The obliviously coordinated propaganda that says the current-day China has an Indian-style caste system is so unreal that most Chinese don’t even understand what it is trying to say. Similar to a social credit system. The first time I heard about it from a French family who was simply curious about China, I thought they were asking about how credit cards worked in China. The so-called high caste Shi means officials in the ancient China and feudal society. They were the ones that passed the imperial civil servant exams to enter the public sector. And the viral picture with Chinese words that is supposed to show how informed some posts are perfectly revealing that these propaganda pieces are manipulating the public with unrelated visuals: The slide literally says traditional Chinese social hierarchy. Thanks to the contemporary revolutions in China, feudal slavery and lawlessness is no longer the case in China. Moreover, for the ancient feudal system, even academically, the pyramid is also an oversimplification because even though the business owners and traders were not valued much by Confucian thoughts, they were still very influential because of their impact on the market and people’s daily life. That won’t place Shang at the bottom of the pyramid. Moreover, the emperor is also held accountable by and should be placed under a higher power called the heavenly rule, which is aligned with the well-being of the ordinary people (Baixing, hundred surnames). Tianzi itself means the son of the heaven, and they were overthrown or replaced very often. That’s why dynasties after dynasties appeared as the previous ones caused enough pain for its people and some revolted. The emperor’s legitimacy can be compromised because of ineffective governance. Again, it is shocking to see so many similar lies based on one identical erroneous narrative. It is completely coordinated.

This is what an avg street in ‘superpower’ China looks like 🤮
