      Imagine allowing citizens to be so free that they can go to your biggest rival’s social media to read narratives favouring them, get influenced by rival propaganda, and then shit you on your percieved weak points.

          Patritoism?
          I suppose it is easy to be patriotic to a state which hides even publicly known events from its plebs.

          Try to get opinion of the Chinese on RedNote about Uyguirs and Teinman Square. I’ll wait.

            What’s a “secret” are not those events, but the garbage that propagandized Westerners believe about those events.

            So you’re right, the “genocide” is a “secret,” and the “massacre” is a “secret.”

            Tiananmen square is one of the most popular places in China, it’d be like saying Times square in new york city. You’re referring to what they call the june 4th incident, and you can absolutely talk about it on chinese social media.

      I think there’s a simple desire to move to pastures new. “Use Instagrmam or Youtube Shorts or Snapchat” No, we’ve been there and done that.
