my parents are hong kong born and bred, but don't live there any more. hearing the CHUD excuses of "protesters shouldn't damage property", "if that police attacked a person, he must've done something wrong" and "why can't they protest peacefully" in chinese is just so depressing and frustrating. i've always heard stories about americans going to thanksgiving with racist uncles or whatever, this is probably the first time i've lived it. almost had a giant fight, but we had to just agree not to talk about it. i did manage to get across why the original extradition law was a problem though i'm pretty sure my mum is sulking that i wouldn't let any of her dumb reasoning go unchallenged. in closing, it's a good thing this dumb planet is exploding

Antonymous posted:When asked "Which international relationship has the greatest effect on China?" 47.5% of respondents said "USA" which I guess is the lowest they've polled ever but still a clear #1 that first question is about which has the most effect, not which they like the most? how does the conclusion follow from the question

Antonymous posted:"对中国影响最大的双边关系" is the first question and at least literally that means 'which bilateral relationship has the greatest influence on China' and it was multiple choice, 47.5% said USA-China relations. yeah, so why are you using the first question to draw any conclusions that china's people like america doesn't the last question results going from 7.5% to 2% show that they don't crepeface has issued a correction as of 06:34 on Jan 26, 2021 |

so you mean spergin morlock was right and 7.5% -> 2% shows that trump damaged america's reputation? i'm still very confused that you posted an article that seems to contradict your pointSpergin Morlock posted:trump helped do some serious damage to all of that though lol Antonymous posted:Chinese people like Americans & America so much more than Americans like Chinese people or China.

there's so much anti-china propaganda out there that suffuses the media it's nearly impossible to break through it without laying down months of ground work outlining new world order conspiracy sounding poo poo. spent half an afternoon trying to explain this poo poo to some friends and it's so depressing how "china bad" is just baked into every argument/evidence. so drat thankful for poo poo like radio war nerd and the gray zone and even c-spam or i think i would be even more depressed about this topic.

Zedhe Khoja posted:Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan both need outside assistance to build projects like this. Every piece of ex-soviet infrastructure they keep is one more thing they don't have to beg China/Russia/USA for. And, while water is increasingly a conflict point in the region, this doesn't really change the water reserves the respective sides control, and Tajikistan is currently the least worried about water reserves since they both control the least amount of Ferghana farmland and the most amount of Ferghana water. On paper they're swimming in uh, water. Despite this there's huge issues with water distribution and tons of people are water insecure due to a lack of infrastructure. hmm, thanks! gradenko_2000 posted:sorry, apparently it's actually 50 cent army. it's a reference to how people suspect that China has an army of internet posters to defend it online, and that they're paid 50 cents per post everyone who's trying to point out the warmongering propaganda against our largest trading partner in the auspol thread is getting called a tankie or a paid shill lol. crepeface has issued a correction as of 09:42 on Apr 30, 2021 |

quote:As for Ulygurs claiming it's all good. Paul Rassinier was a prisoner at Buchenwald and denied the holocaust saying he never saw any Jews being killed. They tested poison and firebombs at his camp, on the prisoners, amongst other things. Why should I believe this? Of course there will be deniers from within. Have you looked at modern Chinese history? I actively studied it academically. They are really good at getting you to change your mind and say what they want. the perfidous celestial... his instructable ways will move your tongue and give voice to words not your own. millions of uyghurs in the region and every single one that's says there's nothing going on is lying

^ yeah, i've been a little hopeful lately when i see the comments on a news article/report laugh at adrian zenz, even in sinophobic places like reddit political subs but every now and then i just see people who dug the gently caress in, even when you show them muslim majority countries have said nothing's going on. also, sorry i keep posting these but it's just unbelievable to me: quote:My point is that the Australian government is good for calling out a nation-state for committing genocide against its people. Your point is that you like money in your bank account. One is legitimately relevant to the thread, the other is, I assume, fat stacks of blood money in your wallet.

that's fair. when someone said they believed in the claims because china refuses to open up the region to outside observers, i got caught up in showing all the international diplomats (not just muslim, but i wanted to get that in there) that have already been.

sorry i know this is days late, but i'm just catching up on a bunch of threads, but someone posted this as a response in the c-spam auspol thread: Centusin posted:i know there's no point in saying this but typically people celebrate Eid al-Fitr by praying inside or outside of mosques not dancing outside of them so I would say that video shows no footage of anybody actually properly celebrating Eid. It's almost like they couldn't record footage of people performing Salat or reciting Takbir because it didn't happen just incredible

ToxicAcne posted:Do people in China actually identify as Han or is regional identity a thing. Like Fujianese, Cantonese, and Mandarin are as different as Bengali, Gujarati and Hindi right? not entirely sure what's like in the motherland, but my impression is that it's largely regional. people forget china is about as big as the EU and until, recently, didn't have a tonne of domestic travel. I literally have han in my name but I'm probably only half han by blood quantum?!?! people largely think of themselves as 'chinese' first, because the cultural touchstones are fairly common (common roots in confucianism probably) I think the easiest analogy would be in the way people in the US are just 'white american'. like you might be 62% Irish or german or whatever, but it's just an interesting sidenote rather than a defining characteristic.

stephenthinkpad posted:The Covax program is essentially the western countries paying money to India private vaccine pharma to produce vaccines, and distribute to the poor countries and get credit for the good will. And the price is cheap $3-5 dollars per doses when the fancy Pfizer/Moderna vaccine has not delivered any doses to Covax. They have been selling the mRNA vaccines to the developed countries who can afford them. Now, why would the Indian make low ball $5 vaccines for Covax when China has been selling their vaccine for $10-40 per doses? They sure got a sucker deal. https://twitter.com/EmmanuelMacron/status/1386355283841200131?s=20 i think covax is primarily eu, who are at least pretending to care about the rest of the world. the us are just fygm (except they can't even bribe their own populace to take the vaccine).  thank u president xi. crepeface has issued a correction as of 04:13 on Jun 3, 2021 |

lol bertrand russell (big king dick math/logic pioneer) wrote a book The Problem of China in the 1920s (which, despite the title, is extremely complimentary of China, he basically thought China would be the future) and he thought one of the primary reasons differences between china and the west's historical trajectory was that greek mathematics didn't make it there. also russell is kinda baller. quote:In 1962 Russell played a public role in the Cuban Missile Crisis: in an exchange of telegrams with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, Khrushchev assured him that the Soviet government would not be reckless.[170][171] Russell sent this telegram to President Kennedy: quote:In September 1961, at the age of 89, Russell was jailed for seven days in Brixton Prison for "breach of peace" after taking part in an anti-nuclear demonstration in London. The magistrate offered to exempt him from jail if he pledged himself to "good behaviour", to which Russell replied: "No, I won't." quote:In the King's Birthday Honours of 9 June 1949, Russell was awarded the Order of Merit,[164] and the following year he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.[75][90] When he was given the Order of Merit, George VI was affable but slightly embarrassed at decorating a former jailbird, saying, "You have sometimes behaved in a manner that would not do if generally adopted".[165] Russell merely smiled, but afterwards claimed that the reply "That's right, just like your brother" immediately came to mind. recommend the linked book btw, really interesting to get a perspective from a big shot in the 1920s that didn't just view china as place to be exploited or feared and there are handy chapters you can skip to.
