No you didn't 'only ever hear great things about China'. You are just afraid of people ever hearing ANY great things about China.

@realhuazong Don't know why but this hits so hard

Sooner or later, we all watch our parents grow old or sick. It's usually only then that we realize we haven't spent enough time with them. In the world you're chasing, have you left any room for them?

Normal person: "Stop killing children." Zionists: "That's antisemitic."

🙏🙏🙏 The TV show that chronicles the heroic stories behind the decades long fight against poverty in Xihaigu is available on YT. It is absolutely THE best TV show I've ever watched. youtube.com/watch?v=SpZqeV… x.com/Eivor_Koy/stat…

A quick search shows that the pictures you shared are at least a decade old. Two years ago, I visited Xihaigu in China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region—one of the country’s poorest areas, which the World Food Programme once described in the 1970s as one of the “most unfit places for human settlement.” Here are some side-by-side comparisons of Longwangba Village (龙王坝村), which has transformed from barren wasteland into a green ecotourism spot. All the local families have now been lifted out of poverty, and several have opened their own village guesthouses. That said, the Chinese government itself acknowledges in official documents that the gap between rural areas and cities remains significant, which is why “rural revitalization” continues to be a major national priority.

@KevinBur3 @Eivor_Koy You have no idea. The parents did what they did not bc they didn't trust the school, but bc they wanted to do better. That post turned an act out of love to an act out of fear. You are just too thick or have never been loved to see it

@Eivor_Koy There was absolutely nothing in that post that suggested Chinese parents don't love their children, it was quite the opposite and shows that they care enough to deliver food. Should stop trying to find offensive in every little thing.

As a Chinese person, I felt genuinely uncomfortable reading that post. It painted a deeply unfair and misleading picture of Chinese parents who love their children. In China, we have a saying: “Food is the first necessity of the people” (民以食为天). Preparing meals by hand is one of the most sincere ways we show love. Even though my parents both worked long hours, they still woke up early every day to make me a hearty lunch. At school, we kids would proudly open our lunch boxes and compare what our moms had prepared — those simple moments meant everything. Today, I do the same for my own family. Living standards in China have risen year after year, so ordering food is now affordable and convenient for almost everyone. Yet the tradition of parents making meals for their kids remains strong — it’s their way of showing love. China is a hot topic on social media right now, and many creators jump on it for engagement. But before commenting on our culture, it’s important to have basic understanding and respect. Turning warm, everyday family moments into political issues feels unfair — not just to Chinese people, but also to readers abroad who want to learn about us accurately.

The UAE is a dystopia. It's a brutally repressive absolute monarchy where modern-day slavery is rampant. 90% of the population is foreign born, most of whom are poor migrant workers from South Asia who suffer from extreme abuse in the slave-like kafala system. The UAE supports the Israeli colonial regime as it commits genocide against the Palestinian people. The UAE is extremely close to Donald Trump and has engaged in very shady acts of corruption to enrich him and his family in return for political favors. And the UAE hosts US military bases and other facilities that have been used by the US regime to wage a war of aggression against Iran. This is why the UAE is a legitimate target.

@jokieliu Isn't she the lady in this iconic photo?

These pictures are at least a decade old. Chinese villagers are not ignored. As a matter of fact, Chinese villages have changed so much that many rural areas without infrastructure are now well developed. This is a picture of a Yi ethnic family and their house, from 2010 to 2025.

@n1ghtmeido @jokieliu They took the pictures at the same time in front of the old and new houses.

@jokieliu Why did they not age in 10 years?

@KaiserKuo @dennisw5 A classic compliance test.

The Epsteinites and the parasites thriving in the same cesspool are terrified of real accountability so they call President Xi's anti-corruption campaign 'purges'.

Ah yes the typical HSR iSn'T pRoFiTaBlE argument. Fun fact: China Railways that oversee BOTH the passenger and freight operations saw its profits growing QoQ, because HSR has allowed the old trunk lines to free up capacity to run the far more lucrative segment of transportation: freight. Funny how things work eh?

Funny how people always talk about how "democratic" Taiwan is. Their only ally in Africa is an authoritarian state run by a sexual pervert who kills anti-imperialist protesters

This is the famous Nestorian Stele (also known as the Jingjiao Stele), on display at Xi’an’s Forest of Stone Steles Museum. The limestone monument stands 279 cm tall and features both Chinese and Syriac inscriptions. It records the history of early Christianity in China from the arrival of missionaries in 635 AD up to its erection in 781 AD. According to the Stele, a Syriac Christian monk named Alopen arrived in China in 635 AD via the Silk Road from 大秦 (Daqin, the Chinese name for the Eastern Roman/Byzantine world and its eastern regions). He and fellow missionaries from the Church of the East brought sacred texts and images. The Tang court granted them permission to translate scriptures and establish a monastery in Chang’an (modern Xi’an). At that time, Chang’an was one of the world’s largest cities and a major center of international exchange. People from Persia, Central Asia, Japan, Korea, India, and other regions lived there. Historical records note the presence of multiple religions including Buddhism, Daoism, Manichaeism, and foreign faiths such as Nestorian Christianity. The city contained numerous Buddhist monasteries, Daoist temples, family shrines, and sites for foreign religions. The Stele is one of many monuments in the Forest of Stone Steles Museum that document cultural and religious exchanges during the Tang dynasty with regions including Japan, Nepal, and India.
