Everyone looking for justifications for anti-Chinese sentiment these days

  it's not the full story. the full story is more like this: media operates on the hypothesis that this kind of material is on demand, it produces accordingly, generates buzz and hypothesis verified! what's next? product more! I think market oriented media is really nothing about truth/fact/moral, its only job is to reflect what people want. here is the full list of what people want: - when we do well, tell me it's all my own hard work. - when we are in bad shape, it's someone else's fault.

  That's my impression as well. After visiting China and reading a lot about their society I have to say, I wish our governments cared even 50% about their citizens' security as China does. And don't even start me on infrastructure and digitalisation.

    What's lacking in a lot of people's views about China is objectivity. China is not just an "failing authoritarian shithole" or a tech-utopia filled with megaprojects. It's a bit of both, plus a plethora of descriptors in between. No nation, society, or people can be fully described in a few words or even a few sentences. Too many people in this world have one-sided views on too many things/concepts.

  The way the Chinese government treats parts of their own population and the way the bully and steal technology from other countries already offers plenty of justification for the last few decades, not just today.
