and I find the implication that I must be Chinese and/or paid to talk about socialism

Never claimed that. I am implying seeing what people say within this amazing country you are describing, of course ones that have found a VPN or something.

    Are you under the impression that the firewall prevents outsiders from looking in? The biggest limiting factor is translation of Mandarin to English, and who chooses to perform that, not China trying to keep any information from leaking.

    why the de-facto world language isn’t widely available in such an amazing country

    have you considered why English is the "de-facto world language"? And therefor the context on "world"?

    "China is authoritarian because they speak Chinese instead of English," you can't make this shit up.

    Don't forget what they said earlier

    I’m gonna just drop the truth nuke here so that I can get closer to my “banned from .ml award” quicker:

    As usual, people with a lot of hate towards .ml reveal themselves to be chauvinistic and racist. EVERY TIME. Probably going to make a stink over on yet another .world feudposting about .ml and crying about how much of a victim they are.

    I can and do speak to people from China, but in any case the propagation of English translations depends almost entirely on how western organizations choose to publish them or not.
