straight out of their anal cavity. if you think fake news is bad over here wait until you see how it is when you're actually in china. people believe this to be true because they absolutely do not know better. they can't know better (unless they go out of their way to find the truth, which alerts the thought police usually). its a nightmarish place to live and I would honestly rather die fighting than live in a country like that.

Oh yeah, I believe you. However, not sure if it's genuine ignorance due to lack of info or willful ignorance on their part. Here's a good example. ..

Back in the early 2000s , I had a chance to talk to this Chinese student back in the college. I asked him how he's liking the west and being away from a communist country and he just blew his gasket.

Huffing and puffing how China is not a communist country and how I am lying and distorting the fact that it's democratic country... while he was praising his "Dear Leader" the whole time (I shit you not!)

After his tirade of bs was just about over, I asked him point blank "Then why is your political party referred as the Communist Party of China?" and then he got more agitated and called me all sorts of names, flipped the table and took off. That was like one of the most bizarre experience I have ever had with anyone... till 2016 when I had a similar experience with a liberal coworker after Trump won.

Commies are gonna commie I guess. They will never admit they are commies till they've won.
