#that the chinese government (and tbh every government) also has its own interests and disinforms its citizens

hmmm on the topic of RedNote, I feel like people are forgetting that the US isn't the only country with an authoritarian government. Like, I'm sure a lot of things about living in China are better than the US, however I saw a screenshot where a Chinese RedNote user was claiming child labour doesn't happen, and an American user just being like "ok cool thanks for the info!". China also has an authoritarian and oppressive government - haven't you heard about the Uyghur genocide, Hong Kong, Taiwan, to name just a few instances? It's easy to look these things up online. Seems Americans are eager to overcompensate for their authoritarian capitalist government propaganda by falling hookline and sinker for authoritarian communist gov. propaganda. China also controls its media, not just the USA.

(This isn't anti-communist of me - I am a communist, just not authoritarian. Half my family was born in the USSR so I'm simply aware of the dangers of authoritarianism. In fact this post isn't even that relevant to communism/capitalism, more just that y'all need to be more aware of all types of propaganda.)
