Classifying parts of religion you don't like because you have to "combat terrorism" and assimilate your colonized population... where have I heard that one before...

Or you know, altering the building in a way it doesn’t crash on its worshipers i.e. renovating.

And making it look like a classic Chinese temple instead of an Uyghur one? Cultural preservation in full force.

You haven’t addressed even how the language and cultural practices aren’t banned.

Wearing a long beard? Terrorism!

I've also seen a few independent Youtubers who visited Xinjiang and were specifically told they were not allowed to fly their drones in that area contrary to the rest of China and the area was very heavily guarded. Example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHxzLogzqkU&t=2167s

Firefox cause the search bar is on the bottom

Cultural Genocide is not equal to full on literal israel style delete everyone you don't like. It is more similar to the French colonialism in Algeria (see imperialism) and their attempt to assimilate their subjects afterwards. Gradually ereasing a culture to 'enlighten' the population with le epic atheism.

Altering appearances of mosques to make them appear Chinese is an incredibly visually obvious step to slow-boiling the frog.

~2022; Xi Stresses Sinicization and Regulation of Religious Activities

Religious affairs in China should be regulated in accordance with the country’s socialist society, Xi said at the latest National Religious Affairs Meeting held in Beijing. Xi urged more nationalism, collectivism, socialism, and an improved understanding of history in the religious sector. He also emphasized the importance of the overall national security.

The religious sector should strengthen its self-education and management and should only conduct activities that respect laws and regulations, Xi said. China will also aim to ensure that party and government leadership have a sufficient understanding of Marxist religious views.

And if you don't know what "Marxist religious views" means I recommend the document you linked earlier it was quite evidently not too fond of religion.

Genociding Palestinians is truly the hard call that needs to be made. Can you explain how Hitler was a good guy next?

Democrats put in more effort to sue the green party than to prosecute Trump for Jan6. Uniparty forever.

Also messenger apps like Signal often have a setting to send higher quality (less compressed) videos which are bigger in size.

In signal it's Settings > Data and storage > Sent media qualify

Arguing on semantics is a liberals game. Anyway the last user claimed China was definitely not cracking down on Xinjiang so I linked him this damning compilation.

Haven't heard from him since.

Unless you're going to claim cultural Genocide is fine when China does it because they call their imperialism differently I don't really care for the argument.

Oh wow it's not even Albanese this time. Time for israel to call more people antisemitic.

So whenever we google something we should all type Lemmy after it for SEO boosting

This is an israel problem not a Netanyahu problem.

Also israel is not a Democracy it is an Apartheid.

I read a bit of the link and it was mostly mid mumbling that mentioned faults of China and then moved on as if addressing them solves them.

Then it proceeded to misdiagnose what greed is and pretend capitalism is a system designed around greed instead of greed being innate to humans.

Then I stopped because it doesn't answer any of the questions.

I'm not saying everything China does is bad, certainly to grow as superpower when the West tries to overthrow all competition is massive achievement. But people are all too willing to deny faults of China.

Your statement about China not having a financialist capital class seemed slightly out of touch so I provided you with examples of some Chinese capital class. Communism is when not billionaires. The more Billionaires you have to less communism it is.

As for the imperialism I only hear the same argument as for Western imperialism: someone drew lines on a map 200 years ago and it said Xinjiang and Tibet were part of China. So despite them speaking a different language it's now 100% ours for rizzle.

There is a common theme about these abominable stories in India, they almost always happen in Uttar Pradesh. It's like the Florida of India.

There's like 250 million people living there which is close to the population of the whole US, so statistically you're bound to get crazy stories.

China most definitely has billionaires in cahoots with the government. Evergrande is a great example of this. Asianometry did a great video on how deep it goes with receipts.

I've had two discussions with users about the Uyghur camps which were not able to address the base of my concerns. While they are definitely very exaggerated in size, the notion that they don't exist seems unfounded. Though I'm open for discussion on it.

Thanks for the heads up, I just saw the article pass by and found it interesting. I did check their source which is timesofindia. The source does contain everything mentioned in the article. Not sure how reliable timesofindia is as a newspaper though.

Will there even be a job left for Trump to finish

In this case the rulers are not listening to their constituents and being extremely corrupt. Meaning their constituents should stop supporting said rulers.

it’s not as simple as “the president” or “the party” can just stop a long term international set of contracts across industries and government agencies and departments.

It is called Leahy law, and the current president is actively violating the law by sending weapons to israel which uses them to commit war crimes.

There's definitely some users there who go too far in their support for other imperialist superpowers like Russia and China.

Because if America bad Russia and China good is an easy train of thought. Imperialism bad is a more difficult pill to accept.

But users there moreso question whether certain atrocities happened. They're not saying 'yeah the CCP is currently Genociding Uyghurs in concentration camps. but you have to vote for Xi Jingping to save Democracy'.

Occasionally I do find they have a point in the West exaggerating others crimes. I mostly started noticing this after Hamas supposedly beheaded 40 babies in ovens which our media blasted as fact without questioning it. Though other times there is usually a base of truth which is undeniable.

But admitting that your side is doing Genocide and still advocating for them comes off as far more insane to me than denying their crimes.

Most of the Lemmy.World users and mods are actively advocating to vote for Genocide, so i understand that Hexbear is a culture shock.

Leahy laws;

The Leahy Laws or Leahy amendments are U.S. human rights laws that prohibit the U.S. Department of State and Department of Defense from providing military assistance to foreign security force units that violate human rights with impunity. It is named after its principal sponsor, Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont).
