Few things blew my mind even though I've been a big fan of Chinese economic and political policy for a while

They actually really like Soviet Culture, the marching soldiers and flags etc. Soviet rock like Kino and the like is very popular!

They're casually Marxist, its not something they have to fight to learn about so socialism is a casual existence for them. I figured the youth would be "too cool or hip" but doesn't seem to be the case

They're very similar as gamers, they really like shooters like battlefield and cs go. I assume their MMOs are different but I'm asking about that

It truly is a massive cultural exchange the likes of which have never been seen before. I'm trying to find out if they grew up on the same games, Morrowind Deus Ex Thief Ultima Online D&D etc

Eh, there's truth and lies on both sides. Coming from someone that lived in china for 4 years and was able to engage with Chinese primary news sources. But basic healthcare in china is faster and cheaper, but then again I went to get a wart removed and they prescribed me acorn paste that accelerated the growth of the wart. So win some lose some.

Everyone pretending Europe doesn't exist? Most countries have most healthcare for "free" (mandatory healthcare taxes).

The kinda people joining Rednote right now are not the same kinda people who know alot about geopolitics, or honestly anything beyond their personal bubble. Yeah, they're just gonna keep pretending Europe doesn't exist.

The wart had to grow so it could be killed

If you'd have left it @[email protected], it would've become a mighty oak. You Westerners are weak. Who wouldn't want a mighty oak growing out their dick?

No. So many goods cannot be produced by children, it is inefficient.

New tagline dropped
