    I’m sure a lot do. I just don’t expect to see them in my day-to-day life.

      Your day-to-day life…on the massive globally interconnected computer network shared by everyone worldwide who has the means to connect to it? You didn’t expect to see an opinion held by well over 1 billion people on that network, ever?

        That is more of a problem with how Chinese netizens exclude themselves from western Big Tech diaspora, which is heavily propagandised and moderated for NATO/CIA purposes. Even Wikipedia is not exempt.

        Rest of the non-Anglo world has always felt excluded from the internet communities, which are mostly only used by Anglo citizens. Only 10-15% rest of world participates in these places, out of which Russian/Chinese(cn/tw)/Indian/Arabic/ROW speakers are rarely found that speak English. English acts as both a standard language protocol and a barrier of non-white cultural segregation.

      perhaps that’s you being in a bubble? I don’t hear a lot of chinese opinions on anything because I can’t read the primary sources.

      china wouldn’t do sabre rattling if the united states wasn’t the global hegemon doing global hegemony things.
