Okay, so background: I'm your average pro-gun fuck-the-police, fuck-trump zoomer honed by years of unsupervised internet access and I've just discovered this community and started lurking for a while. But I still hold extremely negative views on China, which I still think are justified.

"Which views?" I'll throw them out real quick: child labor! internet censorship! media censorship! anti-LGBTQ! uygher genocide? positive and pro war relations with russia! (because fuck putin)

So I get really confused anytime I see people expressing pro-China sentiments. Have I been spoonfed by the media or are some of these points actually justified?

I'm glad OP is pretty thick-skinned and open-minded because Christ Almighty some of the comments here are unnecessarily hostile and snarky, despite the question coming in good faith.

Like it or not, plenty of Westerners hold those opinions and, unlike here, are far less likely to concede on them. So when an opportunity to educate and agitate presents itself, we should resist the temptation and bite back the snark.
