Do you think China pays a lot of white americans to post nice things about China on lemmy? Or just me?

On Lemmy? No. That’s the cheap 50¢ people.

I’m at my brother’s house. His girlfriend lived in China (Tianjin) for 25 years. I showed her this and her only response was, “my ass.”

Don’t worry, she hates America too.

I spent a couple nights in Tianjin last year, coming from SK.

It seemed like a nice enough city, nearly as clean as Beijing or any japanese city. What didn't she like about it?
