This is a stupid take. 70 years has passed since China's last military attack on a nation. 70 years. But sure, let's ignore history and view things from our fee fees.
China may be oppressive against those in its nation. But it's proven from decades of peace to not do anything like what you are saying.
uh I think it's actually quite a good comparison. The only way to "protect" them is to make them the enemy, like smoking weed. Which is a terrible idea and we shouldn't try to stop them from smoking weed in the first place.
I mostly agree, but India is never going to do China's bidding. India is playing both sides and getting as much as possible from each. The only difference is China understands this and will make it's successes look like India is siding with China. USA doesn't seem to understand this for some reason and well...
Yes, China censors actual kissing and physical contact in their LGBTQ films, however, that actually applies to straight films too. China just likes to censor things. However, it does not actively pick on LGBTQ.
The problem is the people, as per the article
Being gay is not illegal in China, At home, Wen said she regularly gets judgmental stares on the street for wearing her hair short like a man’s, and was once asked by her barber: “What happened to your life?”
Well that and MS is like a national champion in China. MS is one of the few companies to follow Chinese law and thus, Bing is the only foreign search engine allowed. MS is what China is hoping every other foreign company will emulate. So yeah, no way China is going to go after MS.
*Edit. Heck, MS is expanding in China even amidst the tech war because they love China so much.
What are you talking about, did you read what you quoted?
to provide a legal framework to recognise same-sex couples outside the institution of marriage
An adult with full capacity for civil conduct may, in prior consultation with his/her close relatives, or other individuals or organisations who are willing to act as his/her guardian, determine his/her guardian in writing
That's the legal framework that answer's the judge's positive obligation.
Thus, mainland has already created what the judge is telling HK they need to do.
Also what does this have to do with the west? I said HK is following the mainland, not the west.
It's saying HK needs recognition similar to what China already does with mutual guardianship. So your argument makes no sense. As HK is following China on this one.
They absolutely love it and are asking China to help them implement it in their own countries. What people don't understand is this isn't about stopping or oppressing the Islamic religion. What China is doing is turning the Islamic religion into a state controlled apparatus. They weren't destroying mosques, they were rebuilding them in China's image.
They didn't stop people from worshipping Allah, they made it so that if you worship Allah, you're also worshiping the CCP. For all of that, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are incredibly jealous. They too want the Islamic religion to become a state controlled enterprise. What China is creating is a state controlled religion. One that all the other Islamic states want a taste of. This is why Turkey is quiet on this. While part of NATO, Turkey wants a piece of that action too.
But why would more than half of Americans be financially free? Are more than half of all Americans already over 65 where they need to be financially free? If not, then it would be very odd that more than half would be close to financial freedom. It's an odd statement that makes you feel bad, but if you think about it, it would make no sense if it were true.
People like you: I don't care about history, we're different today and you should let us do what we want.
China: go fuck yourself.
And yet people like you are shocked that's what China tells you. China's been here for thousands of years, for China 200 years is recent history. It's cute that your people were starving though, hopefully that happens to you.
A bigger question is whether or not this is necessary to be a super power. There has never been a super power that did not do this. We can argue good or bad till we are blue in the face, but if it's a necessity, then it's going to happen. Even if the necessity is just to become a global dominant power.
An easier example to understand is selling military equipment that will absolutely be used in genocides. You can't be a super power if you don't sell advanced military equipment. Inevitably, some of those you sell to will be using it to murder journalists for reporting about the line.
So, yeah selling them those weapons is bad. But if you don't do it, someone else will. That someone else will gain inordinate amounts of power making sure your country will never be in power. So we sell, we sell it as we watch Palestinians burn.
Ah classic, your all for rule of law until there's an actor you don't like following rule of law. Suddenly the law should change just for them. Hypocrite.
Ten Chinese air force aircraft entered Taiwan’s air defence zone . . . Of those aircraft, the ministry said 10 had either crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, which previously served as an unofficial barrier between the two sides, or entered the southwestern part of Taiwan’s air defence identification zone, or ADIZ.
This is what the original post quoted. Flying over international air space is NOT news worthy. Unless China does it, suddenly it's news. And yes, in case you don't understand, the median line IS international air space. In fact, that's USA's whole point of freedom of navigation is that anyone can fly or sail over that median line.
So if your argument that countries shouldn't freely fly or sail over the Taiwan Strait, you agree with China, NOT Taiwan.
You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying the FCC currently cannot roll out other bands because their equipment doesn't work. Yes, they have plans to once the equipment works, but currently they're only rolling out mid-bands because that's all they have. Listing the FCC's failure doesn't change that the US hasn't been able to roll out the entire spectrum where as China did.
... you don't understand at all. I am not going to be able to explain it to you. There are no special spectrums. US equipment can only do mid band where as Huawei can also do high and low. That's the problem. There's no magic that you seem to think there is.
*Edit. Also this has nothing to do with how many towers there are. The towers near the airports were always there. Yet they interfered because USA can only do mid band. Had they been able to do low band there wouldn't have been issues.
So please tell me what country has China violently attacked in the last few decades to:
Just once.
