Obligatory reminder that the chinese peoples Republic is, even though technological advanced, a dictatorship that runs concentration Camps and lets people disappear that disagree with the government

Edit: I find it interesting how many feel the need to say that the USA isn't better. But If have never said otherwise, both can be true at the same time. The world doesn't work like a game of chess that only has two sides. The fact that one side is bad doesn't make the other good or even less bad

Are you kidding me right now? Do you know what happens to the Uyghurs or what they did to Hong Kong? Fuck off and go back to r/sino

Probably nothing that the Uyghurs hadn't done to the Chinese for centuries

Are you seriously that fucking ignorant? They are literally being put in camps in western China.

I guess I am. I have read some history on the region. Have you? Uyghurs treated Chinese like expendable lesser beings for centuries. Now that China has grown rich and powerful, the Uyghurs are getting the treatment. I do not condone it. But you can't ignore the history of the region.
