I like the part where everyone in this thread is cool with it, as though it’s okay that China is systematically interweaving itself into American society and we’re good with rolling over and accepting it. That’s not a lukewarm effort to be a xenophobe, it’s a legitimate concern about cultural/community pride. Simple acceptance of another country “doing it better” shouldn’t be where it ends. Follow not just the money but the data stream and then you begin to understand the political and social ramifications of changing minds and hearts that ‘China isn’t bad, it’s the U.S. that’s not good’ and their attempt at the reframing of reality.

Op is a pro China shill. Look through his account. There are many of these shills on reddit... not just shills for CCP but other interests as well. This is not a democracy, the upvotes are commodity.

Unfortunately, all that’s served by these types of posts is reaffirming that social media can be manipulated. My legitimate concern is that people of good conscience but poor critical thinking skills will unwittingly allow themselves to be influenced in their otherwise firm positions.
