Obviously the claims are complete bullshit and it doesn't actually matter.

But I feel like they probably could have made it look a little less like a public hanging. Not for any geopolitical sake, but just like "hey doesn't this look kinda like a gallows?" "yeah that's a little morbid, we should change the design".

But the problem is that anyone who can read Chinese knows instantly what this is and even people who can't can discern it readily. Yet China watchers and their credulous followers think everyone is dumber than them and will fall for this shit.

That suspension trauma strap is something I never would have known about it it wasn't for this

Yeah there's a lot of neat shit out there we don't really get to learn about unless we're involved directly in that line of work that necessitates it. Not mentioning decaying health and safety standards in corporations leading to a lack of proper issuing of good personal protection equipment, a lack of proper training on how to utilize it, and a focus on corporate legal liability waver pencil-whipping to ensure stockholder margins are protected from workplace accidents.

Maybe they did it on purpose because they thought it was funny, and it is funny.

What if china intentionally does things that look dystopian out of context just to fuck with westoids? Like a reverse of the trope that everyone there is a paid actor putting on a show of normalcy for the rest of the world

It would be funny if they did it especially to troll westerners and their "they are all paid actors" .
