Propaganda works.
What's funny is I can't tell if you're talking about younger Americans refusing to hate China or older Americans chanting "China Bad!"
Have we forgot about the fucking Uighur concentration camps? Suddenly there's no waitlist for organs after these camps start going up? China bad.
Edit: go educate yourself https://worldwithoutgenocide.org/genocides-and-conflicts/genocide-of-the-uyghurs-in-western-china/forced-organ-harvesting
300,000 people are on the organ donor wait-list in China at this very moment.
You're a perfect example of the power of propaganda lol
The organs I don't know about but the reeducation camps are not exactly secret, both for Uyghurs and their own people. There are many issues the US has but at least the average citizen doesn't have their government disappearing them for thinking the wrong thoughts.
The US has a ton of problems, I'm not saying it's a great country to live in necessarily (I wouldn't move there given the choice). But it's not a dictatorship where laws are optional for the government.
Maybe freedom doesn't mean anything to you when you're not the one being reeducated though.
"Lol" is always such a strong argument. Really shows that your point is to be taken seriously.
If you think that the rule of law in dictatorships is really no worse than that of a democratic country (even one that's currently in bad shape) I think you're delusional honestly.
We have a lot of problems with our legal systems but we don't have gulags where we send political opponents to disappear. We don't have government edicts telling our journalists what they are allowed to talk about.
When your own country does bad things it's easy to look at other counties with rise tinted glasses. 國外的月亮比較圓
Jesus Christ it's impossible to argue with tankies. Either they're delusional or they straight up lie.
If America where you have to vote for one of the two guys you don't like is a "democracy" , then so is China.
Simplistic reductive thinking. "I don't like the guys that are elected so it's the same as living in a dictatorship" ridiculous.
Thesaurus.
China is a democracy. They have voting. You can vote for one guy that does the same shit instead of two that do the same shit.
That's back when they first started being detained, waitlist dropped to zero, now they have run a little low on supply. This was two years ago or more. Go look up information before sounding stupid on the internet.
https://worldwithoutgenocide.org/genocides-and-conflicts/genocide-of-the-uyghurs-in-western-china/forced-organ-harvesting Here's the first result on Google if you took 15 seconds out of your day to look something up before calling bullshit on someone.
Edit: this guy is massively in support of China, saying that anyone that still believes in China's Uighur genocide is brainwashed. Also saying "look at the real genocide going on in Israel." No shit hey it's been demonstrated on a world scale multiple times that you can get away with it, Israel is just the most recent country to hop on the opportunity train.
Both tbh
American failures are being used to prop up Chinese successes. This is particularly true in urbanism discussions. China is by no means perfect and thinking that they are is harmful to progress.
Perfection doesn't exist, but China is on the right track imo
Sure, if you're a fan of totalitarianism.
I'm a fan of their life expectancies surpassing the US - though that's barely an accomplishment, every developed country seems to have beaten America in that regard lol
I get paid 100000000 Xi bucks every time I remove a post. Obviously Lemmy is the most important social media platform in the world that China needs to control at all costs. The communists have even banned brainrot racism on this subreddit.
Its actually all sourced from one single guy who has stated it is his mission from God to bring down China.
It's common knowledge because propaganda is incredibly effective.
Adrian Zenz is the guy. You really should start looking into the sources for more articles you read about China (assuming you read past the headline in the first place). They pretty much all go back to him.
I'm sorry you think I'm a "CCP troll". I'm not. But I don't think I'll convince you, so have a good day.
Right on, I did it and I found a lot of things leading back to Adrian Zenz. I'm glad we're on the same page now.
This is not true. It's so cheap to get the goods here because Canada and USA subsidizes the freight services from taxpayer money.
No no no, clearly you're suffering under Western propaganda. In China there is zero crime and everyone gets a golden car on their 15th birthday. It's true and If you disagree you're a propaganda chicken. (/s)
While the Americans are committing a far worse genocide in Palestine, the Uyghurs are definitely being genocided in China.
The difference is that there is no evidence of the WMD's.
Yet a mountain of the Uygur concentration camps including satalite imagery

So why are the Chinese so desperately trying to keep Journalists out of those places near those camps that very obviously look like the camps?
Some vague annotations in Iraq over unidentifiable objects without clear zoom means nothing. These camps clearly spawning out of thin air easily comparable to past satalite imagery isn't sus to you ?
Lmao
