I'm literally American lol. But I was in China a couple months ago, so I understand why you wouldn't want to listen to anyone with direct knowledge of the subject, we wouldn't want to challenge pre-existing beliefs with evidence and observation.

    If Russia can pay Americans to spout propaganda benefitting Russia, why can't China do the same? I'm not saying you are, but "I'm literally American" isn't a useful response by any means.

    Except you could also be someone's influence campaign. If you automatically give the assumption of "paid propagandist" more weight than the assumption of earnest belief, you may as well exit the Internet.
