It’s mostly what the author left out like The Great Leap Forward orchestrated by Mao in the 60s that killed over 45 million people and now Xi’s goal to claim the independent nation of Taiwan through military force, both sound really peaceful. And the fact China is currently committing genocide against the Uyghurs which can be proven with unbiased news reporting and videos, not propaganda. Also the author’s use of “special military operation” instead of Russia’s Invasion on Ukraine is sad. There’s a lot more but those stuck out.

You needed to trot out the propaganda from your high school history class because you don't have any criticisms of the actual article?

Now the US had/has its problems but saying China is leading the world in global peace is in fact, a joke. I didn’t know this was a communist instance and I’ll be sure to keep this shit off my feed.

The U$ has killed more innocents than any other empire in the history of time. Fuck off, cracker.

"Now the US has its problems but [western propaganda]", it's always the same (or at least very similar)

It always is. And they always seem to think that it is "unbiased" to mention unrelated historical events in every single article about China, but if every article on the US mentioned all their brutal massacres, oppression and war crimes, these people would lose their shit.
