    If this meme is about how it’s ok to like an aspect of a country without the need of liking it as a whole, I agree.

    If this is a “China good” meme, I don’t agree.

    Among other countries, China is also committing genocide human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities, suppressing free states and is treating the majority of their population like shit. And don’t get me started on the millions of tons of microplastics they are responsible for…

      Can you give me good and reliable sources on this genocide that china has been said to commit for years? Or simply explain what you believe is happening there so I can look it up further myself? I’m not baiting you I’m genuinely interested

        Thank you for the comment! Sadly, I have somewhat limited time, so the best I can do is to link this article: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-22278037

        It’s about the genocide of the Uyghurs.

        Edit: Here are some more links:

          Can you link us the Wikipedia article about the genocide of Uighurs? It’s been going on for four years, after all, according to you. It must be an absolute doozy of an article, like all the other genocide articles.

          Oh wait, they renamed it from “genocide of Uighurs” to “persecution of Uighurs” when it became clear there was no evidence of genocide? Weird, I thought Wikipedia was American-biased!

          Oh wait again, Wikipedia does hate China, yet even they realized there is no genocide. Time for you to get the memo and stop trying to invent China Bad reality. Loser.

          Edit: Lmao his links are literally just a peanut gallery of China Bad. It’s so pathetic.

            You are correct, China is committing human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities. I don’t think that this is the right way to treat peoples.

            Please refrain from insulting.

            If you react to evidence with denial, there is no reason to discuss.

              Your “evidence” if from US government employee / evangelical christian Adrian Zenz, who doesn’t speak Chinese, has never been to the region, has zero evidence for his claims, and is part of the US project of demonizing China, and imputing its fanatacism for killing Muslims on its enemies.

              Well, you are the one attempting to discuss, if you want to prove your own claims (which are VERY serious claims) it is up to YOU to do so, not to yell at strangers and say it’s “genocide” before backpedaling when your own sources work against you. This isn’t denial, it’s trying to prove to many that you’re being lied to by the US, a country that has killed millions and millions of Muslims forgive me when an American talks about fixing China treating their Muslim population poorly. How many people in US speak their native language, how many US natives are there? I mean the TRIBES, not your European ancestors

                No one is yelling. Both sides need to prove their points. If one side is insulting, it’s not so easy to be open-minded to the other person’s point of view.

                After reading another commenter’s reply I’m willing to reassess. I wouldn’t have thought that Wikipedia is influenced to this degree by the US-american government. When I read an article, that is hosted by a site that I understand to be under high quality control, in which it is stated that a minority is being oppressed and persecuted, I am alarmed by people denying it.

                  Not “denying”, Disproving. There is an easy way to prove these sorts of very heavy claims and that involves following those sources they put all the way at the bottom of the little Wikipedia page you’re talking about. When you concede from “genocide” into more general “human rights abuses” and then claim even Wikipedia denounces it so therefore it must be horrible is pretty sloppy research at best…

                  You can go to your public library and find books on what Gulags were like, American Prisons, Chinese Prisons, American Japanese internment camps, Nazi concentration camps, and that just scratches the surface of what one person can find alone. Now pair that with decades of fascist influence from huge world organizations like the UN and NATO, ICJ, USAID, etc. and we’re getting colder and colder on the Uyghur human rights violations… it’s almost like they can speak their native language and have pretty clear autonomy in the region they reside, to the point where you could go there yourself as long as you can get the proper papers to get to China itself. Try doing that in the West Bank or Gaza.

                  I wouldn’t have thought that Wikipedia is influenced to this degree by the US-american government.

                  Well, you would be shocked at just how much goes into forming the average Americans opinion

        I hope that you are able to understand that your comment is misrepresenting what I wrote. When one desaturates, it’s hard to see color.

        I wrote that I am in favor of liking a certain aspect of a country even when another aspect is not likeable. I explicitly wrote that I am not for an oversimplified “China good” statement, in case the picture tries to convey that.

          Sorry. 😂 You don’t even know what this meme is trying to convey? Maybe keep the poetry and political analysis in your notebook

          I also noticed you responded to me and not the other people who actually proved you wrong, you just wanted to try out your little poem on me didn’t you 🥲

              Eh, no worries friend, it comes off as more soft on you than me. I kinda thought that was your intention.

              I’m not trying to be a hard ass, but we are talking geopolitics here. This isn’t some Facebook “real eyes realize real lies” thing, this is real life and provable information… That little poem made me chuckle out loud, I’m gonna start hitting more people with real eyes realize real lies in person when I disagree 😂

        When US bombs China, we won’t have to worry about a thing if things escalate. Both, the US and the Chinese government *can *and *do *commit crimes on large scales. It is not exclusive to the US.
