when you’re used to propaganda that says china is awful, seeing people say “china is pretty okay actually” looks like glorification.

No one is saying china is amazing, they’re saying china is not actively stabbing themselves in the stomach. China is doing the blitheringly obvious things a country like that should be doing, things that most other countries can’t be arsed to do because the people in power benefit from the status quo of things being shit.

They’re not perfect, things go over budget and things get built shittily by bad companies, just like what happens in every other country on earth.
