The Kill Line: What America looks like on Chinese social media (jscaff.medium.com)

In the latter half of 2025, a phrase began circulating widely on Chinese social media: “The Kill Line” (杀线). It is not a slogan invented by policymakers or academics, nor a meme meant purely for ridicule. It is a sharp, unsettling, and revealing metaphor used by ordinary Chinese commentators to describe how American society appears from the outside. The Kill Line names an invisible threshold in the United States: a point at which a single shock, medical, financial, or legal, can push an otherwise productive middle-class citizen into irreversible collapse.

...

The Kill Line exposes how deeply American culture has internalized the idea that survival must be earned continuously, without interruption. It reveals how quickly empathy collapses once someone falls out of productivity. It shows how social trust erodes when people know that one misstep can erase decades of effort.

Ooohh look at the pot calling the kettle black in this little propaganda piece

Yeah, the US has problems, BAD problems, and yeah, in the US it's way too easy to fall off the wagon and yeah, once off it can be hard or impossible to get back up. All this by design, yeah.

Can we now do China? Step 1: don't be Uyghur or we'll kick you off that wagon faster than you can say "American healthcare sucks". Step 2: don't dare to criticize, not if your life and your family's life is of any importance to you. Step 3: ....

I could go on for a bit, but you get the picture.

At least in the US they still sort of can criticize and protest...
