Le big tankie Bloomberg and evil stalinist CNBC

I would tell you to go back to your echo chamber but if you don't even trust sources from pro-capitalist, pro-west sources, just because a "tankie" sourced it then you're way too far gone for any form of discussion

Oh no! More .ml comments to shame me!

Let me be clear - I will not, ever, believe anything, anywhere on Lemmy, anyone tells me about the Chinese government. I don’t even think you’re necessarily in the wrong in this particular instance, it’s just not even worth considering it.
