First of all, I want to say that it’s wonderful to see all of you here, and your critical support of the nation I proudly call home. But more and more recently, especially reading through Chinese internet too, there has been a sense of overconfidence and overglorification of China. It is honestly a little worrying at times for me, because as much as I love my homeland and is proud of what we are doing, I know full and well that we are still a long way to go. I see this sentiment of China being the glorious land far away as a bastion and utopia against Western Imperialism and while there’s a lot of truth behind that sentiment, and I definitely understand why one not living in China would choose to believe this (I live in the US now and I understand your pain, fellow US comrades). I just want to remind everyone to exercise dialectal materialism on this subject and try to look at China in a less idealised way. We cannot grow to be better without recognising our mistakes. Anyways that is my little message to you all. Have a nice day!

    Edit: cultist sectarists coping much, I see.

    Thanks for the reminder. If I wanted to idealize things, I would have remained religious, which also reminds me, that China needs to enforce laws and education against all sort of religions, since not a single religion is free of reactionary rethoric, and even the leftiest of Catholics vows to the same Pope the fasciest of catholics vow too. On another hand, I would also love to know how China goes in regard of animal care and protection, which I understand that protecting people goes before, like, a lot, yet there’s no valid excuse for animal cruelty… I would like to know more on this subject and about animal rights activists in China (don’t fuck with me, comrades, empathy towards living beings is universal and its not a liberal shit thing), and look for some vegan commies over there if I could give some sort of support, at least a moral one.

        • 法轮功 is a evil religion that created in 20th century in China. The creator 李洪志 gathered a lot of money by the believers. They are called to start parade in front of China’s governments many people even killed themselves to meet the god. China finally banned it. But it’s protected by America to fight against China. Many lies about China you can hear now are made by 法轮功’s believers

            Ah! Falun Guong!? Yeah, I see them as the Chinese Aum Shinrikyo equivalent. Good thing China is more reluctant to give religious privileges to organizations just because “muh freedumb of religion!”
