Yes, and?
Does anyone think that China is just full of the warm fuzzies and wants us all to hold hands, make smores and sing kumbaya? They are every bit after power as the US is to hold onto it.
The United States has freedom of speech, freedom of travel, constitutional protections for your home and property, and the opportunity to improve your socioeconomic standings. China has none of those things. My first reaction to the headline was "fucking good!". China is a one party State that operates as an effective dictatorship. They imprison journalists and protestors, they have legal slavery, they have almost no concern for the environment - massively poluting the planet, and they are extremely oppressive. Everyone's all about Free Hong Kong and then come on Lemmy and act like they're friends with the CCP. Who the fuck do they think Hong Kong seeks freedom from?
Every bit of this is truly wrong. You've been brainwashed by Western propaganda. I would guess you're from the US
What are your sources for disputing the individual points they raised? I've happy to change my mind on this is you provide evidence.
Pretty easy to see the difference when we compare all the wars US has been involved in and all the countries where US has brutally interfered to what China has been doing.
They're on a de instance, do you genuinely think they're wrong out of ignorance, or is it far more likely they're just a fascist?
DELETED: WOW what a huge fucking misfire. I completely missed who was being referred to and epic failed in the process.
