Anti-China (The government) is not Anti-Chinese (The people).
I'm South African. I grew up in Apartheid and I'm white. It ended when I was 10.
Am I a bad person? No.
Are my parent's bad people? No.
Were my Grandparent's bad people? No.
The Apartheid Government of South Africa was terrible. Especially to black people, but also to white people who didn't toe the line.
Sanctions were very effective.
- ASlave2Gravity 6y agoAh, thanks for sharing. Yes, I'd agree on all counts. As I said in another comment, we need to be so careful with what we are saying. I just get really upset when the anti-China-goverment narrative spills into an anti-China-people one.
- throwaway_pdp09 6y ago> when the anti-China-goverment narrative spills into an anti-China-people one other than sloppy posting I don't think I've ever seen that (that I can remember). Whereas I've seen a fair number of pro china posts that freely talk about 'westerners' instead of western governments. They tend to get killed pretty fast though.
- powerapple 6y agoThe problem is most Chinese approves Chinese government, and why people from outside keep shouting 'you are not happy' to them.
- oxymoran 6y agoHow could you possibly know the feelings of most Chinese citizens when they aren’t allowed to express them?
- powerapple 6y agoThat's the problem. You refuse to listen to my words. If nothing is expressed, why do you assume the opposite? In reality, most common people are happily to be there, silently, without expressing their happiness in words. People will express anger more often. The same reason that an average person living a normal life won't make into the news. You got me there :) I guess You can always travel. It is a very different place, noisy, crowded, but you can learn about it first hand.
