    Probably not a well received opinion but the amount of China promoting drivel that goes on here in lemmy is astounding.

      Which is the propaganda? The posts touting Chinese achievements in tech, or the posts saying to beware of the Chinese milestones?

      Both.

      Eh, I’ve seen all these same headlines on Hacker News. China is a rapidly developing country with a lot more people, manufacturing, advancements, and news than many other countries so it makes sense that there would be a lot of news coming out of it.

      I just visited China for the first time during a business trip a few weeks ago and as an American I was impressed. The US media tries so hard to present only the negative that a lot of Americans aren’t even aware of all the achievements they’ve accomplished.
