Many poor brainwashed Chinese guy here still don’t get it.
The key is in the country other than China and North Korea, we have CHOICE to read several news outlets that includes right wing, left wing, middle, fact-based journalism, sensational ones, Tabloids. Some politician may lie, but people double check facts.
What’s more, we can criticize FREELY. we don’t get punished or ki//ed by verbally attacking Presidents.
Just reflect on absurdity in your country. The prime minister BANNED Winnie the Pooh and the animal farm, Nintendo game. Doctors and Scientists even can’t discuss truth on the internet. Ordinary citizen like your non-phd friend or your dad mom grand parents probably easily believe what CCP want them to think about the world and the US.
Period.
