So, in your view, every government in the world is totalitarian and genocidal? How can you compare the Chinese government, a dictatorship, with most democratic governments from western countries? Of course some governments do bad things, but tell me something genocidal the US government or Canadian government or any EU country is currently doing.
There is no logical way to compare the Chinese government with any other government from the west. People in China aren’t free and can’t do anything unless the CCP dictators let them.
Imagine insulting the CCP leaders the way everybody does in television in the US to their own government. You’d had the military involved and everybody would disappear and get ‘re-educated’ or murdered.
And, btw, I don’t think the Chinese steal, I think they mostly copy.
- Ceezy 6y agoSlavery /native american genocide, Philippine colonisation, no reason whatsoever to attack Iraq...
- cyrksoft 6y agoExcept for recent and pointless wars (mostly US here) you mention things that are more than 100 years old... China does all those things today. Your point makes no sense whatsoever.
- Ceezy 6y agoUS is still in Irak now... It's really not hard to find where the US is military active. The US jail population is 2 M, China, 1.5 M. It's little stuff like this that make the US look worse than China. Be sure that once China is finished killing Uyghur they will say that's an old story like ... hum ... the US. So yeah continue justify crimes, just remember one day, it could be your turn.
- NoNonsense118 6y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilization_of_Native_American_women https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilization_of_Native_Americ... This was just 40-50 years ago, and the effects remain today
- sudosysgen 6y agoThe point is that the factors that led to these crimes are all still there. Were the circumstances to arise again there is scarce doubt history would rhyme or repeat.
- megous 6y agoObviously only now matters now. Not 150 or 15 years ago. Don't ask me why.
- Ceezy 6y agoSo if only now matter you mean that nobody should pay their debt? Cause i know a country who goes to extreme length to get back his money... So which was in it? Both ways i guess. By the way if you interested the US is STILL in Irak, Donald Trump PARDON the CEO of Blackwater, US is supporting the war in Yemen, look it up it goes on and on....
- megous 6y agoIt was sarcasm.
- sudosysgen 6y agoThe systems that committed those injustices and crimes against humanity are alive and kicking. The processes and motivations that led to those matters are still present. The only thing that changed is that there is no more motivation to commit such atrocities again, surely those will come back. Beyond that, I don't see why we should excuse past crimes. All that motivates is for future crimes to be done faster so that the moral high ground can be restored then.
- krageon 6y ago> You’d had the military involved and everybody would disappear and get ‘re-educated’ or murdered. This is incredibly overblown. What's much more likely is that you'll be low-key harassed until you stop, unless you are literally trying to start a revolution. That really isn't all that different to what will happen when you harass your own government. It's not pleasant or right, but it's not a thing that happens in only one place. > something genocidal There are conflicts in the balkanised countries that are relatively recent (think the last 10-30 years) that when everything was over ended up with tribunals over what is essentially genocide. What you'd term "democratic governments from western countries" were the main driving factor in what went down. I will I guess just politely not mention what the US does every single day for absolutely no good reason, because other people have already done so. You can find old and relatively new evidence of wrongdoing on every powerful country, because that's fundamentally what they do no matter how the leaders came to power.
- castroliu 6y ago` People in China aren’t free and can’t do anything unless the CCP dictators let them.` I'm Chinese, I feel assaulted when westerners say anything closer to it, how brainwashed they are and how corrupted your media is. The truth is, human are the same, China is huge, nothing is perfect, but of course people are free living in China, if the government corrupted, there are various way to report, and the local leaders got banished if found evidence valid, the reality is, the government is doing good for its people, if you shouting out lies and creating chaos in public, you will be stopped and condemned first by Chinese people, and any government in the world would be standing out, as it's their duty to do so. While people here only want to hear what they want to hear, no matter how I explained, it seems pointless, just one last comments, I'm here because I have free life in China, and I have opportunities to study, work freely, less politics, more about myself development, and studying abroad, learning to be open, cooperate with people, respect different culture, and don't make any comments on something that I don't know/understand, put peace ahead, if you are rich and strong, its your responsibility to help the weak and poor, otherwise, take good care of yourself etc. You see, those values are taught and advocated widely and are the basics in any education level in China, and this won't happen without a government guide its people. Anyway, please next time when you read news(mainly media from USA, and its allies, UK, Canada, AUS) about China, just pause a second, and think with your own mind, don't take everything they say, that's it.
