China and Ukraine

[Deesse23]

Nearly all of what we hear about China in the West is just propaganda

What (negative) propaganda did i have been exposed to?

When I went there it was obvious that the constant stream of negatives we hear are designed to mask fantastic potential. 

What constant stream of negatives am i constantly exposed to?
What fantastic potential of China am i not aware of?

For example, did you know China has a great beer culture? Every city you go to has its own local brews, and they're of a high quality with a lot of variation. How many people in the West know about this? It's not an important thing, but it's something very noticeable about the country, that you'd never hear about if you didn't go and travel around.

When did i, or anyone else, claim that China has no culture?

Take the Chinese bullet train to Beijing, and then fly out of the new Beijing airport to JFK or O'Hare and you'll see which country is doing well. 

If the US didn't keep up the propaganda war Americans would know that actual progress is possible, because China is doing it.

Did you talk to chinese in the train about the current political situation? Criticism of the regime maybe? How did people respond?
