EvilTankieSupreme@lemmy.zip âš4â© âšdaysâ© agoThis is just a link to a Wikipedia article about Tiananmen Square. I donât understand what you think this proves.
Western perceptions of the event are extremely flawed, and the insistence of memorializing it is just weird. Imagine if people in China made it an annual day of remembrance for that time Philly police dropped a bomb on a neighbourhood, or that time you guys murdered that whole town of black people. You should think about whoâs influencing your perceptions.

The belt and road iniative is clearly a neo-colonial policy and imperialist.
Chinese policy in the south China Sea of building artificial islands, putting a military base on it and projecting power into other countries sovereign waters is imperialism.
The sinicization of Tibet is imperialism.
The persecution and sinicization Uyghurs in Xinjian borders on genocide.

Oof, not you falling for the âUyghur Genocideâ myth in the big 2026. That is a pretty huge red flag. Hard to take your points seriously after that.
For what itâs worth, Tibet was a slave-state before China forced them to be freed. Thereâs a reason you only see the benefactors of this system like the Dalai Lama promote a âFree Tibetâ. They want their slaves back. Good luck to them.
âProjecting powerâ is now imperialism lol. Thatâs the best you got. And were supposed to equate this to American regime change, genocide, countless wars, atomic bombs, and endless hostility from American. GotchaâŠ

Serious question. How do you know what youâve read about China isnât also propaganda? Are there any unbiased sources on stuff like this?
EvilTankieSupreme@lemmy.zip âš3â© âšdaysâ© ago
Because I understand how to follow sources. The Uyghur Genocide myth literally comes from 1 single source of some guy insisting itâs true. Every Muslim nation on the planet has visited China and have found no wrong doings of the Uyghur population. You donât think itâs a bit weird that westerners rarely hold any sympathy for Muslims, yet for some reason this one specific group of Muslims in China is super important and needs your help? Not really adding up mate.
