      I’m in China as well and you’re talking out of your ass, or arrived post-covid.

      I’ve experienced lockdowns, pet killings and welded doors; know plenty of 996 companies, and the local salaries are garbage.

        I arrived in China 2001.

        I experienced the harshest and largest lockdown in all of history: Wuhan, January 23rd, 2020. A real lockdown, not the cosplay bullshit you experienced outside of China. (Yes, this is me saying you’ve never fucking set foot in the country.)

        The rest you’re just flat-out lying about. Sorry, Sparky. Did pet killings happen? Yes. They were not the mass shit that the press you’re so obviously reciting acts like they were. Did some doors get welded? Yes. But nowhere near you and, again, nowhere near in the masses the press you’re basing your lies on made it seem like. The local salaries are garbage iff you’re a fuckwit sitting in the west applying western prices to Chinese salaries. (Which, naturally, you are, good little fuckwit liar that you are.) And you’ve changed your tune from 14 hours to 12 hours really fucking quickly there, Sparky, not to mention using the proper slang only after I gave it to you.

        So yeah, you’re just a west-dwelling fuckwit lying about being here. Go toddle off in your China Watcher corners and play with the rest of the intellectual children you belong with. There’s a good boy.

            Bro I hate to break it to you but there’s way more CCP apologist tankies on Lemmy than Reddit. That you won’t escape by coming here.

      Either way I find it funny that the same anti westerners who say China is fair to its workers, are the same ones who always mention that my phone is made by slaves. Sometimes in the same discussion.

      Bruh. Are you smoking crack?

      Your view of how COVID-19 mitigation worked is skewed by breathless, click-baiting media reports (known by most as “lies”) made by people who could not, at a very deep, very primal level, admit to even themselves that brown-skinned people outperformed white-skinned people by orders of magnitude and made up shit to placate their humiliation.

      What are you even talking about?

      I was in China during the pandemic. In 2022 everyone got COVID. Literally everyone in every big city.

      So they should have opened up after omega became the dominant variant. No point in locking people down when they lost anyway.

      It was a good response in the beginning, but they doubled down on it for three years

          You need to relax. You can just explain your points without calling people fuckwits etc.

          They stopped tracking cases in December, so how do you know it’s one third?

          They literally told us to stay at home and not go to the hospital even if we have it
