    What I find funny is that they idolise China as some form of left wing communist utopia. When in reality it’s a very conservative and hyper capitalistic society, just with tonnes of authoritarianism and government control.

        Discrimination against LGBT people is rife in China. The social attitude towards them isn’t great either.

            This is depressingly hilarious that they even do this in movie posters

            Is it Muslims or just racism? I know they still have blackface on TV and the great censorship Firewall doesn’t block racism.

            Also some African nations have had issues with Chinese delegates being racist while in some African counties

              They particularly don’t like Muslims because of the native Muslim populations up north, such as the Uyghurs.

          I’m pretty sure it way more than discrimination against LGBT. They are hostile to those who don’t fit the narrative and make groups “disappear.” They also don’t allow freedom of belief

      I wouldn’t call them conservative. It is just plain authoritarian with communist like ideals. They lack a fair justice system and the entire economy bends down to the will of a single party controlled by an exclusive group. There are parts of China that aren’t capitalist at all and are just for people who aren’t young and able.

        What ideals? In China if you’re sick and cannot pay they just let you die. At least in America they cripple you with debt but still treat you
