I can’t believe

Is it real that Americans really thought that China had Social credit and were poor like Haiti or that the Chinese could not leave their countries? I am sometimes surprised by the level of ignorance they have, with this that they are starting to use Xiaohongshu (Red Note) because of the topic of tik tok and they are discovering what Chinese cities look like and what the lifestyle of the Chinese is, I am surprised that they are really very ignorant.
