    What do you mean it didn’t occur? Something obviously happened, and it’s only a question of whether my government’s version of the events is true.

    My entire RedNote feed Americans whether it’s true that George Orwell books are banned in China (they’re not), and Chinese asking whether it’s true that American schools have shooter drills. Of course I’d like to ask them about the first thing most Americans think of when they hear the word “China.” Unfortunately, I can’t, and I’m stuck with only one version of the events (and I’m not going to rely on Western Hexbear users to get the other version).

      That’s easy, it never is.

        Sorry, but I want to hear it from a real Chinese communist, not a western YouTuber. Find me a BiliBili (or Douyin or Rednote) video on the topic.

                That’s the point.

                I can accept that the Western version of the events are exaggerated. I can accept that the US has done worse things to it’s own citizens. I can accept the protestors had poor motives.

                I am begging the CPC to propagandize to me, so that I can become even more pro-China.
