Some Chinese can see it. Just like some Westerners see the western one.

And many of them fall for the greener grass on the other side. It isn't.




It's far, far from perfect, but the grass is definitely greener on this side. You'd have to be practically blind not to see that.


And you would know because our guys are telling you so? They would never lie?

Demonization of the opponent is a thing as old as warfare.

While there are things that are wrong in China, there were waves of anti-China hysteria in the west. To find out cui bono I will leave for you.


No, I actually think "our guys" (for as far there is one voice about this) have been far too naive about China.

I have lived long enough in China and know enough Chinese people in and outside of China to have a fairly good idea about Chinese censorship and propaganda. It's nothing compared to what we have here.
