    My entire life i’ve only ever been told about China as though they are some genocidal Nazis, and everything in the west you ever hear about China is how they’re evil and shit

    I mean I've lived in America my whole life and I never got that, so that's incorrect

    you can find plenty of negative things about China everywhere, how is it weird to actually want to learn and engaged with other things?

    Wanting to learn is fine, acting like China is this magical equestrian where the blessed and holy people dance under the light of heaven itself . I see a lot of that second thing all the time round these here parts

      Maybe it's an age thing. There is a little period where the sinophobia cooled down. I grew up hearing China forces everyone to abort their second child. It was common knowledge. I also heard all about the terrible suppression of falun gong. However, I disliked our own right-wing religious fundamentalists so much I couldn't help but wonder if China was on the right track.
