He made the Birds Nest Olympic stadium in Beijing so he'll be brought up forever.

I was introduced to his work as a kid and people seem to always mention him and his work just to say "China bad." Everytime I try to listen to why it just sounds like grey unlistenable sludge. Partially because I don't know much about history in general so I don't know what the mentioned parts of Chinese history are about. My final reason to give up is because I know much/all of what I hear is probably whitewashed propaganda. If he indeed has good criticism, I don't trust Western media to not twist his words out of their original meaning.

And China has been proven right over the last 15 years about the absolute chaos western internet could bring to a country.

Like what? Are there some main examples you can immediately think of? Do you mean a bunch of conspiracies being passed off as real news?

Basically every single color revolution since the Arab Spring has been started on western social media programs
