And people have been protesting about thoses wars on the streets, in the media, films, tv,mc, newspapers, books and everywhere else you can think of for the last 20 years. I havent seen any protests against the opression of the Uighars in China at all. Unless you can point me to it?
Vietnam? What a wonderfully free and democratic nation you come from!
- nsonha 5y agoWhy did you dodge the question of what is more damaging to the world? I mean you have the freedom to protest? yes. Have those wars not happened anyway? Wasn't it an elected government that started them? and millions died? What are you trying to say? I won't talk about minorities in China, that is a separate issue and I won't pretend to know. Trade deals, military ramp-up, and wars, on the other hand, are relevant to inter-nation-al politics. I was contemplating bringing up immigrant camps and the war crimes in Afghanistan, but's they aren't really rellevant either and would drag me down to your level of discourse. I didn't call you out, but since you just kept going, you do realise you were not making any argument and simply labeling? These are the same words used by CCP, you're from a communist country bla bla. You're representing the intellect of the Australian public very well. By the way, that's how personal attack feels.
- drumhead 5y agoYou don't know about the treatment of minorities in China??? Don't they have the news in Vietnam? You know all about what the west does but strangely nothing about what China does. Shall we talk about Tiannenmen Square, are you allowed to?
- nsonha 5y agoI know about it as much as you do. If you're saying that knowing a subject is reading about it on the news, especially when it involves a country that is famous for lack of transparency, and a lot of the news can't be confirmed, then you and I are very knowledgable on a lot of subjects. Scroll in this thead to find a comment of mine mocking CCP's Long March. I consider it a contained issue of China and not high on the list of international interests. I also consider Australia's treatment of the indigenous that too, do you want to talk about that? Let me make myself clear. Unlike you who reduce nations to a single thing and categorise them as good and evil, like a retard (China: lack of human rights, US: war mongering, UK: the Queen, Australia: Emus vs Roos), I understand that countries have good and bad and it's better to criticise their behaviors instead, and do it in a way that is relevant to the problem at hand. The tension between China and Australia went way back before all the allegation of treatment to minorities. Unfair trade is the core of that. So I suggest addressing it, instead of partaking in the military tension leading up to cold war 2.0. It is a very childish thing to do if you value peace and collaboration, not just for the 2 countries but everyone else in the region who would be dragged into this show.
- nsonha 5y agoOh I'm an Australian too, after your comment that I "may have different values to Australia", I thought it'd be awkward to mention.
