Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Pardon me if I'm being dumb, but why invite westerners more into the country? Last thing China needs is a bunch of nazi filth to invade the country and risk harming anyone.
some of us go a little over the top lol
As a treat
Sex pats
Pretty much lol South Korea and Taiwan have a serious problem with them.
Pretty sure the government would instantly crack down on that shit if it even caught a whiff of it.
I wasn't thinking of that, I was thinking of actual prostitution of poor Chinese women.
This is like asking why Europe wants Asian tourists and assuming it would make Europe communist. That's not how it works. Instead, there will be a cottage industry catering to English speakers and they will not meaningfully change anything outside of that.
It's for tourism money, and the people racist enough to kill a Chinese person for being Chinese will 99.9% self select and choose a different destination.
Someone willing to visit China probably isn't quite that level of hateful, and if they are, they'll be doing it to just lie about the country (like the youtube "China watcher" white supremacists do.) Having more non-nazi people visit will make it clear to Europeans that their own media's claims about China are just lies.
And the western media's only retort will just be "Don't ever visit China, just trust us on what it is really like and if you do go, don't believe your own lying eyes." which only works on the exceptionally brainwormed (who were never going to change their minds anyway)
why would anyone want the free propaganda of showing how much communism owns vs their shithole western lives
Because Europeans are so racist that no amount of China can cure that.
Europeans are racist against each other though which can be exploited
It really can't, they'll always prefer to be racist to a POC as opposed to another white person
I expect that westerners who actually go to visit China would be the ones that aren't rabid xenophobes. Overall, I think it's a very good idea for people in the west to actually see China first hand. This is the best way to undermine western propaganda about China.
I'm guessing the easiest way to break the relentless western anti-China propaganda is to encourage people to see for themselves. Also, crackkker-money.
