What do you mean public protest is illegal. Public protests against the zero-covid policy forced the government to ease up on restrictions. I don't think a single person was sentenced for that tantrum yet somehow China's prohibiting protests?
Yeah Chinese laborers were paid pennies per hour by mostly Western capitalists (and increasingly internal Chinese capitalists). How is that the government's fault? Chinese law mandates minimum wage increases so they are trying to do something about it and mostly succeeding.
I don't know why I bothered to even respond. You're literally a CCP bot who makes these weird allegations against the CCP to make anti-China people look crazy. Be gone from lemmy and make your 50 cents somewhere else. I banish you.

Edit: Where are all the haters and doubters now? Never, ever underestimate my banishment magic again. It was specifically designed to counter CCP energy back in the 12th century by my landowning ancestors.
That never happened. They welded some doors on apartment buildings so that only one entrance was available, and then screened that entrance for signs of fever. They did this because those doors did not have locking mechanisms, because usually having multiple entrances is a good thing. In the specific context of the pandemic, they wanted to track everyone.
And it worked. There's a reason 1.1 million people died in the US and 121k died in China.
China's Zero COVID policy was among the best in the world. Obviously they never accomplished Zero COVID, but they saved countless lives while we were marched to our deaths.
I'm pretty sure humans need to not die from COVID 🙄
Meanwhile, my country didn't give a shit about the fact that I wanted to be safe.
This is just a lie. They announced the discovery COVID on Jan 8, after discovery on Dec 31st. They began limiting travel and started quarantines by Jan 23rd. Hardly "several months"
That's how propaganda works. They repeat a lie over and over until everyone is saying it, even when the facts are that China reported an unknown respiratory illness on Dec 31st, identified it as a novel coronavirus by Jan 8th and confirmed it Jan 14th and published their findings, and then the national emergency and quarantines started on Jan 23rd.
These are the facts and you have been lied to by anti-China propaganda, and younger Americans aren't falling for that shit anymore.
I'm advocating for people to think critically and not fall for propaganda just because "pretty much everyone is in agreement" about something. I proved that you were wrong about China, and what did you do? You moved the goal posts and attacked me for something else.
Also, not all propaganda is bad. Government propaganda that promotes public safety is good. Government propaganda that promotes war is bad. You have to engage with propaganda critically and not just go with the flow whenever you get your marching orders on CNN.
They're marching us towards war with China and you're falling for it.
I'll link it again.
Look at any timeline of events. The CDC was alerted by China on the first of January! There's literally no basis for this idea that China was hiding anything. You just heard that lie over and over and now you believe it, based on nothing.
We aren't at war with China, but you have been so propagandized that you believe we've always been at war with Eastasia.
Dude what in the absolute fuck are you even talking about? Once again, I ask, why would the CCP send people around the internet to talk shit about them? This is a classic Trump tactic of accusing other people of the thing you're doing. However yours is particularly pathetic and non-sensical. Bye bye now.
