I think you’ll find if you keep peeling back more US propaganda layers China is much more representative of the collective than you might think. A lot of what we are taught about China and the USSR is just a direct lie.
For example, the tianamen square massacre narrative we are told is almost entirely a lie. They did not just open fire on crowds of civilians. For one, I recommend trying to find a source for the full tank man video (it’s kind of a pain since US media always cuts it off). I was told in school when we watched it that the guy was ran over by the tank. He actually just walks up and climbs on the tank, opens the hatch, and has a conversation with the soldier. This is after the soldier yells at him for a few minutes begging him to move. Then the guy climbs down and walks away. It’s tempting to say this was AI, but I first saw the video before AI video really existed.
The also leave out all the fucked up shit the protesters did. Like taking PLA soldiers and mutilating them before setting them on fire.
Can you imagine what the US would do to you if you tried to stop a tank? You’d likely be taken to a black site and have your skin peeled off.
Important to note that their democratic structures could use some work, at very least for social policies. I think the top down centralism does work well for economics and defense where the average person cannot be expected to understand the intricacies.
Noones claiming there was no violence on that day. Western media embellished greatly what actually happened, and many people today still believe that. For example most people think the tank man was run over, and most people think thousands were shot, pulped and burned.
Its an interesting topic to bring up because its not being actively propagandized by reputable sources anymore, and multiple journalists have come out and said they knew what was published was false.
Theres also a good bit of info about it you can find from wikileaks.
This is true. Tank man wasn’t run over. But nobody knows what happened to him after. Also, it’s estimated that hundreds to thousands people died, but that’s unconfirmed because China has never released this statistic because doing so would mean that Tiananmen Square happened in the first place.

And yet we’ll never know cause China is an authoritarian regime that hides and justifies the horrors it commits. So what now?
I wonder why they would attempt to hide foreign propaganda. I WONDER.
