Saying that they do propaganda and censorship as like a "you can't trust them" justification is ridiculous though. Literally all states do those things, and non-state solutions don't work, as has been repeatedly demonstrated.

If that's your stance, then i can also say the same thing about the US:

"Saying the US does propaganda and censorship as like a 'you can't trust them' justification is ridiculous though".

That's your argument now used to support my stance.

I never made that argument though. Are you here to shadowbox or talk?

You never outlined why you think the US is untrustworthy. I am however saying that regardless of the facts, China is just as untrustworthy if not more so.

Your stance seems to be based only on vibes so 🤷
