    I’m not from the US, nor do I endorse capitalism. Also I educate myself a lot on non market based political systems. And I know of positive changes over the last few decades. And STILL I think glorifying China while brushing over the many human rights violations happening in China is absolutely not it.

      The “many human rights violations” are part of the imperial propaganda that needs to be deprogrammed

      Short version is EVERYTHING you have been told about Tibet, Xinjiang and Tiananmen is a thinly sourced lie propped up by Western intelligence.

        I’ve lived in China and this sounds like propaganda. So much so I honestly can’t tell if you’re trolling.

          So when you lived in China, did you witness these human rights violations firsthand? Did you hear about them second hand from your contacts?

          Are you another one of these people who thinks propaganda is limited to Bad Country, therefore Our Noble Liberal Democracy could never do such a thing? Do you understand that propaganda could be true or false, and is usually a mix of both?

          Here’s some fun examples for posterity:

          • Have your trusted media sources ever told you about the brutality of the feudal slave society in Tibet before Mao liberated it?
          • Have you even been to Xinjiang? A coalition of Muslim majority nations did and found no evidence of a genocide. It’s honestly laughable. What land are they being driven from and driven to? How can the population of Uyghurs continue to increase year after year while this genocide is supposedly happening? Did you know that all ethnic minorities in China (including Uyghurs) enjoy special privileges under their system?
          • How do you think the militarized police in the United States would respond to a flood of agitators literally burning police alive? Do you think they would show the same restraint as the Chinese did?
