Funny because of the dozens, if not hundreds, of death threats I've gotten, practically all of them come from zionists, NAFOs, keyboard nazis or the occasional trumpeteer.
The newer hardware tends to usually have a longer lifespan. A 10-year old computer today is a 3rd or 4th gen Core i7, still decently powerful. A 10-year old computer 10 years ago was a Pentium 4, pretty much useless.
Same will apply to phones. I had an S5 that I bought in 2014 which by 2019 actually was getting too old, hobbled by it's paltry 2GB of RAM. Bought an S8 in 2019 which already was 2 years old and it's already outlived the S5 by almost 2 years. It's starting to show signs of age but will probably last at least another couple years. I'm expecting the S22/S23 Ultra to last into the 2030s.
Have you considered the possibility that people living in Fuzhou, Putian, Quanzhou, Xiamen and Zhangzhou (among many millions of others along the coast) don't want to have American nukes pointed at them a mere 200-300 kilometers away?
Also neither China, the US, the :international-community-1::international-community-2: or the rest of the world do not recognize Taiwan as independent. Only the :nato-cool: despite this, want to wrest Taiwan away to build a puppet state.
You might be shocked to realize that I was already well into adulthood in early 2014 when the Euromaidan took place - as in Obama with his shriveled fleshlight Joe Biden decided to stick their noses in Ukraine (on their way to Syria and Yemen of course) caught in 1080p because Yakunovich would hinder MIC's profits to put it simply.
The report is at best, "allegations" or "possible". Nothing's really definitive in it, as in no conclusive findings, yet it's supported by western (mostly American) anti-China hawks. So yes, it could be ignored. As for the first part,
CRH380A is a high-speed train in China.
Isnotreal is a specific Apartheid ethostate that is occupying and terrorizing Palestine.
pigpoopballs is that image of a pig with a turd on it's massive balls.
Was on the way home and in the time, some good responses already. But on my take: Much of the world, including Muslim-majority nations, support China's policies in Xinjiang and as predictable as posting pigpoopballs, the :international-community: "condemns" it. I think it's also very telling when Isnotreal suddenly comes out of the woodwork "condemning" China's actions in Xinjiang, literally while footage of Gaza getting bombed and journalists shot down is broadcast to every telly in Johannesburg.
Anyways, going through the UNHRC report, there is not one mention of "genocide", "forced labour" is merely followed by "allegations of" and there is a passage on China ratifying laws abolishing the practice a decade ago. Even allegations of "crimes against humanity" is an ambiguous "may". So in summary, it's merely allegations and no conclusive findings. There is a critique on the UN report (as well as other topics related to Xinjiang) available on Qiao Collective.
Oh yeah, Rushan Abbas, the self-proclaimed Uyghur refugee was a guard at Guantanamo Bay, where she literally tortured prisoners, including a few Uyghurs in the mix. She was sniffed out on a :reddit-logo: AMA 5 years ago and basically got steamrolled by a CRH380A Hexie made out of dicks.
I suppose the parallels to this being a shitty plagiarized version of "Iraq WMDs" from 20 years ago, conveniently involving a Muslim-majority province of China with known oil reserves above that of Iraq, major BRI routes running through it, deposits of lithium and other minerals, ETIM and ISIS activity (and known US involvement) until 2016, are all purely coincidental then?
Xinjiang was actually largely left behind and destitute until Xi Jinping became chairman in 2013. Widespread poverty and neighbouring Afghanistan under fire from US and UK bombings also didn't help matters. Since then, according to the Xinjiang White Papers, there is no metric suggesting anything resembling a genocide. Wages, life expectancy, literacy, living standards have all increased. There is plenty of Uyghur culture on display in China, a HSR connects Xinjiang to the rest of China from the city of Urumqi (though a route should be alao extended to Aksu and Kashgar IMO) and they still learn not only their Uyghur language, but Mandarin on top of that and job skills, allowing them to better integrate with society at large. Agruculture is also being mechanized throughout China, including in Xinjiang. The province is still one of the lower-income ones, but living is cheap and it has not been "poor" for several years now. I've heard people say that Xinjiang has the best food, so there's also that.
Oh and allegedly, the people in Xinjiang are among the most anti-West in China. If that's true, gee I can't imagine why...
so it's basically "Hitler's 1935 Nuremberg Rally Speech" translated into Estonian. Of course the only difference is people aren't calling to mass slaughter 300.000 here. Not yet anyways. 2014-22 now did not happen at all and people genuinely think Ukraine will be a prosperous, wealthy and powerful democracy. However, it will most likely be Hitluania or Natsvia who will build the first Bantustans.
Oh, and stay away from :reddit-logo:/eesti
Also anything remotely contrary to NATO narrative is immediately branded as "Kremlin propaganda" - Auschwitz was also called "Russian propaganda (like page 10 in Blackshirts & Reds)" but whatever ig
I've also since abandoned my more liberal take of "Russia was wrong to invade" and have shifted more Russia-leaning, along the lines of "Russia gave the post-coup government of Ukraine chances for 8 years - ceasefires, Minsk agreements, renounciation of joining NATO, deploying Western nuclear weapons and immediate halting of Apartheid policies against Russians in Crimea and eastern Ukraine - really basic, normal, reasonable demands. This war is not so much about whether it was right or wrong, but a response when all other options were exhausted".
