I’d say it’s an impressive level of cognitive dissonance, but then, you’d already have to be to believe China is a socialist utopia.

I said it elsewhere, but a space where the dominant opinion is fringe among the general population is not really an echo chamber, while one where the space aligns with the dominant views and bans dissenting views is. You can’t avoid engaging with the dominant ideas of society.
Secondly, I have never seen anyone say the PRC is a socialist “utopia.” It’s socialist, yes, but not a utopia. Marxism is anti-utopian.
