this really doesn't sit well with me because "never again" and "do something" were the same kinds of protestations being made during Aleppo in 2016, and it feels like the same kind of slimy liberal-humanitarian call for interventionism

does that make sense? I feel like I'm going crazy here because it's not like I'm denying that China could very well be treating its Uighur population badly, but what's "the rest of the world" supposed to do? airdrop Seal Team Six into Xinjiang?

there's no real evidence that's the reason why aside from media conjecture. there's a limited number of hollywood movies allowed each year and this season is already super packed with holdover releases from the summer like ant man and mission impossible. disney stores sell winnie the pooh dolls here for god's sake. stop watching john oliver

the pooh stuff in general is definitely the cpc not understanding the streisand effect but bureau chiefs were 100 percent sitting on drafts of these stories just waiting for the movie to not get a china release for whatever reason. now they get to run their speculation and watch it get passed around as gospel.

the stories themselves can't cite a source that confirms what they're claiming. they say so, in the stories. i know it's hard for you to read words longer than eight letters and paragraphs longer than three sentences but give it a try sometime.

If you think about it, why would an ethnic minority advocacy group complain about mistreatment at the hands of a famously repressive government? That makes no sense. The only logical explanation is that the whole thing is a Western psy-op.

John olivebwar says that China is bad and the West is mostly good and corporations are ok if you spank them after they dump carcinogenic sludge in the river but it’s also bad to slap them before they dump sludge

It wouldn't be entertaining to do that to me because I admit America is hosed up and imperialist whereas Homex will generally do anything to avoid admitting that about China
