Denjin@feddit.uk 1 month agoThe 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 “Uyghur Genocide” myth in the big 2026. That is a pretty huge red flag. Hard to take your points seriously after that.
For what it’s worth, Tibet was a slave-state before China forced them to be freed. There’s a reason you only see the benefactors of this system like the Dalai Lama promote a “Free Tibet”. They want their slaves back. Good luck to them.
“Projecting power” is now imperialism lol. That’s the best you got. And were supposed to equate this to American regime change, genocide, countless wars, atomic bombs, and endless hostility from American. Gotcha…

Serious question. How do you know what you’ve read about China isn’t also propaganda? Are there any unbiased sources on stuff like this?

Because I understand how to follow sources. The Uyghur Genocide myth literally comes from 1 single source of some guy insisting it’s true. Every Muslim nation on the planet has visited China and have found no wrong doings of the Uyghur population. You don’t think it’s 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.
