Probably all the climate change shit

Also if you told a guy from 1923 that the world's most industrialized nation was China they'd probably accuse you of lying

And even nowadays they'd be right to do so...

Least ignorant liberal

What does it say on all your consumer goods again? cap-think

Taiwan, Germany, Canada, EU...

I take quality over slave labor and shit falling apart after a year...

I'm sure you don't own anything made in China then. Canada, famous producer of consumer goods farquaad-point

Whatever little is actually made in Western countries anymore is shit quality designed to fall apart to make more profit just like everything else.

winnie pooh is pleased with your doing

soypoint-1 WINNIE THE POOH TAIANAMMENNMEN 1989 CHINESE CAN ONLY DO BOOTLEGSsoypoint-2 (totes not racist to show an Asian man with yellow skin btw)

Can you do soypoint-1 SOCIAL CREDIT soypoint-2 so we can do all the greatest hits?

China is such an excellent test for how gullible someone is. So many people will believe any bad thing they read on the internet about it, no matter how absurd, and no matter how easy it is to disprove.

So there's a whole fucking Hundred Acre Wood exhibit, Pooh and all, but I guess if you text someone about it Xi appears from under your bed and black bags you? xibe-check

Are you really trying to deny reality here? I understand you hate China and am even willing to belive it's ideological and not entirely racist but pretending they're not a global manufacturing powerhouse is next level nuts.
