    Uyghur Genocide

    Point to the community in Xinjiang that looks like Gaza City

    Violating the sovereignty of Taiwan

    Imagine China encircling Puerto Rico with its navy, then complaining about the US violating its sovereignty.

    Taiwan has been contested territory for centuries. The US attempting to colonize it doesn’t reflect poorly on China.

    Lying about being communist.

    Americans can’t decide if China is bad because Communist or bad because Not Communist Enough.

      Taiwan doesn’t aim to be a US colony. They aim to be independent.

        Taiwan doesn’t aim to be a US colony.

        But the US does.

        Americans will butcher tens of thousands of people on the opposite side of the China/Afghan border, accuse you of genocide, and say exactly this when they’re called on their bullshit.

          You understand the list of things China did was a response to the insane comment that most of the bad things we heard of were made up. Do you think they’re made up? If not, then you most likely don’t have anything meaningful to say about the topic at hand.

            Do you think they’re made up?

            Exaggerated and embellished to the point of absurdity in order provoke a Red Scare and justify a new war.

            most likely don’t have anything meaningful to say

            You’re buying the same lies that lead us into Iraq.

                  You seem to have a deep-seated conviction that the information about China is anywhere from false to deeply exaggerated. Do you have any evidence of that, or are you just assuming that everything is an incredibly successful disinformation campaign staged by the US state department and using that as the foundation for all your assumptions?

                    Due to an abundance of prior evidence.

                    This study concludes that, as was the case in previous iterations of Orientalism, the West continues to claim an exclusive right to produce knowledge about China, often without externally validating its own evidence or entertaining contradictory information from the Orient.
