The millions of Chinese traveling the world as tourists and international students were all once toddlers in a sweatshop too ya know
Tbf the Chinese international students I had at my university all came from very wealthy backgrounds
Wrong, they're all mind-wiped sleeper agents made to BELIEVE they're from wealthy backgrounds. With the exception of God-Chairman Mao—who is alive and sitting upon the golden throne, as the immortal guardian of authoritarianism—all Chinese citizens are sweatshop workers.
If you think about it, this is the only explanation that makes sense.
I never thought about it like that. But you are probably right
The Immortal Zhuxi lies within his crystal tomb, ever vigilant. It is said that a million peppercorn souls are consumed a day to fuel His immense hunger from the psychic strain of repelling the ravenous Sparrow from the borders of the Middle Kingdom.
Of course, that must be why they have never spilled the beans on the toddler factories, they own them!
What's this about beans?
They say don't cry over spilt beans... but I do
Yeah they were brought up in the Gucci and Chanel factories.
If you do go there and report back, they'll tell you that all the people you see are actors (like North Korea) or that they're the upper strata of society so not representative of the gajillions hidden away in prison camps or whatever they need to pivot to.
