    The reason I don’t trust China is because when something bad happens in most other countries, information goes fast. If Covid broke out elsewhere, you’d probably find tons of comments online quickly, but in China, it seems like they’re trying 10x harder to stop information and save face.

    I honestly don’t care how bad China was 30 years ago, I want to know if it’s bad now, and bad cover ups just make it look worse. At least if I went to the US I know how shitty healthcare is.

      Lack of evidence something happened is not evidence it did happen. It seems almost everything you have heard about China is fictional.

      It isn’t

      bad cover ups just make it look worse.

      I’m hoping to get through to you that this is an incredibly dishonest way to view a country of 1.4 billion people and that you have been conditioned to believe any negative story with no further need for investigation. You are viewing China through the lens of a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy where both evidence for and against what you have heard will reinforce those beliefs.

      You’re the one who brought up Tienanmen Square! Make up your mind!
