I’m not sure China really cares all that much.
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… Piss ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion… I watched Pee-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in rain…

China bad obvs
I thought Putin was responding to Ukraine persistently breaking the three Minsk agreements (a ceasefire of sorts), with their ethnic cleansing of ethnic Russians in Donbas.
But what do I know.
I’m just asking you to provide an example of what Putin thinks of ceasefires
Please, point to some ceasefire violations.
I’ve been to Xinjiang and spoken to Uyghurs. They either laugh at the idea of a genocide or are horrified that such a narrative exists. The huge amount of Uyghur culture being practiced and celebrated and used as a source of internal tourism for China again suggests that no genocide is taking place.
What did happen is a deradicalisation campaign almost 10 years ago. That was to prevent the spread of fundamentalist Islam in the wake if the Arab spring, which was backed by the west, resulted in the fall of Libya and it’s current woes and the rise of Isis in Syria.
The west wanted this wave of madness to spread into Xinjiang and do to it what they have done repeatedly in the Islamic world, which is use radical Islam to topple governments opposed to US hegemony. Is it any wonder that when China fights back against this the west starts up the propaganda machine to invoke accusations of genocide.
This is the exact same playbook they used against communist Afghanistan and the Soviet Union, which resulted in the Taliban.
I’m travelling and it constantly comes up. The fact that I’ve been there, spoken to Uyghurs, and they’ve either laughed or been straight up horrified at the western narrative is apparently not evidence enough to convince most westerners. There have been exceptions, like this sweet but naive couple from Canada who’s world view my girlfriend and I were able to completely change over the course of a couple of weeks.
I think for most they’ve convinced themselves, with the aid of a huge amount of propaganda in the form of news and TV/movies, that the west are the good guys. The thought that anything else could be the case is simply impossible to contemplate, as it would utterly shatter their world view and morals
Is there a layman’s explanation for this?
Isn’t the Palestinian authority that group of collaborators that help Israel with their war crimes?
He dead
Wait, they destroyed the mosque?
Edit: nvm, they made a video depicting it
Sadly it’s not nationalised. Somehow the tax payer is paying for it but it’s not nationalised…
That one comment about china “being obsessed with how much we eat” as if the Chinese don’t have plentiful access to mountains of cheap, high quality, delicious food. It’s a real crying wojak cope response.
Americans should be obsessed with how much Chinese people exercise
The relief sure is something
I’m a communist
The guy who banned elections, calling the guy who just had elections a dictator.
No, just read it again and it really does not look like China is trying to erase cantonese.
Well yes, what about it?
They actually do. They can refuse to fly there. Israel’s victims, those people have no choice.
Edit: I want to back my stance up here with an example of what I did about 3 years ago. I used to work for a small NGO and when I accidentally saw some budgeting spreadsheets and saw how much of our funding went to our board members Vs actually buying drugs and paying surveyors and community drug distributors, I quit in disgust. I took a huge pay cut from that. Like 50% of my salary just gone.
So yeah, I think for genocide I would do the same
