One of my coworkers unironically sent me the VOA article about kim shooting people who listened to kpop. It was another coworker that pointed out that VOA was an American propaganda entity, and that south korea plants stories like that all the time.

It's not even "South Korea" doing it. It's literally tabloids that get reported non-ironically.

the other part is that media hawkery got people that mistrust it to consider that china is actually doing well, even if these people are in other side of the spectrum against the cpc, besides internet and the "information landscape" being something else entirely than the days of the USSR. There's a lot more disinfo, but there's a lot more distrust either way. still, for some reason, nobody is contesting that china is building a shitload of high speed rail because the material conditions in that regard are undeniable. that's where the cpc wins

I'm laughing at how ghost cities got dropped very fast because doing so would have pointed out that the CPC has housed millions of people while the West is too busy sucking up to financial institutions and landlords to even consider using empty houses as anything other than financial speculation.

Also, a lot of filled up pretty rapidly when they were finally completed which made it a embarrassment. I think even Ordos city is mostly full at this point.

I have been informed by sources that this is because there are provisions in this that would prohibit the removal of "monuments erected in remembrance of those who fought against Nazism in the Second World War" :thunk:

Literally never. The "debt trap" plain doesn't exist. China even cancelled loans or restructured them in response to payment difficulties due to covid.
