Okay Russia is understandable cuz they're in a war, USA understandable cuz they're saber rattling, but genuinely what is China doing besides minding their own business?
The worst crime of all. Being powerful while the wrong race.
Buying ports and selling cars, generally speaking an economy war.
then dont sell the ports and buy the cars?
economy war is when the west voluntarily hands you all its production and then gets mad that someone somehow handed the production over. i guess.
China is the evil economy.
Boost their own, flood foreign.
What are you talking about. What country doesn't want to boost their economy???
Between an exchange of goods and services and flooding it by subventiontioning to suppress the competition is teensy tiny difference, no?
This is called a "skill issue" on the hand of western imperialists that can't compete. Stop framing doing better as being evil.
Evil is in the eye of the beholder.
Explain how it's evil to allow the US companies to move their production out of the US? The US corporations could have kept industry here, but they decided to fuck themselves over so that a few shareholders' margins went up by a few percentage points. That wasn't China being malicious, that's the US lacking any sense of foresight while being blinded by greed.
Evil is the invisible hand of the market fisting the ass of your country, who send their production to a foreign country, and then start crying because they get better after decades of doing what guys should have being doing all along.
Being better at producing goods is evil?
Oh no the Chinese are sending us good quality, cheap goods and letting us pay them with our dogshit overinflated currency. If only we were forced to buy plasticky shit at extortionate prices made by the USA (USA!! USA!!).
What do you mean "evil economy?" Is producing goods a bad thing?
Death to production, unlimited chaos on everyone.
Literally sounds like 40k logic, lol.
Flooding foreign economies with cheap subventioned goods so the domestic can't compete and go out of business and thus increasing dependency in you.
Yes, I'd say this is bad.
Bad for who
It is a pretty bad deal for Western workers that our economies have deindustrialized. But that's not China's fault, that's our ruling classes' fault.
Deindustrialization itself isn't really bad. It's a neutral thing.
Yeah, kind of, but under a capitalist system where workers can't reap the benefits of automation and much labor is still performed in the imperial periphery it is negative.
The goods produced in China are cheap because Western economies made a bet that they'd come out ahead by moving their capital out of their own economies and into China. China won the bet instead of them and now has more productive capacity than the West. Why is it China's fault that the West had poor foresight and deindustrialized itself in exchange for short term profits? Should Chinese workers have remained poor forever instead of benefiting from Western investments?
This is just cope, though. China has better industrial capacity, and can produce high quality goods for lower prices because of this. It isn't because of evil, it's because China as a socialist economy is surpassing capitalist economies.
They are literally genociding part of their population to enforce a unique race
Big if true
What does this even mean
Can you provide a source for that claim?
They aren't? Not only is the idea of mass Uyghur slave labor atrocity propaganda akin to claiming that there's "white genocide" in South Africa, Christian genocide in Nigeria, or that Hamas sexually assaulted babies in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, but the PRC is an incredibly industrialized country and as such doesn't have a need for slavery. Slavery in general is a horribly inefficient system fir anything other than agrarian production, which is why the Statesian North liberated the slaves in the south, for more wage-laboring industrial workers.
In the case of Xinjiang, the area is crucial in the Belt and Road Initiative, so the west backed sepratist groups in order to destabilize the region. China responded with vocational programs and de-radicalization efforts, which the west then twisted into claims of "genocide." Nevermind that the west responds to seperatism with mass violence, and thus re-education programs focused on rehabilitation are far more humane, the tool was used both for outright violence by the west into a useful narrative to feed its own citizens.
The best and most comprehensive resource I have seen so far is Qiao Collective's Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation. Qiao Collective is explicitly pro-PRC, but this is an extremely comprehensive write-up of the entire background of the events, the timeline of reports, and real and fake claims.
I also recommend reading the UN report and China's response to it. These are the most relevant accusations and responses without delving into straight up fantasy like Adrian Zenz, professional propagandist for the Victims of Communism Foundation, does.
Tourists do go to Xinjiang all the time as well. You can watch videos like this one on YouTube, though it obviously isn't going to be a comprehensive view of a complex situation like this.
