      Lol

      I respect the Chinese people, their modern advancements in science and technology, their industry, their customs, and their rich history and culture.

      I do not respect a hostile dictatorship that rules over them all, and if they were smart they would not, either.

        How do we stop the oligarchy ruling the USA without them ruining your life for going first?

          Vote in 60 dem senators and they’ll overturn Citizens United, limiting political donations, and they’ll tax the rich.

          No it’s a dictatorship by a small group that the rest of them are not in. It’s a dictatorship that demands the common people surrender all beliefs not sanctioned by the state, that demolishes holy sites, a dictatorship that forces minorities into labor camps. It’s a dictatorship that commits hostile takeovers of neighboring nations and allies itself with multiple other dictatorships.

              China actually vetoed a UN Ceasefire resolution in Gaza in March, so much for peace.

              Not to mention Chinese close friends and allies North Korea is constantly firing missiles into the ocean as a method of stick-waving at demilitarized Japan.

              Honestly weird that you think Uighur Muslims all need to go to rehab and work long unpaid hours until they die. Not how a normal human with empathy thinks, generally.

                The ceasefire resolution that didn’t free hostages held in Israel, enabled the IDF to indefinitely hold Gaza, and removed all self determination from gazans?

                Yes, even the Arab nations did not want that resolution, China, during the same sessions, called for an unconditional ceasefire.

                Lying about situations makes everything you have to say suspect.

                To your second point, you admit the US is committing genocide in Gaza. Right? We’re blaming countries for things their military allies do now, so the US is genocidal, according to you.

                To your third point less than 5% of the uighur population has ever been arrested, xinjiangs city council is mostly uighur Muslims, and no american gets to tell anthother country how to handle prisoners, given us prisons are worse than pretty much anywhere according to the UN, and the us arrests more minorities as a percentage of each minority population than China is claimed to have, much less the reality.

                  I’m sure those gazans are really enjoying all the extra freedoms they’ve had in the last 9 months. /sarcasm
