Try posting a picture of Winnie the Pooh on one of their social networks then get back to me.
I had a Chinese coworker who confided he'd like to make $$$ in the US then maybe go back to be a professor after his post doc ended.
Next time I saw him all he would say is "China has changed". Apparently it's a dog whistle for all the things people used to say openly, at least when over here.
- nine_zeros 1y agoWinnie the Pooh isn't tweeting racist AI memes of colored people - aka - they are authoritarian but not tyrants stoking hate among their own populace. I am not saying China is better. I am saying that they are not regressing as a society. America is actively regressing back to pre civil rights racist, anti-education, anti-health era.

- nine_zeros 1y agoAnd Trump is putting people in concentration camps AND riling p[eople up with hateful rhetoric. By almost all measures, Trump is worse than Xi. The only reason Trump's rhetoric is pared down is because of the American system - which republicans hate and are trying to skirt with executive orders.
