No UN report has ever found sterilization or organ harvesting happening in Xinjiang. Ever. At literally any point. There were unsubstantiated claims of that from the same people saying the suicide bombers were justified.

So you understand that the secessionist movement in Texas is a farce that never has majority support but despite that also being the case in Taiwan you don't believe it?
The independence party in Taiwan's local government never gets anywhere and has never had majority support. The current Taiwanese government does not support independence.
Also no. The last time Tibet was free that had institutionalized child sex slaves for members of their theocratic government. Those monsters should never be in power again, and now that their former slaves are free and members of a country that treats them equally, they agree.
It's just former aristocrats that again owned child sex slaves, like the dalai lama, that think tibet should be "free". But I guess it's only natural people from the country with no law against child marriages would support Tibets return to their old society.
Shhh, don't you know America was the perfect bastion of freedom until out of nowhere some racists spawned into existence in 2008 and then with those vile subhuman Russians brainwashed innocent Americans in 2016 to plunge this perfectly equitable democracy immediately into fascism which was single handedly defeated by the most progressive man to exist in the last 600 years, Joe Biden, until those filthy fucking ruskies teamed up with hundreds of millions of tankies to plunge our once great nation back into fascism?‽!
Not really. Again according to the UN report nothing China has done is special compared to just normal American prisons. Except fewer uighurs as a percentage of their population were ever imprisoned than just black men as a percentage of the total black population.
If what you believe happened in Xinjiang is genocide, America is currently commiting genocide on twice the scale for the past 120 years.
China has more mosques than the US, and Xinjiang is majority Muslim.
A) state capitalism isn't a thing. The vast majority of industries are just socialist. They exist without profit motive exclusively for the benefit of the Chinese people. The private sector industries interact with the outside world and make up less than 40% of GDP. It's why 'chinas house market collapsing' has made exactly zero people homeless and has caused exactly zero people to not have a job. The private luxury housing market collapsed, which makes up a tiny fraction of all housing, and mostly just exists for foreign investors.
B) China allows nonessential capitalist markets because capitalism is a required stepping stone of development in industry, and it makes imperialist powers like the US and eu far less invadey if they can make money off you.
C) it'd be great if China's goal was degrowth but that's not really fair, and that's simply not their goal. Their goal is a good life for every citizen, utilizing capitalism to build industries that later become nationalized, unionized, and by extension less wasteful.
The ussr proved you can't skip the wasteful capitalism stage of development, even if you provide an okay life you'll eventually get some asshole that sees America's array of twenty billion brands of cereal with the same ingredients and use that as some flimsy way of saying socialism sucks. That's why dengism has worked better than the ussrs approach, and why China's current approach is beating out every other country on growth, increase in quality of life, increase in education rates, while reducing the number of billionaires in society.
They're also the world leaders in fusion research, as well as the world leaders in solar, wind, and hydro generation both by current power supplied and new power installed.
They just have way more people than the entirety of the West combined and are aiming for complete elimination of poverty. They need all that power to achieve the lower middle class euro quality of life they want as a standard for their poorest.
So just another day?
Just starting to feel? Credit card debt reached new high by every measure under Biden, while consumer spending consistently declined and homelessness soared.
Don't get me wrong the shit economy has accelerated and the rich and middle class are finally feeling what the majority of Americans have been feeling for half a decade, but the economy has been shit. It's one of the main reasons Biden/Harris completely lost the trust of the lower class when they always bragged about 'the economy'.
For Texas, that's their choice. They actively choose that, and have the freedom to do so. The US isn't making them. They aren't oppressed.
As far as Taipei, in any group of people you'll always have some people complaining about something. There are fewer people pushing for an independent Taiwan than there is pushing for an independent Texas.
Yes. Lemmy is a collection of little dictatorships that all share the contents of their domains.
If you piss off someone, you'll be permabanned much quicker than even the bad site. The good part of this is you can just pick another instance and ignore that.
You will find communities and even entire instances that fundamentally disagree with your existence, no matter how benign and agreeable you are. It's good to just set up a few accounts to continue enjoying your time even when a random rich piece of trash finds an issue with you.
....i never claimed there was. I know English isn't your first language but I thought all you westerners had to learn it properly.
