Young Western social media users are embracing a “very Chinese time” of their lives, and China’s government is keen to use this moment to boost the country’s cultural influence worldwide.

    This is just another absurdly weird propaganda spread by Tiktok influencers.

      Yeeeeep. The idea of swapping one imperialist crusher of human rights for another because of the embarrassment that the US has become is too stupid for anyone other than influencers to bite off on. I hope the next generations become better about seeing through propaganda like this.

        I think it’s good to chip away at American exceptionalism. Americans need to see that through their own choices, they are losing.

    Wonder why though… Mainland Chinese are xenophobic cunts, as per party policy.
    Their literature/media has to uplift China and/or denigrate any other culture to avoid being censored. And often ends up disconnected from reality in pursuit of mindless ass-kissing.

    Are we really that easily susceptible to cults of personality? (It’s rethorical, of course we are.)
