I moved from China to US, and I had the exactly same feeling: Chinese media portrait a much consistent image of US leaders, unanimously focus on their words and deeds that are concerned to China. They left the entire other aspects blank, leave me an impression that they probably did reasonable work in other areas.
After moving, I see so many more facts from US media's portrait of US leaders. Actually, they did many many more questionable things other than those concerned China (questionable or not). I was deeply troubled by the fact that the intention to move to a free country to attain the transformation from a dictatorship regime to a free one, is more like a transformation from a worse one to a less worse one.
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoThere are no perfect countries, just less dysfunctional. If you move from DPRK to China, you'll be impressed with the freedom and open information you have. I think most of our beefs with China is that it was moving in a nice direction before 2008...it was becoming more open, more transparent, a nicer place to live and a nicer country to do business with. Then...after 2008...they seem to have thrown it all in the pooper. It really was heartbreaking.
