As much as I dislike the Chinese Autocratig Regime, if they're right, then they're right.

I kinda hate social media. It gives me anxiety and people make all sorts of assumptions from like a single comment.

The good parts are just seeing a random comment like this and then reading up on this. Like, I know very little about Chinese history despite being Chinese (ethnically) but growing up in the west myself.

It led me to watching this video: https://youtu.be/xD1nDGeiSAs

"Hardened by its past, for China there is no valid reason to trust outside forces and international commitments"

Thanks.

(of course I get a downvote ...)

It's worse than that.

Their cultural revolution and GLP caused EXTREME social paranoia.

Many are not stable, the damage caused a psychosis that causes them to distrust everyone and leads to self-destructive behavior.

The Taiwanese are an excellent contrast here, they are what the mainland should be, educated, happy, functional.
