    I mean I’ve seen a few recordings of Chinese officials calling folks abroad and making „suggestions“. That was more than just reading headlines.

    But I guess you are right. It’s likely all propaganda and China is a paradise.

          Your position doesn’t make sense. We know that testimony on atrocity propaganda is sometimes a complete fabrication:

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony

          So that is one of the things worth considering, but that hypothesis isn’t a get-out-of-jail-free card and needs to be weighed against other factors like the variety of sources and people involved, their history and material interests, etc.

          Yes, I am saying things need to be scrutinized instead of just taken at face value if they comport with our prejudices, I apologize if that takes the wind out of your sails, but blind faith won’t lead you to good conclusions.
