There's a stark difference between Chinese propaganda and information about positive things in China.

You can post about good aspects of the Chinese society without mentioning the government, let alone glorifying it. Same goes for the USA. If I post that I like American national parks, does that constitute American propaganda? Are we only allowed to hate on those two countries?

Just because the Chinese model is incompatible with the European or American ones, doesn't mean there's nothing we can learn from it.

Except hostile architecture exists in China, too, so it is actually propaganda..

Actually, yes. Fuck Yellowstone and fuck Yogi the Bear. I'm gonna go ahead and hate everything in the US and everything in China. EU rules, other places drool! Downvote me if and you dare! I've got a baguette and I'm not afraid to use it!

Nope. Trump says it's the Gulf of America so...

Yogi is now Yogi THE Bear

Tit for tat

Also, Lays' chips are now Walkers crisps

We're taking this thing over!

The Ranger’s not going to like this

EU rules

I've got a baguette

Assuming you're French: why are you defending a colonial empire with literal colonies such as French Guyana, which keeps hundreds of millions of people in Africa empoverished and underdeveloped through tools such as the CFA Franc or its literal army? Do you also defend the murder of over a million Algerians a whopping 15 years later than WW2?

I made a baguette in the usa just a few days ago, the secret to a perfect midwest baguette is corn syrup for the outside texture, brominated vegetable oil to better combine with the flour and water, and habaneros for taste.

This is propaganda though. At least the other post of OP today gets all the facts wrong. That is clearly not meant to start a good discussion on the topic.
