You can get married to whomever you like in China, you just don't get the tax break. And yeah, that sucks they're a decade behind the US on that one subject, tax breaks for gay couples, while being a century ahead in other subjects.

You know you can go to China yourself and verify that's false.

ML has always been fairly tame*, the problem is liberal programming has made them react violently to anything that threatens the status quo, and ml users tend to offer critical support of distasteful people and regimes.

The way neo/libs are reacting to this topic is the same as they react to anyone questioning why zelensky is now one of the wealthiest people in the region.

Edit* compared to the grad or hexbear or some unspeakable instances.

If it turns out the only solution to climate change is depopulation as research is starting to point to, would a volunteer service or a random lottery be more humane?

What part of uighur culture was erased, exactly, by funding schools, arresting foreign violent religious extremists, and building affordable housing?

Are you saying uighurs are all violent, uneducated, homeless people and should remain that way due to their culture?

Just a reminder before you do the next state dept line, there are more mosques in every major Chinese city than there are in the state of New York.

Yeah that's the unsupported US state dept propaganda I was mainly talking about.

We know what genocide in the 21st century under an authoritarian regime that has complete and total control over the flow of information looks like, thanks to Israel. The Palestinian genocide is the most well documented genocide in history, despite Israel entirely controlling the access to technology, press, and internet, with a tighter grip than China.

Uighurs aren't under going a genocide. You can visit Xinjiang right now, without a tour guide. You can bring whatever tech you want and post whatever you want.

Was China harsh in their initial crackdown of allegedly radicalized elements among the poverty stricken population 20 years ago when 9/11 was still fresh in everyone's minds and the US government was invading a half dozen countries causing terror groups to flee to other countries and start cells there? Sure.

But fewer people of uighur descent were killed or imprisoned over the last 50 years in China, per capita or by total number, than black people were by the us last year.

If that's the basis for genocide, then boyo every country on the planet has committed genocide and is committing genocide.

My dude if your or anyone's eyebrows grow 90% in 5 days you need medical help. Then again you wouldn't get it in the US and a radical monobrow disease might be enough to make someone expertly plan a hit and then completely fuck up everything else.

As long as you don't blindly repeat things from the US state dept without any critical thoughts you're fine. Look into things before you say them, China has plenty of issues, pick a real one.

If you think Harris lost badly, Biden would have set ratio records.

Good news, five companies globally own all of the food you will likely find to eat. (Us/EU/former and current colonies of those two), unless you're growing your own heirloom varietals.

Sorry not good news, the other thing.

What country is that?
