People don’t take into account what was before, they just hate on Chinese government by cherry picking bad things without context.
Very similar to not understanding which state Russia was before Putin and playing stupid why Russians are supporting him even with all the problems he brings.
I am glad you like it, I was trying for years to find any local info from Africa, mostly to get to know the culture there and it was non existent. Looks like big parts got access to internet in the last few years and started sharing, it is beautiful.
I don’t think they will just start viewing withe people, from whose hand they have suffered a lot during centuries and still do, as equals anytime soon.
But I do think that the way toward it is for them to free themselves and looks like it is happening in whole sub Saharan Africa.
It would be interesting to add skin color to this.
Julius Malema, stood before a huge crowd at a rally on Saturday, directly calling for the murder of the Boers
Yeah right, if you watch the whole video of it he was not standing, he was jumping or dancing. And he was not alone whole stadium was singing it. And he claims it is not call to kill anyone, but is part of their history which still hurts.
Funny thing is popularity of it started with Elon Musk complaining and not liking Julius Malema. Musk is from SA.
Here is video showing it and explaining https://youtu.be/U6hksJ6T3GA and to get some context how racist those white people over there are https://youtu.be/-AGPiY6PnDw
I know there is some Julis Malema press conference that last almost two hours and he explains it and answers questions, try to find it I can find it right now.
That said, I can not give you context with some reliability, but can give you links to few yt channels I am following in my quest to get better picture of people in Africa you can find their thoughts:

I will be interested in those, resources too. I grow up in that country, but my view has changed how I see it as I started understanding geopolitics.
I think partisan struggle was one of most important reasons for it to be what it was, while I haven’t accept that until I learned what Warshaw pact is.
The big difference comes from not being occupied by neither Russia nor the US after WW2, exactly because partisans liberated that country from Germans and were against Germany during whole war.
Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria… can complain about being occupied by Russia, but they just lost that war… what did tbey expect will happen if they lose? Nothing? Germany and Japan also got occupied.
All that just to point out that I think partisans had a lot to do with economy that happend latter.
And I think the same thing would happen in any free country (free as free of outside influence/colonisation/occupation), since it would be from the people to the people.
But I do understand why you don’t want those recommendations - you would be swamed by it, there is much more literature about fight that about society.
I think some people just attack the weakest or least protected, illegal imigrants are in that role right now. For a long time it was gay people or black people, but now that it is frowned upon they have found new victim.
You can see some of them pretending to be on the left, liberal or progresive, but they are still angry and agressive.
Maybe US is very different from Europe, but think it depends what someone expects of food.
McDonald is not food. So it’s not for comparing with real food. But even than I can not imagine potatos and peas cost more than anything in McD. less thah a pond of peas and 100ml of olive oil must be less than 5usd, add few tomatos and you have a great meal.
