i really don't understand all these people on .ml (who clearly aren't chinese) bootlicking for china
look, i'm a "communist" as well... i hate capitalism, blah blah blah... you guys are right about so many things. china is great, the west fucking sucks. i 100% agree...
but i don't understand why it has to extend to, "ALL criticism of china is invalid"... china has a clear objective of unifying the nation and the culture. and that means pushing out the non-han minorities such as the uyghur people.
is this achieved through extreme violence? of course not. that's barbaric and not-subtle.
china knows how to play the long game. decades if needed. the west doesn't see anything beyond a 4 year election cycle...
There is good criticism of China, but the problem with how Xinjiang is portrayed is that it's the most reactionary, anti-communist people that are pushing the genocide theory the most. They armed seperatists and radicalized them in order to foment a block in the Belt and Road Initiative. The idea that China is pushing out non-Han ethnicities is wrong, China's NPC has great minority representation, ethnic minorities are well protected, and Uyghur culture is flourishing.
so just because reactionaries/anti-communists are pushing the narrative to support their own ends makes the issue fake/invalid?
so if neo-nazis started supporting palestinians to push an anti-semitic agenda, that makes their oppression fake/invalid?
lol, again...100% non-chinese telling us how great it is over there (for non-han minorities). how do i know most of you aren't even chinese?? ZERO actual chinese people, even the most woke ones, announce their preferred pronouns...
i'd love to see all you "they/them" folks try actually living in china....
btw, not making fun of pronouns... i support... i'm just pointing out the irony....
No. Complete lack of evidence that can withstand even the slightest scrutiny makes the issue fake/invalid.
