Thank you for the link to the South China Morning Post, comrade.

Supporting the self-determination of Hong Kongers is imperialism and to avoid appearing racist we must support the government that has hired random street thugs to beat people up on trains for the crime of looking similar to a democracy advocate.

The tankies start sounding like colonialism apologia from the 1900s when they defend the Chinese governments actions in Xinjiang... and then the government responds to the allegations with a 'look at the singing, dancing Uyghurs' campaign across multiple social media platforms.
An approach that reminds everyone who knows their colonial atrocities of the kitschy cultural exploitation of the native Americans by forcing them to sing and dance for tourists.

I have a different issue with the "singy dancey" stuff.

It's that it's always trotted out with the CCP saying "These people aren't oppressed. Look, we LET them do their weird foreign ceremonial dancing. You over there! Come do the thing that because you are ethnic that means you love to do, and because we are benevolent, we ALLOW you to do. Do it on camera now, before we whisk the journalist away lest he ask any more questions or see the bruise marks from your shackles."

Because yay for traditional culture and all that, but for the average Uighur on the street, I bet he would appreciate being able to go to the mosque after playing soccer with his mates without fear of being beaten by the police, much more than doing a traditional dance that only his grandparents like.

Also, it's framed as though the CCP are so kind and open minded by allowing these people to do something that Han Chinese don't do. A "see we let you be different. Just so long as you are different over there, and not in a way that affects our stranglehold on political and cultural power."

I’ve always found mitigating the sock smell taste is the key to… well, not enjoying baijiu but tolerating it enough to get drunk. The gasoline taste is always gonna be there.

do the tankies know that just because something shows up in US propaganda doesn't mean the opposite thing is true? it's not like everything the CCP controlled press puts out is completely false either.

also lol at mansplaining who funds Radio Free Europe. maybe you need to inform the dullards in cspam of that fact, but everyone here knows that. D for execution, F for content.

They're completely thoughtless. The only thing that matters is adhering to a specific ideological purity by saying the right words, and making the right arguments again and again while they stare glassy-eyed at the screens of their $3000 monitors.

Hi everyone. I think this thread has a fairly good immune system as evidenced in the last few pages. However, due to outside interference in GBS China thread's internal affairs, the staff approached me to IK it after all the qualified posters turned them down (probably). I don't anticipate having to push buttons often, but someone on this very page has already asked for it very hard!

In all but the most egregious circumstances, any interventions will be in public or by PM before I take direct action or escalate to the staff. I'm not an expert on Chinese / East Asian culture by any stretch and my Mandarin is Duolingo garbage, so feedback is welcome. Please note that I can't see reports and I have a day job and hobbies that don't permit me to be Extremely Online, but I think I'm on here enough to make a difference.

Please:
-DO NOT be racist
-DO NOT dispute verifiable facts, like saying events extensively documented on film and by multiple first-hand accounts did not happen.
-DO feel free to post here regardless of where you post regularly. Everyone who has not already been previously thread-banned gets one free assumption of good faith.
