In late October, Israel signed on to a joint statement of concern with more than 50 other governments about alleged Chinese crimes against humanity in its predominantly Muslim Xinjiang region.
LMAO
China is fundamentally opposed to any Israeli military operations, even in self-defense
Thanks for admitting you were being dishonest about his condition. China is not a dictatorship. You have no idea how their system works. There are committee elections at all levels where delegates are selected by the people (with tiers leading to the NPC), and the CPC (~1 in 10 eligible as members) leadership is determined by democratic centralism with elections at party committees and congresses up to the Central Committee.
I'm not denying the holocaust, your denying another genocide!
It's not a genocide. Not only has nobody been killed (except by the US-backed terror attacks), Uyghur culture is uplifted in the media and on the ground. People have to rely on the shoddy research [1] [2] of a bigoted Christian nationalist that works for a US government foundation started by Nazi collaborators (Zenz), awful reports by the BBC where they are let into education facilities and openly distort information, and numerous NED-funded orgs or MIC thinktanks whose evidence amounts to nothing.
Regarding the former, Adrian Zenz and James Mulvenon (former member of the U.S. state adjacent Council on Foreign Relations and member of the National Committee on United States - China Relations, which along with the Defense Group Inc.—of which he is vice-president–provides military policy planning and assessments to the United States Government) affirmed some anonymously leaked ICIJ “China Cable” Documents, one of which is a top-secret telegram which the ICIJ describes as:
“...from the Communist Party commission in charge of Xinjiang’s security apparatus. The telegram, written in Chinese, is an operations manual for running the mass detention camps. It is marked ‘secret’ and was approved by Zhu Hailun, then deputy secretary of Xinjiang’s Communist Party and the region’s top security official.”
Clearly what we have here is a document meant for only the highest levels of the bureaucracy, one which will divulge the actual thought process and rationale behind re-education policy, and cannot be construed as propaganda.
The document begins with a set of guidelines for running the facilities. First is “[to] ensure that the training venue is absolutely safe].” The guidelines follow:
“It is strictly forbidden for police to enter the student zone with guns, and they must never allow escapes, never allow trouble… never allow food safety incidents and major epidemics, and they must ensure the training center is safe and free of risk”
"Through letter writing, phone calls, video chats, visits, meetings, etc., establish a mechanism for students and relatives to interact with each other, to that the ensure students will have a phone conversation with their relatives at least once a month, to make their family feel at ease and the students feel safe."
"...every effort should be made to fix employment work for completed graduates to ensure the smooth development of students with employment aspirations. For those who don't have the ability to work and have difficulties in life, it is necessary to coordinate grassroots organizations to seriously carry out assistance and relief work, and effectively solve practical difficulties."
There are further notes on strict time management, preventing earthquakes and fires, and also measures to surveil all areas. These seem comparable to prisons, which is in line with the highest facilities being reserved for radicalized terrorists (bulletin No. 20 deals with those spreading violent propaganda / those who have joined terrorist organizations). When considering that the United States promoted terrorist radicalization in Xinjiang, such things lose isolation. The document outlines a very strict process, but one not mentioning forced anti-religious practices such as consuming pork or alcohol [The Independent 29 May 2018], organ harvesting [Falun Gong cult allegations], forced labor [U.S. Dept. of Labor], or physical abuse/torture (again, we cannot make a case of propaganda, because these are again purportedly top-secret documents).
Holy nonsense. The same Dalai Lama (THE Tibetan spiritual leader) has been alive since the liberation of Tibet, you don’t even know what you’re conveying. Also how can you say the child was imprisoned for life when we don’t know his whereabouts? His naming as the Panchen Lama was outside of customs and China may have taken him out of the situation so he couldn’t be exploited.
We’re not going to fix racism ever as long as the US exists as a settler-colonial state that keeps the majority of black people in worse conditions and imprisons them en masse. It’s not about rhetoric.
I still find that a lot easier to swallow than the GOPs constant tactics of direct voter suppression though
Don’t you get it? The Democrats are elevating Republicans so that they can do and campaign for these exact things which then motivates you to vote for the “lesser evil.”
When was racism not normalized in the US? Wrt abortion, as I’m sure you know it was democrats who refused to codify Roe v. Wade and made it all the more easy for it to be torn down, Biden in the first place openly stating he’s not in favor of “abortion on demand.” The reason it wasn’t codified, though, is that it then couldn’t be used as a campaign strategy by the democrats in future elections. As I said earlier in the thread under this post, it’s well-known that Hillary and the DNC attempted to elevate Trump in the GOP as preferred opposition as well as democrats more recently funneling millions of dollars into the election campaigns of Republicans who deny the validity of the 2020 election results because this makes for what they believe is easy competition. It feels ridiculous to have to mention as well that Roe v. Wade was repealed under Biden’s presidency, and if Biden doesn’t have the power to reverse this then what are you campaigning for?
Biden just signed into law higher tariffs on green energy products produced in China (where the vast majority are produced) in order to restrict supply and keep up the price of solar panels, EVs, and semiconductors in the US. Biden is building the same border wall Democrats were calling Trump a fascist for demanding in 2016, and expanding the immigrant concentration camps to boot. There's also the proxy war in Nazified Ukraine where Ukrainians are thrown into the meat grinder for the MIC and the exhaustion of Russia's resources, the continuation of global US military occupation and debilitating murderous sanctions on the DPRK, Cuba, Iran, and Venezuela. I fail to see where Trump is significantly worse.
but in 2020 there was no way I was going to give up even one vote against Trump.
Democrats support Trump and the like in the GOP to have propped up extreme opposition and make you think it's your own idea to vote for them as the "lesser evil."
He's been outspokenly against the war against Afghanistan if you watch Boy Boy's video and was simply opposing what he thought was the scapegoating of troops to hide the crimes of others. Maybe what you're saying is hilarious because it's not true.
There are zero “cultures that are being genocided” in China. Tibetans were under serfdom and brutal theocracy before liberation by the PLA, and since have seen a rise in living standards in addition to preservation of culture. For Uyghurs, China responded to US-backed terror with educational facilities and yet Uyghur culture is propped up and praised by the CPC in media in addition to representation in communities.
This article is genuinely terrible. They knew they couldn't put "In the South China Sea, China has begun to invade," so they put "Xi" instead. China's claims to the South China Sea have been shown to be evidentially indisputable (A.S. Wood (U.S. captain), Historically Mine), internationally coming down to the semantics of description and politics. This is not to say China should have sole control over the South-China Sea, rather, China is not “encroaching” on land which is provably foreign in any way beyond political bias.
Just recently Beijing manoeuvred 12 ships (three of which were warships) to within four nautical miles of Taiwan. The United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) has a clear list on what you can do inside someone else’s territorial waters (less than 12 nautical miles off the coast), and this isn’t on it.
Weird, I was under the impression that the United Nations "[considers] ‘Taiwan’ as a province of China with no separate status,” that they hold that “authorities in ‘Taipei’ are not considered to... enjoy any form of government status,” and that they “[consider] ‘Taiwan’ for all purposes to be an integral part of the People’s Republic of China.” (United Nations Judicial Yearbook, 2010, pages 516 & 540).
This most recent surge in activity is likely a show of force before Taiwan’s presidential inauguration on 20 May, but more broadly it achieves five things. It demonstrates ‘tough leadership’ to the people of China, something that is important to all dictatorships.
Taiwan's presidential election? Do you mean the election of the President of the Republic of China? No, that would require reassessing this entire narrative spewn. And this idiot thinks that, since the PRC is a designated enemy, he can just say that it's a dictatorship with no source or elaboration (he can, because The Telegraph publishes garbage).
In this regard, the annual Balikatan training exercise has come at a good time. This started as a small navy-to-navy drill during the Cold War but has gradually grown to become the premier military exercise between the US and the Philippines with 16,000 military participants in total, 11,000 from the US. Australia also contributed and this year, for the first time, so did France.
Lt. Gen. William Jurney, US Marine Corps Forces Pacific commander said: “Balikatan is a tangible demonstration of our shared commitment to each other. It matters for regional peace and stability. When we increase our mutual response and defense capabilities, we strengthen our ability to promote regional security and protect our shared interests”.
Finally, the US with military bases all over Asia, the US that orchestrated a coup and massacre in the mentioned non-aligned Indonesia to control its affairs, the US that carpet-bombed the mentioned Vietnam and killed millions in an attempt to exert control, this beacon of freedom and non-interference can stand up to China's "aggression" out of the goodness of its heart. And Australia as well! The US's little lapdog whose only leader that attempted to achieve independence from US control was couped so that they too can get a good taste of TSA patdowns.
Zhan, who was convicted and sentenced in December 2020, will be released on Monday, according to The Guardian.
The article from The Guardian says she'll be released on May 13, and quotes HRW and Amnesty Int. directors. It was released about an hour and a half before Firstpost's article, and the latter plagiarizes the misleading summary of her charge from them:
The Guardian:
Zhang was arrested in May 2020 and later sentenced to four years in prison for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”, a charge often used against activists.
Firstpost:
In December 2020, Zhan was sentenced to four years in jail for the offence of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”. Activists in China are often convicted under this offence.
