I show you YouTube, you show me the Chinese newspaper Pravda. It seems to me that the information is equivalent... )))

Seriously, please don't take me for an idiot who peddles fake news.

I didn't ask you, Comrade, to point out my sources. I showed you a video where a Russian guy studying and living in Harbin talks about how the Chinese pension system works, as explained to him by his Chinese university professor. And I asked you to tell me whether it's true or not.

    Please search what anecdote means before getting offended or assuming what it means

    Russian interpretation

    I translated

    "Anekdot is a genre of urban folklore: a short, funny, and self-contained story. It usually builds on an unexpected and witty punchline at the very end, poking fun at human foibles, stereotypes, or current events."

    Yes, I misunderstood you.

    In fact, YouTube is teeming with these videos about China, but they're mostly positive.

    But I just don't believe it when everything is good, so I look for the catch.

    You can find anything in Russia. St. Petersburg and Moscow are just a showcase; go beyond the Urals and you'll feel sad. It's a region with incredible natural gas deposits, and some megacities rely on wood fires for heating.

    I'm not even talking about the villages there.

    I met a Chinese guy on Reddit, but he lives in the US. His father fled Mao's Cultural Revolution at the time. He probably has relatives in China and knows about it.

    But at least he believes at least some of my jokes. I've been communicating with him for a year and a half now.
