    China is state atheist, of course they’d try to ban christmas, that’s not abnormal for a dictatorship to do. See theocracies in the middle east, for example.

    But FOOD? What the fuck do they think, americans are putting secret cameras in the hotdogs? This is so obviously bs, and RFA is a well known propaganda source, dude.

      Only in your brainwashed circles bud. The fact is that these authoritarian states don’t want the possibility of any cultural mingling between societies, each has to be as alien as the other for the bubbles of ideology to sustain themselves. That makes it easy to vilify the other. A lot of European societies are largely atheist now, and they still celebrate Christmas, it’s about sharing culture festivities versus preventing cultural dissemination.
