I do love how you keep playing to Tiananmen Square card like it’s all 5 pieces of Exodia against Hexbears (supposedly) and it repeatedly has no effect.

The times in your past where it’s worked, it may have been with teenagers that support China to be edgy.

We’re educated who understand China’s faults and side with China over US/UK/Can anyway. But you simply can’t comprehend people that think China’s positives outweight it’s negatives without them being paid 50 cents a post.

My god this man’s name was incepted into the past from a Brace Belden fever dream.

It was 2 years ago, yes

Now that the China struggle session (struggle for the libs, at least) is locked, let’s start another one.

Should we call it Isntrael or Occupied Palestine?

Source? Zhengfei couldn’t even keep his own daughter out of prison. Xi has been the one to crack down on billionaires (part of why a lot of my family like him better than Hu) so if it happened ages ago, I don’t remember. Even so, he’s less wealthy than Jack Ma, who is subject to the CPC’s rules, not vice versa.

All I know is the CPC has done more for the working class, lifted more workers out of poverty than any of the government’s that have earned your respect.

If all they wanted to do post 1989 was to maintain and expand power why the fuck haven’t they? Mongolia is right there, the Qing annexed it, the ROC annexed it, but the PRC can’t? Why forgive loans for Africa?

Why exempt Tibetans and Uyghurs and Mongolians from the One Child Policy? What kind of fascism does population control on the Han majority but not the minorities in their country?

If the goal was to acquire power, there are dozens of regimes that have done a better job at seizing absolute power, but instead the CPC open up more? The Juche government of the DPRK has absolute power, why didn’t China cloister itself from the world like pre Deng? Or start proxy wars in foreign countries to push nationalist jingoism?

I support my countrymen, no fascist thugs. If you’ve ever been to China you’d know it’s not some Orwellian nightmare state. Listening to the media’s portrayal of China when they lie or twist the truth on just about anything else is the brain worm talking. China’s fascist like Saddam has WMDs.

Think about where you’ve gotten your conception of China from and question whether or not they’re biased. You’re talking to someone with first hand experience in China.

Charlemagne should have lost at Tours

Shitposting on company time

Go to Sydney Chinatown and ask them what the opinion of China is and 80% will be pro China not against.

Strike up a conversation in Mandarin with a line cook or waitress, any one of the working class.

Having to pretend to dislike China is a defense mechanism, otherwise the cumskins will turn on you like you’re a subhuman or a spy because they all have attitudes like you, which I do get reinforces the notion that overseas Chinese dislike China. But hate crimes against Asians are on the rise, so better safe than sorry.

We are not some brainwashed masses at the beck and call of the CPC, liberals like you just don’t understand the concept of critical support. You’re either 100% behind something or 100% against it.

Dude I am Chinese. I was born in China, my family is from Tianjin and Wuhan. My grandfather grew up illiterate. His comrades were mostly illiterate. One of my grandfather’s comrades I call 爷爷 was the one that went from a peasant family to living in a flat he owns.

你认识多少华人？

Uncovered over decades? It seems like decades in internet years but the first reports started in 2014, less than 9 years ago.

??? Xinjiang’s curriculum still has Uyghur as the primary language as of 2023, Uyghur internet celebs aren’t speaking Mandarin on Douyin (ever wonder why TikTok has subtitles as a default? Partially for the hearing impaired, but the app it’s cloned from is Chinese and that is multilingual, hence pushing for subtitles as a default. Cantonese, Hokkien, Haka, Min, Tibetan, Uyghur, etc etc)

The news is broadcast in Uyghur, the road signs are in Uyghur

What Reddit post said Han people were going into homes to enforce Mandarin? Han people ourselves don’t even speak Mandarin exclusively.

That’s ridiculous since the Chinese like China and we’re 18% of all humans.

Here’s an article about Americans getting salty that views on China in South America are largely positive as opposed to sub 50% approval rating in English speaking countries.

Here’s Voice of America saying the same thing about Africa and how Africans see China.

Your opinions on China is not only in the minority, it’s a waning minority. Those are western sources I used in case you wanted to cry propaganda.

Have you considered turning the other cheek?

Its quite common. The mods for r/Afghanistan consists of

1: the Westminster Institute’s Reddit account, a pro US think tank

2: the Hoover Institution’s Reddit account, a conservative think tank that had Margaret Thatcher as a guest contributor and honorary fellow

3: Foreign Affairs Reddit account, yet another pro US think tank that justifies US policy in Latin America

4: American Security Project, a US NGO

And previously they had a Hindu ultranationalist that ended up getting banned or something for being too islamaphohic

I am become shitposer, destroyer of servers

Billionaires exist as a necessary evil, they’re not deities like they are to the west like Gates or Bezos, or a pillar of power like Russian oligarchs. China may not be Marxist as it is, but to completely cut away from the rest of the globe would be suicide. Market socialism relies on being a necessary part of the global economy, and China being able to manufacture in it’s current state while being able to raise the conditions of the proletariat makes it either the worst socialist state or the best capitalist state. Neither is worth of the vitriol it has received. If they must exist, better they exist for the benefit of the people rather than own media companies that push right wing agenda.

The fixation with executions comes from the accusation that billionaires are in charge. It they truly were, they wouldn’t be subject to the same laws as the common folk, and yet herr they are. Unlike Russia or the west, they are held accountable for their actions to a higher degree. All else equal, the CPC treats billionaires worse than any other form of government, and that’s not a bad thing.

For your second point re: elections: Why? The US doesn’t even have free elections, an electoral college overrules pupular vote, nor does the UK, the king and house of Lords aren’t subject to democracy. The Soviets had a free election in 91, voted to remain socialist,nand it was hijacked by the west. Allende was democratically elected and the west supported the usurper. An election while liberalism exists is just inviting interference. Taiwan didn’t have elections for 4 decades and were still beloved by liberalss. The house of Saud doesn’t have elections, did 9/11 and is a close US ally.

If the outcome is obvious, why waste time and resources to indulge western sensibilities, as if bourgeoisie democracy is a human norm, when you can skip that step and move on with increasing society? If it just leads to a Chinese Jan 6th, or worse, why would that possibly be on the table? The CPC would win and somehow the losers would obtain US military grade weapons and seize power. And even if there were no interference and the CPC won anyway, guess what? Every paper in the west would claim it was rigged.

Sorry for the culture shock, Lemmy.

But also Vencermos

Look. I may have underrestimated how this is would have gone. Sorry to the server hosting PPB. It was supposed to be a jab at libs that wasn’t worthy of a separate post on dunk tank

My bad

你以为我的同志们生气吗？
