Personally I haven't seen anything pro-Russia, so I can only comment on pro-China content.
Seems to me like a lot of people are finally realizing most of what they knew about China was American propaganda, and it's not actually that bad. Though of course, people being polarized as they are, they're moving from one extreme to the other, and not somewhere in between.
Plus, China has a lot of resources to spend on its own propaganda. This especially affects younger generations, who spend a lot of time on TikTok.
I'd say it's quite likely.
Got any evidence to back up this assertion?
Or maybe people just disagree with you
So this is the lemmy.ml I've heard so much about, huh?
You want me to prove... that China is rich and can afford pretty much everything, including online propaganda...? Hmm, let's see... I guess the fact it's the world's 2nd biggest economy (or 1st if we look at actual productivity and not the USA's heavily inflated GDP) might be a tiny clue.
Would it really be a shock to anyone if a global superpower spread propaganda to be viewed more positively by people around the world? Russia and the USA do it all the time. Why wouldn't China?
I guess people never disagree with you, becuase it looks like it's the first time you've been exposed to an opinion that doesn't align with yours.
imagine telling a communist that they've never been exposed to a differing opinion
