For years, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has pushed ethnic minority groups like Tibetans and Uyghurs to adopt an identity rooted in Chinese nationality and allegiance to the ruling Communist Party.
Now, that push has been codified into a sweeping new law that reaches into classrooms, neighborhoods and homes – and gives Beijing the right to target people outside of its borders that it believes violate its rules.
The statute, officially known as the Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law, came into effect on July 1. It bans acts that “undermine ethnic unity or create ethnic division” among China’s 56 officially recognized ethnicities, which include a Han Chinese majority that makes up over 90% of the country’s 1.4 billion people.
Show me where I’ve sourced CNN or Fox once in this conversation.
This post is from CNN and you’re rallying behind it like it’s your big brother. Don’t try to argue semantics here, man. Just own it. Are you one of those leftists who hate socialism and still think America should be the “World Police”?
We can cut the chase here and just answer this simple question: If forced to choose one to be the role model for the world, the one under the global spotlight, which one do you think would give us a better world? China or the USA? No other choice, imagine you only had those two. Which one would you choose? If you answer that, you will easily show us who you are, if you truly care about the truth and the people as you imply.
I’m not playing into your false dichotomy.
I knew you couldn’t show an example because you’re imagining reason to get upset about.
So, your answer is obviously the USA, no? You really think the USA is still a better place than China. Great. Goodluck with that stance in the next decade. You better learn Mandarin, brother. There’s a reason the rich in your country are doing that.
Dude, I already told you this post is from CNN and you are defending it. That is no different from promoting it, or using it as a source. You are defending an argument made by CNN, that’s reason enough to be upset about, because their messages have gotten millions of innocent people killed. As I said, Mexico keeps losing 30,000+ people to gun violence thanks to people who blindly support claims made by your media without digging a little further at all. Not even two scraps on the dirt with your nails. You just read the headline and that’s it, you think it’s 100% “correctly true.”
You will never have real conviction or passion for what you fight for, because you’ve never been as close to Death as we have. I have seen you in Lemmy for like 2 years now, when Reddit banned APIs. You have a reputation here for being disruptive or controversial, but I never expected you to be like this.
I didn’t give you an answer because the real world is more complicated and nuanced than the question you asked.
Again you’re just making up reasons to be mad at me.
You made a big claim, that China is committing genocide, and you refuse to answer why or prove it. You made me go and read the goddamn law, because I am genuinely curious to see if it has holes that can be abused to kill or commit cultural genocide, but I found contradictions, which you’re refusing to address, and instead reply like a child.
The question is meant to show if you’re capable of measuring something as simple as evil vs good at its basic level. The fact you’d choose USA to be the influence of the world tells me you still have a lot to learn about it. It also shows if all this hatred for China is fake or not. If it’s a dick-measuring contest instead of genuine activism.
You just proved that you don’t really care about the things you preach. You are the lazy one not writing enough about something so important like genocide and the lives of thousands. You probably think people who write paragraphs like me are “schizos” or mentally ill. I keep getting those replies every time I talk about these things, including something as important as the genocide in Gaza. People would literally respond like you, “wow, that’s super lazy,” “the world is more complicated than that,” “you are making shit up just to hate Jews”… You can’t do justice to these things with one or two sentences like you’re doing it.
I didn’t choose either because while China is genocidal America isn’t being its best self right now either.
Again this is something I’ve never said but you’re making up to get mad at me about.
I do believe that part of effective communication is being short and concise.
Effective at wasting time, yeah. Still refusing to prove how China is genocidal.
Thank you. It is people like you that make me support China more than the USA, despite its flaws. That won’t stop me from criticizing it, but, to see so many of you handling these topics like this, no thank you.
Calling China genocidal, and America “not at its best right now” lmao. Insane subliminal whitewashing. Dude. Prove to us that you actually care about the truth and the people and tell us if you agree with this or not: “America’s government is a terrorist. America and Israel are genocidal and have been for decades while successfully gaslighting most of their populations about it.”
I have spoken to Chinese people, and they disagree with you on that, about communication having to be short and concise. They always show the attention and care to give you a complete full answer that addresses as much as they can, because the topic merits it, we are talking about genocide. It deserves more respect than some stupid ass childish replies like “wow thats the laziest argument ive seeen” or cheap gotchas like “show me where did I source CNN” while defending a CNN talking point, lol.
You were never short and concise with anything of value. You only repeated yourself and kept calling China genocidal without really proving it. The UN doesn’t even agree with you the same way it does about Israel or Ukraine. So, who are you doing this for, really? It only appeals to the MAGA and Blue-MAGA crowds, literally.
Are you going to address the part where you are making up things to be mad at me about?
