Human rights?
When fairly compared, yes absolutely.
What do you think of the human rights of the millions killed and deprived by the US and its allies on a near-constant basis?
Oh, that's right, that discourse doesn't even exist as the topic is framed exclusively in a racist and self-serving way. True Human Rights Violations only come from the nonwhite periphery region, everything else is just sparkling accidental collateral damage for Freedom and Democracy.
Do you think China is more human rights focused and/or less racist than anywhere else in the world?
Certainly compared to the settler imperial core responsible for virtually every war and the racist status quo of systemic deprivation. It is not a serious discussion to imagine otherwise.
I kind of already said that.
We are comparing the current state of countries, yes? Do you think Norway for example currently has an imperialist settler core?
What would you call China's ambitions regarding the nine dash line and Taiwan if not imperialist?
We are comparing the current state of countries, yes?
No because what I described is part of a systemic process and is ongoing, has precedent, and has its supporters for future depravity.
Do you think Norway for example currently has an imperialist settler core?
Norway is a subimperialist petrostate of the imperial core. It does the bidding of its masters. It is, primarily, irrelevant, but it does sometimes act as a hanger-on in militarism and it certainly loves to pump the price of oil, e.g. supporting American sanctions on Venezuela that CEPR estimated to kill tens of thousands yearly. But naturally, that skips Westerners' human rights discourse entirely, they pretend sanctions aren't civilian-targeted dispossession. In addition, Norway just uses loopholes to hide its role in weapons sales, including to Israel.
What would you call China's ambitions regarding the nine dash line and Taiwan if not imperialist?
Getting off-track, aren't you? Or in your mind would you declare any imperialism you can find a human rights violation? If so, hoo boy is my thesis correct.
I'll entertain those two questions when they can be seated coherently, I.E. we have resolved the actual topic and can discuss what imperialism is, as those questions suggest you don't know.
No because what I described is part of a systemic process and is ongoing
So it is comparing the current state, yes? Taking into account how history shapes it sure, but the current state.
You'll need to do more to connect oil why pricing oil is racist. Because it competes with other countries like Venezuela?

I already answered, "No".

I didn't say that pricing oil is racist.

Pushing for sanctions from the superpowee is a funny thing to call competition.
Please do your best to engage in good faith by reading and addressing what I say. At least, if you're going to respond. This last response was mostly reading incomprehension, which normally, sure, no biggie, but the amount you didn't respond to in order to do that? No bueno.
What would you call China’s ambitions regarding the nine dash line and Taiwan if not imperialist?
holy shit crack a history book
like literally learn the first fucking thing about the situation
Unlike wetreners, Chinese do have real human rights, like right to housing, education, food, and healthcare.
Have you seen Europe? And how about freedom of expression?

So people like you can have the illusion of freedom. Speech that cannot be translated into tangible action is not freedom. The people in the west have the freedom to scream into the void, but not the freedom to change their conditions. Anybody who can't tell the difference between the two is so very lost.

Literally yes read Chinese papers. Comradely criticism is like Marxism 101
All news media run by the Party must work to speak for the Party’s will and its propositions and protect the Party’s authority and unity
They should enhance their awareness to align their ideology, political thinking and deeds to those of the CPC Central Committee and help fashion the Party’s theories and policies into conscious action by the general public while providing spiritual enrichment to the people

Okay now use your words and brain to explain what you just quoted and why it's a problem
Taking the quote completely at face value:
So it's now censorship of freedom of expression if the state is not actively sponsoring, advertising, and distributing criticism of itself? I should try writing to NPR about how we need a proletarian party controlling the government so I can say that they've "censored" me when they obviously don't invite me on to talk about it.
Yes I do, and the fact that Chinese system has shown itself to be flexible and adaptable is proof of that. A system can only evolve effectively when it can be criticized in a way that lead to action. That's how change happens. Western systems are the ones where effective free expression is forbidden, and that's why they've ossified and the ruling class no longer even pretends to care about public opinion.
European journalists are getting raided and arrested for covering the genocide in Gaza.
