Woah, a "Choose wisely" meme with legitimately mutually exclusive choices.

Interesting. I would also point out that he claimed that the Duge bridge cost 1 trillion months ago from his older videos on China. So all this time, none of his audience pointed out that error 🤦

Hell, I'd also argue these guys are disconnected from reality. TL:DR blasts China for building bridges in Guizhou and says that the people there are "too poor" to justify such an investment. However, he does not make the connection that Guizhou's poverty is connected to its isolation due to the various mountains. Even if you were to "stimulate consumption" in Guizhou, how would those goods and services make their way into or out of Guizhou en masse? Will they magically teleport past all the treacherous terrain? How will people easily get in and out of the province for work? health? or education?

Not only that, he blatantly lies in the video, claiming that the Duge bridge cost 1 Trillion Yuan to build, but I can't find any source that says that. Most sources say that the bridge costs 1 Billion Yuan, not 1 Trillion Yuan.

tldr: TLDR "news" (and others like him) are disconnected from reality, lack basic empathy (le people are too poor to justify the bridges), and are full bags of shit.

Saying "the enemy suffered heavy losses" works for short-term propaganda but has diminishing returns the longer you use it...
