Here on Reddit, you cannot silence the disputes to your propaganda and misinformation. It is not Rednote
It is amazing there are so many people here in this forum trying hard to spread biased misinformation and CCP propaganda, defending the CCP censorship.
A typical such post is
Before you Ask, No it's not Chinese Propaganda by u/shashalalababa
This post appears to explain why the images of China presented on Rednote look so good. It provides a list of related factors which can be part of the causes. But it does not mention the dominant factor - the heavy censorship, which hides all the negative side of the realities. The Chinese government and the controlling authorities enforce strong bias to present information which look good, and blocks the information looking negative, and even use police to threaten people for telling negative side of the reality. Of course, you will see a rosy illusion there.
I pointed out that, and then got blocked by the OP of that post. Typical like in China. There is only one-side propaganda, and the voices from the other side are not allowed.
But here Reddit is in this free world. It is outside of the China Great-Firewall. People are free to lie, and believe the lies. People are also free to expose the lies, to present the other side of the information. I will try my best to dispute the the distortions, to get things straight.
I still receive notifications on the new replies to me under that post. Being blocked, I cannot respond there.
So, I will just "at" people and respond to them here. I will also continue to make more comments here in regards to that post.

This is ignoring the fact that the Western world is suffering through significant censorship on our online platforms, too. Twitter and now Meta have both been caught preventing left-of-centre content and amplifying far right content. To say that only Rednote is biased when the entirety of corporate America is in bed with MAGA and the modern reactionary right is…dishonest, to say the least
No. It is at totally different level. Do Twitter and Meta build a Great-Firewall to block your web traffic to other sites, other countries? Do they use police to send you to jail or mental hospital to silence your voice? If you use "suffering through significant censorship" to describe the situation in the US, what are your fair evaluation on the situation on Rednote and in China? just "biased"?

if their basic needs are all being met they might not have to spend as much time worrying about politics
For Americans are the basic needs met? Do Americans worry about politics? On Rednote there are lot of discussions to compare the living costs on both sides. But they appear to be that the Americans live in hell and Chinese live in paradise. It is because the heavy censorship at work. Chinese are not allowed to show the negative information there. In reality, so many Chinese are trying to illegally come into US, whereas none of Americans is interested into immigrate to China. Chinese people cannot vote. The actions are their vote.

That’s my thought process, like I was on XHS and loving it and then went back to IG and it’s just so much politics, that’s when I realized that American’s are either slaving away at work or thinking about politics. That doesn’t feel free at all, I’d rather let the politicians worry about the politics and I just live my life.
This is actually what the big-brother wants to the people to believe. The government controls and takes care of everything. You just live your life. If you truly want to choose that, come to live in China. LOL.

While the OP of that host welcomed foreigner to visit China and provide the tourist information, I'd like to also point out that foreigners are closely watched by the police. Every foreigners are required to to register at local police station for their everyday residence. If you change a place for the night, you must register with the local police. The hotels do this for you mostly. But the law is there requiring you to do that if the hotel does not. That is a police state after all.
