      When it comes to trains, we’ve all seen the horribly photoshopped gifs of the trains running on their empty rails.

      Are you suggesting that China built a massive railroad network, but is lying about having trains?

      Real “Lets fake the moon landing on the moon” hours.

                  Honest question, do you not find yourself being chauvinistic when you dismiss all Chinese media as lies until proven true, but accept all western media as truth until proven lies?

                  How about when China insisted the Ballon that was blown into US airspace was not for espionage, the western media on all fronts called it a spy balloon, then months later quietly admitted it wasn’t spying?

                  Does that not increase the credibility of China/decrease the credibility of the west in your eyes, even a little?

                  What about the years of articles about social credit being some Orwellian nightmare, when China insisted it wasn’t, and only after it was implemented did the west quietly admit that it was localised tracking for businesses to account for fraud and wage theft?

                  Conversely, the west did lie about WMDs in Iraq, swaying public opinion so as to launch an illegal invasion that resulted in a million Iraqi casualties, or the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and that doesn’t damage credibility? How do you resolve the cognitive dissonance in your head?

              *since they’re well known to spout lies according to western official, CIA sponsored thinktanks and western media.

              What about the lies whestern media and western officials are well known to spout? Western media are infamous for lying about countries the US sees as rivals or ennemies, do these lies not make the narative about China at least a little bit suspicious to you?

          I’ve been on the Wuhan->Guangzhou train and it was like 4 hours incl stops. It’s roughly 1,000 KM (660 mi). Did the CPC somehow move the south coast of China inland northwards? I physically went from Wuhan airport to the ocean via train in less than 5.5 hours.

          Like you’re talking to the forum most likely to have visited China. It’s not fucking North Korea, you can actually go there and get on the trains dipshit. Blanket dismissing all sources from China because some YouTubers told you to is just asking to be dunked on

            China is using miniature black holes for folding space to hide their failing train system. Several high-ranking officials working on the “trains” were recently seen having been partially spaghettified, just real noodly-looking.

              Holy crap you’re right. How did I not see through all the CCP lies before now.

              All of China’s “economy” and “infrastructure” consists of photoshopped images that circulate the internet. Chinese people are so thoroughly propagandized that they don’t realize that none of it is real.

              It surely can’t be that a boomer governmental worker reposts whatever he sees on wechat. It’s the irrefutable proof of the nefarious CCP plan, which all 100 million members are privy to.

          Woa! A promotional video containing CGI! This is something that litterally no institution or companie does!

          The cars in car advertisement are almost always CGI and not the real thing, does that mean that Wolkswagens and Toyatas aren’t real? No, of course it doesn’t! That’s stupid.

          If you want to see the real thing, there are plenty of videos of China’s high speed trains on youtube including of vloggers taking those trains, heck, you could go to the fucking country to see them with your own eyes.

          If instead of searchin/doing any of that you prefer taking at face value an acount from racist shitheads who see no problems with digging up litteral human remains from unmarked graves that’s a skill issue on your part.

          Do you… think that search engines other than google don’t exist or something? And Chinese people have been operating without internet search engines this entire time? Do you think it’s weird that you use an American technology company’s name as a verb to describe a common action?

          Always funny to me how you guys burned in your mind that China is ontologically bad so hard that you just throw accusation of lying without any evidence. You just suppose shit and don’t see any problem because to you China is a bad evil country is self evident and so anything that potentialy corroborate this “truth” has to be true.

            Here’s a source from the World Bank

            Over the past decade, China has built 25,000 km of dedicated high-speed railway—more than the rest of the world combined.

            Even the high priests of capital cannot ignore what are basic facts of infrastructure.

          You can just google shanghai maglev, it makes the journey in about 8 minutes, sometimes less.

          I’ve done this before with other “china experts” who believed such silly things as that Winny The Pooh was banned in China, but they never let reality get in the way of their pre-conceived notions, or examined how they got those erroneous views.
