If I’m a hardline Westerner and I feel like participating in a pro-Chinese Western Community, what are my options? HN isn’t the place for this. Basically, I’d like to praise China for the last handful of bold moves they’ve made, but the usual channels (FB, Twitter, Reddit, HN, …) are vehemently anti-China. I’d probably get shadowbanned or banned saying the three child policy is the way to go forward. Any suggestions?

Bill Maher praises China for being a 'serious country' and contrasts it to the non-serious US. That is pretty mainstream. There seem to be many people, both left and right, who see China's actions on clamping down unfettered capitalism and decadence as a good thing. In my view it's a mixed bag. I think the real driving force is in preparation of a US/China conflict which is starting to feel inevitable.

> a pro-Chinese Western Community If you mean pro-CCP, they have been at war with the rest of the world since the end of WW2. So understand what you're talking about. The reason they've built hypersonic missiles and nuclear ballistic submarines is to point them at the US. BRI is to gain ports for their navy. > the last handful of bold moves Virtually everything you've heard from the CCP is self-serving propaganda with no verifiable numbers. They're facing an enormous demographic problem which the 3-child policy won't fix, and their stalled economy is revealing the mismanagement that decades of rapid growth hid - 70% of personal savings go into real estate investments, which are semi-Ponzi schemes. Half of China's food and energy are imported, and the CCP relies on US capital markets. These 3 make China incredibly vulnerable, contrary to the image projected by the CCP.
