This is a massive brainwashing that they've done. That's hard to reverse without directly pointing that out. Due to "political sensitivity" that won't be. (People are afraid of standing up to china)

A few things that are going on: (Check up on Serpentza+laowhy86 videos)

- The Confucius Institute is pushing propaganda campaigns in Unis and in public (Their adverts are spammed everywhere)

- In China, they do have people that are willing to turn you in for "violations" (non-government.. citizens)

-- See the video: they'll even try to interrupt talks in the US to "correct the record"

- Forums. Again SerpentZA has found that they are collecting together in Chinese only forums to doxx and harass. Death threats are common there.
