Chinese Courts Rule Companies Cannot Fire Workers Simply to Replace Them With AI - Judges classify AI adoption as a controllable business strategy rather than an unavoidable disruption, shielding employees from automation-driven layoffs
It started as pure propaganda but got adopted by all of the basement dwellers living of social support in the west who turned China’s propaganda into a lifestyle (aka tankies)
I think its that people see all the shitty things their own country does and realize that its not really and better. Especially if your an American and your tax dollars are used to fund a genocide for Israel and concentration camps in the US. Neither country has any morale high ground.
Media Bias Fact Check is, in itself, biased. Still, this rating isn’t that bad. They aren’t the best source (if you assume MBFC is honest), but far from the worst.
It’s not tautological, especially as it purports to be a standard of truth. If it were tautological, that claim would be nonsense.
Anyway, there are other alternatives. I do know there was a time where you’d be heavily criticized on Lemmy for using MBFC, as they’re fairly heavily neo-liberal/status-quo biased.
However, I’m not proposing to use one of those alternatives either though (though they may be better). I’m stating that the “MBFC says this” argument is pretty weak. It’s not engaging with the actual content, or trying to check it. It’s purely, at best, an ad hominem in an attempt to dismiss it, without concern for what it says. You’re allowed to use your own brain on occasion. You don’t have to fall back on someone else telling you if you’re allowed to engage with something or not.
There is a big push for pro China propaganda I keep noticing.
Be smart people, it hasn’t changed from the china you knew five years ago. Same dude still running it.
You should also be careful not to automatically go the complete opposite direction just because said propaganda exists.
I imagine the truth is somewhere in the middle.
China is the same, but the western world is in a race to the bottom so at least we can wave to them as we pass them on the way down.

This is projection

Probably not the case for the original creator of the post, who seems to live in China.
MBFC for Caixin Global:
Lol MBFC, the website that calls CNN a left leaning source. Might as well ask rats what they think of cats.
Yeah, imagine how horrible it must be for even MBFC to call a site center right.

You may not be wrong, and I understand what you’re trying to convey, but I don’t think I could’ve conjured a more lukewarm response.
Do you have any alternatives you consider less biased? Claiming this, or anything like it, has its own biases seems needlessly tautological.

You didn’t know anything about China five years ago either
