn’t mean there’s nothing we can learn from it.

      Actually, yes. Fuck Yellowstone and fuck Yogi the Bear. I’m gonna go ahead and hate everything in the US and everything in China. EU rules, other places drool! Downvote me if and you dare! I’ve got a baguette and I’m not afraid to use it!

        I made a baguette in the usa just a few days ago, the secret to a perfect midwest baguette is corn syrup for the outside texture, brominated vegetable oil to better combine with the flour and water, and habaneros for taste.

          Nope. Trump says it’s the Gulf of America so…

          Yogi is now Yogi THE Bear

          Tit for tat

          Also, Lays’ chips are now Walkers crisps

          We’re taking this thing over!

      This is propaganda though. At least the other post of OP today gets all the facts wrong. That is clearly not meant to start a good discussion on the topic.
