I swear unanimous appreciation of china was a pretty common sentiment and now I'm consistently seeing upbeared comments about how china isn't and never was a socialist state, and how actually their use of markets is as bad if not worse than america. What's going on? IDK what to think or what side I'm on here but it just seems like opinions fundamentally changed so quickly, it's weird.
Not sure if you're being ironic or not but this thought has crossed my mind too. The sudden sea-shift in opinion seems just a little too timely and coordinated.
Not suggesting that everyone being negative is in on it, but personally I'm suspicious.
