      Often times. Most of the bad things you’ve heard were probably made up anti-China propaganda.

        Uyghur Genocide

        Violating the sovereignty of Taiwan

        Unprovoked attacks on boats in nearby international waters

        Lying about being communist.

        Which of these are made up?

          It’s a while ago but you missed one of their earlier genocides, that is still ongoing, in Tibet.

          Now also sabotaging European infrastructure. And previously, ehm - COVID (though no one knows how much blame they deserve for that).

            I’m frankly willing to give China a pass when it comes to COVID, unless one of the crazy conspiracy theories turn out to be true. I don’t really think it’s good to hold China to fault on a disease that happened to emerge from within their boarders, regardless of the circumstances that made it more likely to happen there in specific.

              My joke conspiracy theory is that it actually originated in the US, just like Spanish Flu, and we managed to infect people in Wuhan before it spread much in some almost unpopulated state like Wyoming, and then we let China take the blame.

              I’m joking, I hope.

            The sabotaging European infra is actually 3 Russians in a Chinese coat

          Uyghur Genocide

          Point to the community in Xinjiang that looks like Gaza City

          Violating the sovereignty of Taiwan

          Imagine China encircling Puerto Rico with its navy, then complaining about the US violating its sovereignty.

          Taiwan has been contested territory for centuries. The US attempting to colonize it doesn’t reflect poorly on China.

          Lying about being communist.

          Americans can’t decide if China is bad because Communist or bad because Not Communist Enough.

              Americans will butcher tens of thousands of people on the opposite side of the China/Afghan border, accuse you of genocide, and say exactly this when they’re called on their bullshit.

                You understand the list of things China did was a response to the insane comment that most of the bad things we heard of were made up. Do you think they’re made up? If not, then you most likely don’t have anything meaningful to say about the topic at hand.

                  Do you think they’re made up?

                  Exaggerated and embellished to the point of absurdity in order provoke a Red Scare and justify a new war.

                  most likely don’t have anything meaningful to say

                  You’re buying the same lies that lead us into Iraq.

            Taiwan doesn’t aim to be a US colony. They aim to be independent.
