i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world
iirc you actually do get factions in or outside the party who are mad that han chinese are restricted as they are and want more pro natalist policies/fewer restrictions on the han population. they probably don't go so far as like, FDR grousing about racial suicide though

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.

To be fair, All states outside of the BIMARU states have reasonably controlled birth rates. Bangladesh has done a good job as well.

Yeah this seems to be the main point of contention - when does what the CPC is doing cross the line from "very bad" to "Genocide bad"?

are hongkongers learning mandarin in school suffering a genocide too?

we've run out of political vocabulary, or maybe nothing is 'really bad' until it's 'genocide bad' and only rivals to the USA can do the genocide bad things

mandated family planning isn’t genocide, encouraging children to learn Mandarin in school isn’t genocide, even doing reeducation on (a militant subset of) an ethnic and religious minority isn’t genocide.


certain policies or their implementation can be bad and worthy of criticism without being genocide

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.

"My own concern is primarily the terror and violence carried out by my own state, for two reasons. For one thing, because it happens to be the larger component of international violence. But also for a much more important reason than that; namely, I can do something about it. So even if the U.S. was responsible for 2 percent of the violence in the world instead of the majority of it, it would be that 2 percent I would be primarily responsible for. And that is a simple ethical judgment. That is, the ethical value of one’s actions depends on their anticipated and predictable consequences. It is very easy to denounce the atrocities of someone else. That has about as much ethical value as denouncing atrocities that took place in the 18th century." -Chomsky

to be clear, if someone comes in here saying that the PRC is doing mass sterilization of Uyghur women, and that that constitutes a genocidal act, that's not the same as a policy of people, in general and regardless of their ethnicity, getting IUDs either as a voluntary measure, or as a penalty for having violated the two-child policy

I'm not even going to argue that the latter isn't objectionable, but it's far-and-away different from the original claim, and people should recognize when the goalposts are getting moved

Google "Rajiv Gandhi population control" if you want to know how Indira Gandhi's government actually ran into villages and grab men to do forced sterilization. It's actually way more unpopular in India because any government intervention of birth rate change Hindu/Muslim population ratio, thus election representation in regional level.

The Indians are still very touchy about subjects in this area, look up the whole "love jihad" controversy last year, which is basically the Hindu nationalists dog whispering to their voters the fear of Muslim "secretly converting our women!"

Speaking of birth rates, this map has a lot of data (I don't know where they got the NK numbers but these numbers look correct.)

Fertility Rate in SubDivisions In South, Southeast, and East Asia


I simply think all east asian countries have the same industrialized > GDP growth > low birth rate trajectory, with only exception being Vietnam, they still need to prove they can industrialize first.

Regarding the greater Asia area, the most relevant factor to the birth rate is probably GDP per capita but I haven't found a map that shows the GDP in provincial and city level.

people tend to forget that the US still has one of the highest TFRs in the developed world when they try to make arguments about China's rise - if you think the US military is struggling with enlistment numbers, lol at the PLA/N being an attractive place to work given the PRC's demographic crunch

the US has an abhorrent immigration policy but compared to the rest of the world has the ability to integrate foreigners and people of other ethnicities as "Americans" regardless whatever the rightwing says. East Asian countries including China has no cultural norms around that - lol, if you think there's any real movement in recognizing foreign immigrants as "Chinese"
