"extreme competence of the CCP in governance"
I don't think it makes sense to extrapolate from one particular technical field to governance in general.
The US managed to defeat both Nazi Germany and Japan plus develop nuclear weapons, all in 1941-5. Was it a proof of extreme competence of the US government in general? The some government tolerated abuse of blacks and forced segregation in the South, I would call it a serious governance failure.
- tehjoker 1y agoYea but afaik China doesn’t have that kind of issue. They do have an issue with anticommunists but I’m not sympathetic to their cause.
- graemep 1y agoThey very much d have that sort of issue and worse. Uighurs and other minorities, treatment of gays....
- tehjoker 11mo agoWorse than us? We're conducting a genocide. The "Uighur genocide" is not real, the people creating that narrative were right-wing christian nationalists and none of it held up. We know what a genocide looks like in the 21st century because it's being live-streamed. Don't buy US propaganda so easily. They want to create a moral equivalence where there is none.
- graemep 11mo ago> We know what a genocide looks like in the 21st century because it's being live-streamed. That is naive. Really repressive states control that. > the people creating that narrative were right-wing christian nationalists and none of it held up. Like the BBC? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-22278037 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-22278037 There is plenty of evidence that China wants to erase all minority cultures and religions.
