Comment on Fear of cheap Chinese EVs spurs automaker dash for affordable cars

That’s right, everyone that disagrees with you is a paid Chinese shill; you see very well adjusted.

Nah, more like people are tired of the “whataboutism”
abbotsbury@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Idk what whataboutism you’re referring to, this comment chain started with someone referencing yellow peril and someone else getting triggered about it.

The downvote bots are out in force. No more Ukraine discourse to target for now I suppose.

Yup. Once you go down the rabbit hole of what kind of CCP propaganda gets pushed constantly, it’s eye watering. I’ve been to China at its peak (2011), and I have multiple Chinese family members born and raised in China. The propaganda is no joke. It’s subtle and everywhere. You say “I think Chinese EVs aren’t safe”, then you’ll start getting accused of attacking “Asians”, which is a classic technique to push the argument from “manufacturing practices” right over to racism.
