    On the contrary, I've seen a surprising amount of reddit comments calling out U.S. propaganda on China.

    Don't get me wrong, there's still far too much sinophobia and orientalism on there, but at least on the Xinjiang issue it seems to be trending in the right direction.

      That's a good sign I guess. Yellow Peril has spread so far I've been seeing apolitical friends and family posting "debt trap awareness" on their stories. You heard that right :agony-deep:

      Redditors love contrarianism, which occasionally creates good takes when the mainstream narrative is such horseshit.
