    Maybe it’s because I’m European but I literally don’t see anything about China at all except when I see .ml posts (and I guess tankiejerk? again reacting to things).

      Yeah same. European too, and the amount of

      “China not bad! It’s the Anti-China propaganda that is everywhere!”

      that I see, is 50 times greater than any other mention. It feels like the counter-propaganda bots are stuck in 2018, trying too late to make up for the Uyghur situation.

          So what’s the propaganda here? Is there actually not a Uyghur “Situation” according to you? Or is the propaganda that the US and the west also do things like this? Because two wrongs don’t make a right.

          Cause right now I’m in the camp of they all do some truly fucked up shit.

          Edit: gotta love the downvotes with no fucking explanation.

            There was a terrorist situation, not an ‘Uyghur’ situation.
            Western funded islamic terrorist funded by the west doing multiple terrorist attacks.
            And that has been dealth with.
            And yes China has jails too, OMG!
            They must obviously be al horrible Guantanamos, you know, how the west deals with them.
            Definitely believe that propaganda, especially from the deranged religious fanatic Zenz who invents all these things, and later gets parroted without scrutiny by the western mouthpieces.

            Western propaganda has been claiming the “situation” constitutes a genocide, with no real evidence to back it up.

            One of the US’s strategies to destabilize other countries is to back separatists and terrorists. It combines that with information warfare and usually economic warfare in hopes that the instability will open the door for a coup, where a compradore would be put in charge and then facilitate the extraction of resources from the country. This pattern has been replicated dozens of times in the last few decades.

            China has been hit by multiple terrorist attacks as a result of this tactic, so it instituted deradicalization practices and jobs training for at-risk populations.

            The Western propaganda industry used images from South America and claimed they were forced labor in China (with Spanish signs visible in the background). They used early image generation to fill out a registry of “missing” people, except a lot of the images still had artifacts from generation (if you remember thispersondoesnotexist, they were almost identical to that) until they got deleted. They relied almost exclusively, for a time, on citations from Adrien Zens, a man who cannot speak or read Mandarin and claims he is chosen by God to bring about the downfall of China.

            China invited the UN to investigate. Dozens of countries investigated and found no evidence of genocide.

            We’ve seen the kind of evidence that modern genocide produces due to Israel’s actual genocide of Palestinians.

            So some westerners have walked back their invention from “genocide” to “situation”, while others continue to parrot the original disproven claims.

            So it’s not about trying to compare moral judgements, it’s a skepticism of any claims coming from a proven, proudly genocidal empire about its targets.

          “Brother” you just literally made 20 pro-Russia and Pro-China posts in less than half an hour in a mix of different communities, and now that someone answered to you, you instantly popped another one. Tell your boss to be more patient with the schedule he’s giving you, and pace the posts better, so it’s less obvious.

          Mao has been dead for decades

          And as a non-Westerner, if we are ranking leaders, I would like to mention Churchill and UK who killed more people with the Bengal famine.
          The Madras famine, Travancore famine too.
