Since when was there any rules when it came to war? Inside "China's" playbook for global domination or ours?
Everytime I read propaganda piece about china, I just replace china with the US or the West and it makes sense. We are the global monster ruling over the world, not china.
- darkteflon 4y agoAs a non-American, I’ll take American hegemony with all its faults six days a week and twice on Sundays over the alternative, thanks. Most of us have flourished under Pax Americana for nearly 8 decades - including China. As is our human way, I suspect we’ll only really appreciate it once it’s gone.
- walkhour 4y agoNot if you compare current time periods. China is genociding Uighurs. There's no USA equivalent in this day and age. And this is not a propaganda piece. You are far away from reality if you think China and USA are morally equivalent in the current day and age.
- limoce 4y agoA simple side note: Most people in China knows what happened at Tiananmen Square in 1989 although CCP has made much effort to conceal it. But almost none of them believes Uyghurs are under genociding. Instead, they believe Chinese government has been making effort in countering terrorism and keeping peace in Xinjiang for over 30 years.

- qiskit 4y ago> China is genociding Uighurs. It's simply not true. You can repeat lies all you want, but doesn't make it true. You can't commit genocide against a people who's population is increasing and whose culture/language you are protecting. Go watch a simple travel vlog on xinjiang. > There's no USA equivalent in this day and age. The native hawaiians, native alaskans and native americans are currently underdoing actual genocide. Ugyhurs are majority in xinjiang. Hawaiians, native alaskasn and native americans are insignificant minorities in their own lands. > You are far away from reality if you think China and USA are morally equivalent in the current day and age. No. I say we are worse. Far worse. China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. We are ruining people's lives and causing conflict from venezuela to syria to taiwan to africa to ukraine. We are the ones occupying countries all over the world. Lets just put it this way. In 100 years, ugyhurs will still be around. Not sure about inuits in alaska, native hawaiians and native americans. Maybe china should liberate these people?
- voisin 4y ago> You can't commit genocide against a people who's population is increasing What?
- qiskit 4y agoGenocide and population increase doesn't work together. The ughyur population has increased during the "genocide". How about this. When did the genocide start? How many ughyurs were genocided? What is the reason for the genocide? Try answering that and you'll see what nonsense the ugyhur "genocide" is.
- adventured 4y agoYou can very obviously commit genocide against a country or people even while the overall population count increases. The definition of genocide does not require a net reduction in population. Genocide means to intentionally target a group of people, such as an ethnic group, and to kill a large number of those people. Whether the overall population of that group net goes up or down doesn't factor in at all.
