Majority of lemmy users are US based, and the overwhelming majority are western. Similarly, the majority of lemmy users are pretty leftist compared to the average citizen.
It shouldn't be surprising that we're not hearing much about bad stuff happening in China. And that's not even accounting for the difficulty in getting trustworthy information out of China.
If you want examples of semi-recent stuff from China that largely got passed over, take a look at the civil unrest regarding the apartment fires during China's COVID lockdown, the forcible repatriation of Chinese citizens abroad, suicide rates in major manufacturing hubs, the huge economic hits in real estate and public/private transportation infrastructure, etc.
There's a lot going on that we simply don't hear about because people tend to share what relates to them.
You know if these single issue voters could read, they're be really mad at you.
You're completely right, and I find the fact that this needs to be explained very funny. Ancaps and ancoms are so wild to me conceptually - they want someone to enforce their will on others but hate the idea of a government. Both get really whiny when they realize that democracy doesn't mean "we get what we want" but instead means "we get what the plurality of people around me want". Sucks when you're a minority opinion, even if it's the "right" opinion.
