    Thank goodness reddit is not real life and most of these “people” are off-duty hogs from Eglin AFB or bots. Imagine unironically glazing Singapore and then asking a shit rhetorical question on mainland China being “free”

    Don’t look up how maids in Singapore are treated. Definitely no abuses of freedom there

    […] the Taiwanese turned a small, mountainous, resource-poor island into the most geopolitically central of all places on earth

    …What? Ignoring that Taiwan only exists because the US directly subsidized them for decades, how is it geopolitically important? Because TSMC exists?

    Wasn’t there a poll a few years ago carried out by like Harvard or Yale that showed that, like, 90% of Chinese people are happy with their government and feel that it is democratic and properly represents their interests?

        Am I not reading this correctly? It says 95% like the Central government but it’s probably because of propaganda and misunderstanding their government. It goes on to say that when it comes to local government, which is responsible for most services, it’s only 11%. Satisfaction in China is lower than in America. Maybe there’s another Harvard article?

          Do note that the 95% is “relatively satisfied or highly satisfied” but the 11% is only “very satisfied.”

      Don’t quote me on this but I think it was from around 2015. Not positive it was longitudinal but I recall the information being suppressed on the Western side in some way - maybe limiting future studies, maybe just ignoring most of it when reporting.

        In an alternative timeline, where India went communist, while China not, those people would consider Chinese inherently inferior in intelligence to the Indians, and praise the capitalist holdouts on Ceylon.
