I'm not intending/trying to start any sort of argument about how things actually are.

I have no idea. I've never been to China. It could be really bad, exactly the way the video makes it out to be. The video could be dramatized, and not representative of the situation as a whole.

I'm not sure I would believe things that China told me about the US

By the same logic, I'm not sure I believe all the things that US/US-allied media tell me about China

Without access to verifiably unbiased information (which is difficult in an age where nations have entire agencies dedicated to misinformation for political purposes) it's something that's hard for me to form an objective opinion on. And I'm not that invested in it to want to form an opinion.

I just wanted to point out this odd behavior that I've not seen much of on here.
