    I mean, all government sponsored sources are going to be biased. No media should be trusted wholesale

    A stopped clock is right twice a day. America has a terrible and corrupt government, but that doesn’t mean they’re wrong about not trusting china’s government.

          “Gonna need to see a source from a white country before I’ll believe anything positive about China, the DPRK, Venezuela, Cuba. If it ain’t white, it ain’t right.”

    Who told you not to trust anything China says?

    My inherent distrust of authorities?

      Do you also distrust climate scientists? Doctors? I think you should hold healthy skepticism for claims, but to outright distrust anything China says just because they have a state is overkill.

    Both countries have their issues, but certainly Xi Jinping is more trustworthy than Donald Trump.

    He said he doesn’t trust both the US and China, he never says someone told him anything. I’m thinking false dilemma?

        But don’t you define lackeys as being people who also say china isn’t trustworthy? Ie it’s a circular logic you seem to got there, based on past ml experiences.

          It would only be circular if their agreement on China was the sole indication of their subservience to US interests, that is not the case

    Could it perhaps be, I don’t know, the entire rest of the world calling out China’s own genocides?

    And no, the US has no leg to stand on when it comes to stamping out ethnic groups, especially Muslims. So?

    Let’s start with: governments are untrustworthy being made of people

    So who told you china is trustworthy?

      So who told you china is trustworthy?

      The Chinese people. Non-anecdotal evidence, from an anglo source:

      • In contrast to low US political approval ratings, 96% of Chinese are satisfied with the national government (Edelmans 2016). World Values Surveys says that 83% think the country is run for their benefit rather than for the benefit of special groups. A Harvard research center study of long-term public opinion survey finds that > 95% of Chinese citizens approved their government. How is this possible in a one-party state? (TED talk by Eric X Li)
      • The real wage (IE the wage adjusted for the prices you pay) has gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country. This is staggering considering it’s the most populous country on the planet. The US real wage by comparison is lower in 2019 than it was in 1973.
