    China has been acting like shit in Hong Kong, but it was originally Chinese territory. So I wouldn’t count that as imperialism.

    China’s behavior in the South China Sea is a much better example.

    Taiwan? You mean the city where all the landlords fled from Mao’s revolution and have been propped up by western imperialists powers ever since?

    Hong Kong, the place leased to Britain (probably unfairly/forcibly given British history) and subsequently returned to China at the end of the lease?

    If you think what China does to Muslims is bad you should see what Taiwan was like before China invaded. Seriously look up how they treated their criminals.

  Have you ever asked Tibetan people what they believe? There is literally not any significant Tibet independence movement within China, Tibet is its own autonomous region in China with special rights and higher autonomy than most other provinces, and the culture, religion and language are respected.

  How are y’all still upset that your little slave-owning, theocratic warlord state got liberatated 70 years ago?

    The excuse of every imperialist. Even using the word “liberated”. Yellow man’s burden?

    • Objection@lemmy.ml ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Damn, that’s racist. Can’t help yourself but call them yellow, can you?

      It’s not imperialist to liberate your own country from serfdom or slavery. Would you look at the northern states in the US liberating the slaves in the south and accuse people who supported that of “White Man’s Burden” shit? What a load of racist bullshit and slavery apologia.

        liberate your own country

        Tibet was not China’s “own country”. It was imperialistically annexed.
