Are you lost? Do you need a map? Do you think this is a conservative instance? Do you think everyone here is American? You seem very confused.

Yeah i’m referring to the typical pictures you would see of Shanghai or Guangzhou for instance, especially at night, or some of those futuristic looking train stations China has. I’m sure if you go to the back streets of any city they won’t look quite so perfect, but nowhere in the world is perfect.

This meme went over like a lead balloon at the other instance

Probably because it looks AI generated. A common problem with pictures from China. Their shit is so advanced (not that monorails are that new of a thing but there is a lot of other infrastructure in China that you literally won’t see in any other country, and certainly not on that scale) and so clean that a lot of people literally have trouble believing it’s true.

This would make a great short explainer video targeted at all the people who have recently taken an interest in China thanks to the TikTok ban. It seems that for the first time in a very long time, at least a part of the American (i’d say “Western” but i’m not so sure about Europe, i think Europeans still very much have their heads stuck in the sand for now) public could be receptive to understanding that they have been lied to about China. Condense this down and make it a bit more snappy and you might get a good amount of views if someone uploaded themselves reading this out on Xiaohongshu for instance.
