I really don't even get actively hating china in that way. Lets assume that everything Adrian Zenz says is true, even in that case what value is there in hyper-focusing on China, which we as citizens in the west have no ability to control, vs something like Israel, Saudi Arabia, or some other country committing serious human rights abuses while receiving unholy amounts of US aid. It's like the next level of "making up a guy to be mad at," but it's even better because this guy country actually exists. Like, what the gently caress are they even thinking when they criticize china for hours on end? Is it some kind of escapist fantasy, "Oh god, if I were there in the streets fighting for Freedom for Hong Kong with the rest of them," some kind of desire to be a part of some fight for justice against tyranny? Do they just want to be mad at China just because they like being mad, and being mad about injustice makes them feel like they are good people? Because I get that, but hell even I recognize that it's masturbatory unless I actively try and do something about it.

Like, imagine if Zenz wasn't just an unhinged evangelical who hates communism and who was just exaggerating everything that he's saying with the help of the US state department in order to push US interests abroad, even if everything that he was saying was 100% true, what could you even do about it compared to pushing for an end to military aid to Israel because of their active attempts to ethnically cleanse the West Bank, or pushing for an end to US backing of the dictatorship in SA. These are things that the west can actually do, we just aren't.

note that I'm not talking about natsec ghouls who are pushing anti-china sentiment vs how they aren't pushing anti-SA sentiment. I get them, they're just evil.

Whites really dislike non-whites.

Chinese people are always surprised and confused by this style of Anglosphere thinking because they don't understand/comprehend how the entire Anglosphere worldview revolves around a made up 1920s notion of race.

1) a lot of westerners have their identities tied up in western europe and american liberal hegemonic dominance over the rest of the world, and they are growing increasingly insane that china is ascending

Outside of a couple places on the internet every China discussion ends up that way.

They will always preface their statements with something like "I don't hate the Chinese people, I hate the CPC" and then say something like "yeah Chinese people's skull sizes are 2.3% smaller than white peoples' so they don't have brain capacity to understand that you should be nice to one another".

The US doesn't not care the Muslims in the northwest part of China, they only care because its a geopolitical issue they can leverage in the global anti China narrative. Consider this, the west has not said a loving thing about the Muslims killed in Kashmir by the India police, nor the anti Muslim CAA law.

Want more examples? BBC/CNN/western media has published 1000 news item about the Rohingya in Myranmar, they have not said anything about the other ethnic minority genocides in other part of Myanmar. The Karen in the Thai border and the Kashin and Kokang minorities in the north. Not a single thing. Only media who has said anything about the Karen and the Kashin is Al Jazeera. Why doesn't the west (and the brain washed morons on twitter) say anything about the Karens? who are even Christian and suffer genocidal tactics for about a decade earlier than the Rohingyas get any attention? because it doesn't suite the US need to use it as a geopolitical hot button issue to turn a political party inside Myanmar.

This whole factory of Adrian Zenz is US State Dept playing 5D chess.

The main reason I stop reading the GBS thread and unsubscriped. There are lot of other casual nearly as dumb generalizations like "XX area of China have terrible taste in beer" etc.

In fact, it drove me to make china-topic discourse mainly in China language forum, now that I think about it.

I think it’s dishonest to frame the one/two child policy as genocide because its intent isn’t to destroy a group of people. It’s a population control measure, that has arguably allowed China to develop a better standard of living faster than otherwise. Obviously it’s extremely invasive, especially if forced sterilization is involved (I admit I don’t know if it is or not), but in any case its intent is clearly not to destroy the Han population, or any population of China.

Population planning, a common practice around the globe.

Especially common in poorer countries where high birth rates paired with uneven economic development affect quality of life for the citizenry.

Admittedly china's two child policy is the most expansive form of population planning, but it's also been by far the most successful at lowering the birth rate. :shrug:

Ardennes

Admittedly, there is an argue to be made that if anything it went too far and now the PRC has to pretty rapidly move in a different direction. That said, there is a case to be made that China's policy just was very invasive in everyday lives even through there was a coherent rationale behind it.

As far as Deng, I would say he was taking lessons from Asian Tiger economies, but the willingness of state socialist societies to actively work with the Western financial institutions and corporations long-predates him. Most of Leninism (and by extension Maoism to a large extent) was always pragmatic when it came to day to day economic management, the emphasis was on the control of the vanguard party. It was always about "trust us we know what we are doing."

It is why there was such a hard split with orthodox Marxists early on.

Compare China to India's population planning wherein the state merely offers incentives for sterilization and they're still struggling to lower the rate today.

As a result of their slower method many more rural indians live in absolute squalor with little access to contraceptives or abortion, in comparison to the Chinese.
