  • It is a remnant from the Northern Song Dynasty, as a form of etiquette and being polite, to not to disturb them while eating.

    "凡往见人,入门必问主人食否 […] 度无所妨,乃命展剌。有妨则少俟。"

    “Whoever you visit, you should ask them if they have eaten or not […] if they are about to eat, don’t enter the house until after they finish the meal. Otherwise, you would be intruding.”

    From the book "Lü Convention" 《吕氏乡约》

  • yes I was trolling, sorry. I just want to know one more thing, does this censorship to protect china from outside propaganda also affect prolewiki (since you are working on that project), or is this really just inside china? Because other people, like libs for example, could unironically have some kind of possible opinion that I have portrayed here, so I want to learn counter arguments in action

  • Yes I know all of that, I know that mangopress also has a telegram account and that personal experiences can be easily faked.

    I was just bored and needed something to waste time on, why not hypothetical bs about "evil ccp big brother skynet country" narrative

  • I will maybe try to be less "rebellious" next time I ask a question, I am sorry. You are like the only person here who is able to write senseful answers and educate, instead of just resolving to petty insults like other accounts here. Thanks.

    I have to live with constant counter propaganda, so it is not that easy for me, I have to question every single bit of info about socialist countries to be able to filter all propaganda.

  • No incident happens isolated, only maybe american metaphysical social science professors would analyse it like that. Anyone that has been taught in historical and dialectical materialism will know how to view things like that.

    Thank you for the response

  • Finally, the answer I wanted. Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, you helped me broaden my view on why things are how they are.

    I see the point. Looking at it abstractly as a war between narratives, lies and propaganda, it does make sense. But it does feel like an admission of guilt in the first moment, because why censor when you can make counter-propaganda? But yes, it is logical.

    I was just questioning my beliefs there because I felt like I have been conciously lied to by the CPC comrades, which has shocked me, because trust in the communist cause is endless.

    EDIT: Still, I very much think that agitating a whole squad of wumaos to try to disintegrate the potential dissident for single post thing is too much

    Why does it say nothing about the 1989 protests on Tiananmen Square, Beijing?

    In this article on baidu, there is a gap between 1988 and 1999, why is there nothing about some kind of protest that everyone keeps telling me about?


    Edit: Thank you for responding, you have taught me a great deal about the usage and necessity of propaganda, counter-propaganda and censorship in a Marxist-Leninist state like China. Although some relied upon lies and insults as a means of trying to win an argunent, I got actual contentful theoretical education out of this, thanks.

    Question abou lt Al Jazeera news

    I haven't heard of them until like 2-3 years ago and I see them posted in World News quite often. What kind of a news source is this? Are they biased in some way? Where are they based? Is there anything notable to know about them?

    Question about "memes" of Chinese government officials

    I have some questions about the "funny memes" about President Xi as Winnie the Pooh or Chairman Mao as a cat (I'm sure there are many more, for example I heard some people call President Xi an "accelerator in chief", a very narrow minded and rude term in my opinion).

    I basically only know the western narrative about those memes, I want to learn about how they are regarded in China, if they are actually illegal and/or "censored" and why, what their origins are, what they mean (I know from my scarce knowledge of Hanyu that Mao also means cat for example), and who made them.

    I am trying to "de-propagandize" my mind, since I grew up only being taught the opposing side's narrative. I don't want to be disrespectful, and if I am please tell me, it is not my goal to be rude.
