ok, you're baslly saying china is a perfect utopia and everything bad about them is made up by the us, got it

you see, the world becomes very simple when you think like that

but there must surely be some sources that help your claim that everything of that is just propaganda

Why do libs think that pushing back on the most egregious claims about a country means that a person considers it, "A perfect utopia?" There are plenty of bad things about China that aren't made up, just as there are for any country. The world is in fact, quite complex when you practice basic critical thinking and treat claims with skepticism and take the good with the bad. It's much simpler when you just accept any negative claim anybody says about whichever country the news tells you to hate.

The sources you cite rely on Adrian Zenz, an evangelical Christian fundamentalist who works for an organization called, "The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation," an organization with ties to the Heritage Foundation and which counted everyone who died of COVID as a, "Victim of Communism." Somehow. That's not a reliable source.
