    Russia does sell oil, I don’t see what that has to do with anything right now. As for China, there’s no “regime change” in Hong Kong, they just got Hong Kong back from Britain. Taiwan is governed by the Kuomintang that invaded Taiwan and slaughtered the indigenous people there when the KMT lost the Civil War, and is gradually more in favor of reunification. The Phillipines aren’t being attacked by China. Again, you’re taking the far-right, pro-colonial stance, and just wish China was still under British and later Japanese colonialism.

      And to whom does Russia sell its oil to? To “socialist” countries alone or does it partake in the same market where “capitalist” countries buy their oil?

      The “incidents” between military Chinese vessles and commercial fishing boats from the Philippines are all random and have nothing to do with china claims on territorial waters around that area?

      People from Hong Kong who didn’t want to be living as the rest of China are free to express their views or should they be jailed for having such kind of thoughts?

      Are the people from Taiwan free to choose their own future or are they forced to be reunited with mainland China?

      Lastly, do you think everyone can have his own will and desires and be free to express them or do you support the censorship of views which do not align with your political belief?

        Russia selling oil to capitalist countries is an entirely normal thing for countries to do. Not only can socialist countries trade with capitalist ones, Russia isn’t socialist to begin with, so I’m not sure what this point is.

        China and the Phillipines have different claims to land and sea, and that does cause conflict, sure. China isn’t trying to dominate the Phillipines or extract them for wealth.

        People in Hong Kong that prefered to remain a British colony were largely the wealthy capitalists that benefited most from the system. Overall, most people are happier being reunited.

        China’s stance is that it’s fine to wait for the people of Taiwan to choose reunification on their own. NATO countries are heavilu arming Taiwan to provoke a messy and violent reunification.

        I don’t think the speech of fascists needs to be protected, nor the speech of capotalists. Free expression is only genuinely possible in classless society to begin with.

          Ah yes, the massive protests seen in 2019 were all brought by the capitalists™️, no worker did partake with the millions people marching in the streets.

          Do you realise how unserious you sound???

              So, in your view, a single man can sway an entire people to follow his ideals without any issue? My my, he must be a master of deception, maybe Loki himself. You’re as unserious as the legal processes in dictatorships

                No? Jimmy Lai was just one example that was convicted in the last few days after evidence was collected. You’re deeply unserious.

                  And where are the rest of the people who helped this wrong insurrection against the Chinese government?? Millions of people rallying against China but they’re still the good guys. Keep telling yourself that you’re right and everybody else is wrong, you’ll be always right

                    The riots died down and the majority of people support the status quo. That’s literally what happened. Hong Kong is doing better now than when they were a British colony, that you seem to wish they remain.
