oh, it is… notice no questions about suicide nets being installed on factories… or the tiananmen square massacre….
or people getting disappeared for speaking against the government….
or the Uyghur genocide that’s ongoing….
but hey, i trust a few screenshots of bots talking on an app though
Go try it.
You can go and ask if you want, but you will be mocked because of how ridiculously brainwashed you'll sound.
Wow, you're really just running down the checklist of anti China propaganda
you mean things with tons of evidence? nice try, agent.
Lol no
Suicide nets installed by a company based in Taiwan that also operates in mainland China at a factory located in a special economic zone, one specially reknowned by people for its liberal policies. A company that China's own state funded propaganda said was bad, and that the situation was being assessed. If the company was not based in Taiwan it would be a little easier for them to handle because they wouldn't have to deal with a rabid dog breathing down their neck ready to declare war for even looking at the island. I'm not saying what happened wasn't terrible, but I am saying you should dig a little deeper than the headlines. I found all of this information on Wikipedia after like 40 minutes of research, but please respond and call me a tanky or CCP bot because it would be pretty funny.
What happens if keywords, like uyghur, are mentioned?
AFAIK often on Chinese services you'll get an error like "your message could not be delivered". Posts managing to discuss forbidden topics might be removed without warning, or just be silently hidden so they don't reach new people.
The goal is not so much to prevent anything from ever talking shit about the government, but to make those conversations difficult and to stop them from reaching a wide audience.
I just tried, you get cool videos about Uyghur culture
You should make an account and talk with them, it's very rewarding!
that’s probably immediately censored and your account banned… but i think it’s worth a shot
God, Westerners really are the most propagandized people on earth
