What “data”? Look at the y axis on these graphs, how is this shit even being quantified, lmaooo ImageImageImageImage
WaPo was really like "Plot this totally non-quantifiable info on these graphs to make the line go down 📉📉📉"
“We understand these are qualitative phenomena that can’t be measured, so we did the next best thing which was to ask a bunch of poli sci chuds” Image
WaPo really like ImageImage

tbh out of all the things the west has made up about China, the "social credit system" has got to be one of the weirdest
I shouldn't say "weirdest," more like really off-base, or misunderstood. From what I understand "social credit" as it exists is aimed at enterprises/businesses rather than individuals. It's not a tool of social control for the average person...
Its main targets are businesses/their executives engaging in misconduct. It's a policy implemented by the gov to decrease high levels of corruption. If a business/exec engages in misconduct this system doles out punishment thru restrictions on flying/highest tier on train travel

Come on.
...
Yes, I understand the U.S. has a marine mammal program, but "satellite images" aren't evidence of the DPRK having one. What's more likely is that this is another case of a thing the U.S. does itself projected onto an enemy of the state.

People don’t appreciate what a lovely language Cantonese is.

For ex, the word for “happy” (hoi1 sum1) means “to open the heart”. That’s beautiful! ❤️
Also “careful” is “siu2 sum1,” or “little heart”.

Those small dishes you eat in Chinatown, “dim2 sum1” means “to touch the heart”
"Worried" is "daam1 sum1" or "to carry the heart"

"Sad" is "soeng1 sum1" or "to hurt the heart"

US media follows orientalist tradition of not defining China as it actually is, but rather in its perceived relation to the West, so that China never fully exists on its own terms, but is instead held up as a foil to Western civilizational superiority 1/
This orientalist representation operates on two axes, the political & the cultural:

political: as a gov’t, China is imagined as an authoritarian regime, a human rights disaster, lying/deceitful, a political crisis to be solved thru implementation of West. liberal democracy 2/
Cultural: as a people, China is imagined as morally inferior, a “backwards” civilization, barbaric, filthy, diseased, so cruel that they will eat anything that moves 3/
