okay well Western media isn't talking about it. I exclusively hear about this on lemmy from folks simping for China.

Fuck all empires, fuck the US, fuck China, fuck Russia. All have shitty to broken democracies and way too much centralized power.

What's the point of constantly defending China? If it was just a one time thing that's fine, but it happens nonstop around these parts.

No need to simp for China to be a communist

Of course Western media aren’t talking about it: it’s their job not to. They’re the ones pushing the “Uyghur genocide” narrative in the first place. Western media are the media of the capitalist class of the imperial core. The cold war(s)[1][2] and red scare(s)[1][2][3][4] never ended.

.
Your understanding of China is received wisdom from the imperial core’s governments, think tanks, and corporate media, so your criticisms of it are not reality-based. It’s fine to criticize anything & anyone—China included—but you must not talk nonsense.

Also, all this “simping” framing is tiresome. Historical materialists don’t subscribe to great man theory. We’re not known for simping, liberals are.
