Can I ask for clarification on the concentration camp thing? Are they or are they not a thing?

We know they're concentration camps because China hired Erik Prince to build a few.

I mean yeah the weaponization of human rights violations by the West against governments they don't like is absolutely a problem and mainstream media's attempts at boosting the profile of the the Uighur so-called concentration camps to create some kind of plausible pretense for interventionism is not great

"plausible pretense for interventionism" lmao yeah i'm sure america's shadow government is itching to go to war with the nuclear power that makes all their stuff

*runs into the thread*

as someone who dated a girl from Xinjiang and had a lot of sex with her and learn a little bit of ئۇيغۇر تىلى, I also feel like I should be able to comment on this very important topic

my comment is, Xelkelvos is correct. that spelling is correct.

thank you for respecting my positionality, carry on

On a technical level the original Unreal engine is still pretty impressive. Deus Ex is still more interactive than most AAA games today.

Yeah but it still looks like poo poo and the delivery of the dialogue is questionable. It’s too bad the remake was rear end.

Tree plantations displacing native forests: The nature and drivers of apparent forest recovery on former croplands in Southwestern China from 2000 to 2015

e: you'll have to copy and paste the last one because SA mangles sciencedirect links for some reason. extremely displeased that lowtax's website is not delivering on this vital forums feature

tl;dr: the 'reforestation' is almost entirely plantations for trees like fruit and rubber, native forests have actually shrunk in some regions. shockingly, ian the lanyard tankie does not appear to know what he is talking about

edit: If I was Taiwan, there's two things I would do to make a PRC invasion virtually impossible. Develop nukes (or get to the point of still being nuclear weapons-free, but able to put together a nuke in a week, like Japan), and invite the US to put bases in Taipei, Taichung, and/or Kaohsiung.

that assumes that the US wants to set up bases in Taiwan to begin with. while i'm sure the DMV goon crew is up for more colonial misadventure, I doubt Ma and Pa Midwest would be thrilled to have their children serve as meatshields in yet another country
