china is only evil when you deal with them directly
if there is a suitably wealthy and white middle man like walmart, apple or amazon between you and the red menace, then it’s just good old fashion murika apple pie freedom.
I do love this guy’s shiny grey orbs peering hopefully
Yet here you are freely implying China good, with people agreeing with you safe from repercussions.
ironically people in the west are the most brainwashed because western regimes dominate world’s information space
It’s not ironic at all. It’s exactly what one would expect from the longest running and largest empire in the history of humanity.
It’s certainly not the longest.
That would be the Vatican. Been around since the Holy Roman Empire.
i suspect that this narrative has morphed from cointelpro-conspiracy-theory into cointelpro-brainwormed-people; but cointelpro was so successful that it’s turned into a global maga-like cult that refuses to accept evidence that’s available to them – evidence that’s literally created by the cointelpro people themselves btw – simply because it’s not spoonfed to them via their tv’s or phones or wikpedia.
Maybe 15 years ago sure. But these days it’s just the US openly being fascist

It’s a sign of just how engrained ultra-nationalism is in western liberals that they don’t even consider that people with different ideological beliefs are automatically on the same “side” as them just because of national alliance alignment.
It’s not infighting because we aren’t on the same side

I’m saying we are on the same side.
I know you’re saying that, and I’m saying it shows how foundational nationalism is to your mindset that you think you can just declare it to be true even though I do not consider you on my side
Nazis and fascists are unilaterally not tolerated as far as I have seen.
I’ve seen Lemmy liberals tolerate them plenty so long as they’re aligned with the democrats (who themselves are largely fascist) or against the Wests enemies.
We’ve got so much more in common than what divides us
Again, shows just how foundational nationalism is to you that you think you can just assert we have “so much more in common” just because we share a national affinity even though we have different values and ideologies.
but if this how some people on Lemmy want to spend their time, then I’m not going to stop them.
How magnanimous of you… I know liberals are used to being able to unilaterally shut down leftists in most spaces, but you don’t actually have the power to do that here.
Every person in this thread who either responded or downvoted has assumed my points of view just because of my instance
Or we can just read your posts.
I don’t think that’s a smart way to try and grow an actually revolutionary new internet platform.
Good. We don’t want to grow another Reddit

Same side but I’ll repeat everything that the other side says about US enemies like a gospel.
Can’t stand with zionazi liberals of the zionazi instances like .world, ShitJustFash, feddit.org and many others who support genocides

Maybe it’s because I’m European but I literally don’t see anything about China at all except when I see .ml posts (and I guess tankiejerk? again reacting to things).
Yeah same. European too, and the amount of
“China not bad! It’s the Anti-China propaganda that is everywhere!”
that I see, is 50 times greater than any other mention. It feels like the counter-propaganda bots are stuck in 2018, trying too late to make up for the Uyghur situation.
Really demonstrating the point, my god
LOL you’re stuck in 2018 dragging up this China bad non-event
Everyone who doesn’t subscribe to the empire’s absurd narratives about it’s enemies is an inhuman robot only here to trick you, the main character
European
Uyghur situation.
And there we go, liberals already bringing up the propaganda of the UyGhUrS “genocide”
So what’s the propaganda here? Is there actually not a Uyghur “Situation” according to you? Or is the propaganda that the US and the west also do things like this? Because two wrongs don’t make a right.
Cause right now I’m in the camp of they all do some truly fucked up shit.
Edit: gotta love the downvotes with no fucking explanation.
Western propaganda has been claiming the “situation” constitutes a genocide, with no real evidence to back it up.
One of the US’s strategies to destabilize other countries is to back separatists and terrorists. It combines that with information warfare and usually economic warfare in hopes that the instability will open the door for a coup, where a compradore would be put in charge and then facilitate the extraction of resources from the country. This pattern has been replicated dozens of times in the last few decades.
China has been hit by multiple terrorist attacks as a result of this tactic, so it instituted deradicalization practices and jobs training for at-risk populations.
The Western propaganda industry used images from South America and claimed they were forced labor in China (with Spanish signs visible in the background). They used early image generation to fill out a registry of “missing” people, except a lot of the images still had artifacts from generation (if you remember thispersondoesnotexist, they were almost identical to that) until they got deleted. They relied almost exclusively, for a time, on citations from Adrien Zens, a man who cannot speak or read Mandarin and claims he is chosen by God to bring about the downfall of China.
China invited the UN to investigate. Dozens of countries investigated and found no evidence of genocide.
We’ve seen the kind of evidence that modern genocide produces due to Israel’s actual genocide of Palestinians.
So some westerners have walked back their invention from “genocide” to “situation”, while others continue to parrot the original disproven claims.
So it’s not about trying to compare moral judgements, it’s a skepticism of any claims coming from a proven, proudly genocidal empire about its targets.

There isn’t systemic torture or sexual assault. The best and most comprehensive resource I have seen so far is Qiao Collective’s Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation. Qiao Collective is a group of Chinese diaspora living in the west, and they compiled an extremely comprehensive write-up of the entire background of the events, the timeline of reports, and real and fake claims. The majority of their sourcing is western, and they cite official Chinese government writing and white papers when relevant. Uyghur culture is preserved.
I also recommend reading the UN report as well as (especially) China’s response to it, which eclipses it in size and detail.These are the most relevant accusations and responses without delving into straight up fantasy like Adrian Zenz, Christian nationalist and professional propagandist for the Victims of Communism Foundation, does. Zenz’ work has been thoroughly discredited, yet is supported by western media for its utility in fearmongering. An example is lying about 8.7% of new IUDs as 80%, to back up claims of “forced sterilization,” from this chart:
:order-of-lenin:

Your sources both cite Zenz lmao
I don’t know what that means, sorry.
There was a terrorist situation, not an ‘Uyghur’ situation.
Western funded islamic terrorist funded by the west doing multiple terrorist attacks.
And that has been dealth with.
And yes China has jails too, OMG!
They must obviously be al horrible Guantanamos, you know, how the west deals with them.
Definitely believe that propaganda, especially from the deranged religious fanatic Zenz who invents all these things, and later gets parroted without scrutiny by the western mouthpieces.
“Brother” you just literally made 20 pro-Russia and Pro-China posts in less than half an hour in a mix of different communities, and now that someone answered to you, you instantly popped another one. Tell your boss to be more patient with the schedule he’s giving you, and pace the posts better, so it’s less obvious.

Mao accidentally killed like 40 million people over sparrows. That one’s isn’t debated either it was well documented…
Mao has been dead for decades
And as a non-Westerner, if we are ranking leaders, I would like to mention Churchill and UK who killed more people with the Bengal famine.
The Madras famine, Travancore famine too.
