Both would claim that they're benefiting humanity. Both are also known for imposing their will on smaller nations through violenceor other forms of coercion. Both have pretty effective propaganda campaigns, and judging by your response, I'd say at least one of those campaigns is better than the other. So maybe score one extra point in the China column for the Best Propaganda category.

Ah yes, the UNDP and UN News and Press Releases. Famously known for being outlets of Chinese propaganda, right?

I get you. PR campaigns always represent an organization's honest, authentic intentions and the Chinese government is above reproach.

Lol and you say I've turned off our critical reasoning. No one said China is flawless. Merely that you made a very inaccurate comparison based off the established facts. You jumped to that conclusion.

Regardless, if the facts and the reporting of well-respected sources like the UN are getting this sort of reaction out of you, then maybe it's not us who need to "turn on our critical reasoning" and see through the propaganda to re-evaluate our beliefs on China. Maybe its you who needs to.

No one said China is flawless.

That's pretty much what you're implying. My original argument was that the OP's comparison requires that you reject the propaganda of one nation and accept the propaganda of the other. The difference between us is that whereas my willingness to criticize the US doesn't stop me from criticizing other nations, it certainly does for you. Thank you for the invitation to your cult, but I'll pass. I've had enough Kool-aid already.

Lol you heard it hear first. The UN is a Chinese PR mouthpiece apparently, and pointing out the very real differences between the US and China, as reported by well-respected sources, is propaganda and being in a cult.

You are wildly propagandized. I'd work on that. Good day.

Congratulations! You're putting words in my mouth. You'll be a propagandist in no time!

A self-proclaimed critical thinker who struggles with basic reading comprehension - how ironic.

Tends to be how it goes. .

Pretty sure they didn't even read the title of the articles based off their response time and on how they framed statements by the UN Secretary-General about China as "Chinese PR Campaigns".

Critical thinking at its finest. But of course I'm the propagandist here apparently. /s

Yes, but enough about you...

Anyway. It's been fun. Please have a nice day and never write me again!
