If anyone thinks North America isn't actively involved in propaganda as well, they are delusional.

The amount of "anti-china" comments i come across on the internet is shocking, and I can tell the posters have never left the US, let alone been to the country of their targeted "hate". Where do these strong views come from if they haven't been there, and probably have minimal contact with people who have?

One should separate anti-China with anti-CCP. The majority of comments are not the former, but the latter, and for good reason, as the CCP itself works in opposition to the Chinese people much of the time.

Probably comes from the fact that you can't meet North Koreans because the ones who try to leave get shot.

You can meet North Koreans. US media generally doesn't have any interest in meeting them because they don't always answer questions about North Korea in the required way. US media prefers its North Koreans either silent or pitched to them by the wholly funded thinktanks of defense contractors.
