If anything certain muslim regions are far from happy.
- free_rms 6y agoAh, the "China is exactly like 1979 Poland" gambit. https://twitter.com/fullhomosexual/status/1328804154165391360/photo/1 https://twitter.com/fullhomosexual/status/132880415416539136... The downfall of the US is that we're SO CERTAIN that our way is the only right and good way, and it gives us blind spots.
- Rompect 6y ago> @fullhomosexual lmao
- porpoise 6y agoWhere does it say that?

- free_rms 6y agoThe quote: Assessment by third-party agencies earlier this month showed that the poverty incidence in the nine counties in Guizhou decreased to zero percent and that the satisfaction rate among locals was over 99 percent, said Li Jian, director of the provincial poverty alleviation and development office, at a press briefing. It does sound like that provincial bureaucrat was getting ahead of themselves. It doesn't sound like Orwell 1984, and it's not really the heart of the story.
- Mediterraneo10 6y ago> If anything certain muslim regions are far from happy. "Certain Muslim regions" really means only Xinjiang and the Uighurs living within (and some of the much smaller Kazakh and Kyrgyz population, too). The Muslim minority in central China has long since assimilated to the Han majority in their political opinions.
