World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

To piggyback, here are the other current genocides.
There is Sudan, particularly the Darfur region in which non-Arab ethnic groups, such as the Masalit, Fur, and Zaghawa have been targeted for eradication by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Direct deaths from conflict 30,000 to over 150,000+. Indirect/Famine Deaths are estimated at 500,000+ (primarily children).
Myanmar (Burma), where the Rohingya Muslims are being eradicated by the The Myanmar Military. Initial Genocidal Campaign (2017) at least 9,000 to 25,000+ Rohingya deaths. Ongoing Post-Coup Civil War (2021–Present): Thousands more across multiple ethnic groups.
China (Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region) where the Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other predominantly Muslim Turkic minorities are being eradicated by the Chinese Government. Death toll is inconclusive due to strict control of information by the Chinese government. There's been an 84% drop in natural population growth rates in predominantly Uyghur regions. Another point of importance is the consistent (relative to anywhere else on earth) surplus of human organs for transplant in China.
Ethiopia (Amhara and Tigray Regions) where the Ethnic Amharas (and previously Tigrayans) are being eradicated by the state security forces and various regional ethnic militias. Tigray War (2020–2022): Estimated 600,000+ deaths. Amhara Conflict (2023–Present): 7,700 to 10,000+ deaths.
For reference the Gaza genocide. Direct Violent Deaths: Over 73,000 Palestinians. Presumed/Indirect Deaths: 10,000+ missing under rubble; tens of thousands more from disease/starvation to date.
Stop weaponizing other conflicts to minimize what is happening in Gaza and palestine, you scummy hypocrite. Do you also complain about how much Ukrainian news there is on lemmy?
There's space for everything. There's really no global news coverage shortage for Gaza. Amongst my peers it's honestly the only genocide they are even aware of. They're always a bit puzzled to hear it's not the only one.
You complained about how there is too much posts about gaza rsther than not enough about other conflicts. Don't insult our intelligence we know really well that you try to weaponize the other conflicts to call anti colonization and genocide in Gaza hypocrites like the pro colonization also do
None of this is true btw.
You're right, anything critical or controversial about China is actually false. It is indeed a utopia in which there is no human suffering whatsoever. Anyone who says otherwise is only spreading propaganda because they're jealous. Only things critical or controversial about other countries are true.
No, just the reframing of normal prisons as eradication camps when international observers have visited them as well as complete fabrication of data is false. No international group has ever found evidence of the US' allegations that China is committing genocide.
We know what genocide looks like in a police state thanks to Israel. It looks like livestreams and constant video coverage. It looks like tens of thousands of refugees making their way out of a tightly controlled border. It looks like direct testimonials and actual victims with verifable residency in the area.
It does not look like US and Turkey born people claiming vague and unprovable family members totally disappeared. It does not look like AI-Generated log books from a province that went digital before the claim was made. It does not look like pictures from a drug rehab being passed off as an extermination camp. It does not look like claiming a crackdown on terrorists funded by the US and Turkey, as revealed in leaked CIA documents, is a racially motivated extermination campaign.
What's one criticism you have of China or the CCP?
The CCP doesn't exist, but for the CPC:
The Great Firewall was a good idea but its implementation is overall detrimental to China and the wider world, disallowing collaboration and allowing western audiences to have very little idea of how China actually operates besides apps like rednote which have a 'wink and a nod' agreement to bypass it.
The speed at which the upper classes are growing compared to the development of poor areas isn't good, especially as we enter a lull in the available construction labor pool and it would be much better if we utilized the overabundance of labor we have now to ensure less labor is needed as the population shrinks overtime. This could be funded by moderate tax increases to corporations, especially those who have made most their money via exports.
Cliques naturally form in any place where there's multiple humans and certain cliques in government appear to be harmful and allow corruption to flourish. While Xi has been great at fighting corruption especially compared to previous party presidents, this will end and the party has no concrete anti-corruption measures especially at the lower levels where corruption actually flourishes. If Xi loses the upcoming election or takes his retirement there likely would be a pro-western push, and with it much more corruption at all levels of government the same as the last pro-western push; I would love to see measures that eliminate that risk.
The current citizenship process is flawed at best, and should offer a path for non-citizens and people with greater than 4th gen ancestry to get citizenship without having to essentially be the next Mao. Especially given the One China attitude which encompasses many different distinct regions.
This would have been an informative comment without the anti-China propaganda.
Is anything negative about china anti-china propaganda?
Nobody said that. Removed with your strawman.
You complain about too much politics on Lemmy with your 3 days old account and engage in rage baiting and concern trolling on political topics. How about you just don't subscribe to political communities then? That's gonna make live easier for everyone, you don't see all the politics you don't like and the communities don't have to put up with your bad faith conduct.
Just a question, how do you feel about legitimate criticism of China? Are they anti-china propaganda or just legitimate criticism? Now for the sake of the discussion just assume someone gave you X criticism of China and it's legitimate. I don't want you running from answering by bringing up other stuff. It's called a hypothetical and I'm sure you can manage. We can start your new discussion after this one is finished.
I guess we can't stay on topic. It's alright. It's not your fault. Just blink twice if you can't criticize china even if it's legitimate and we will all understand.
Kind of like derailing a thread about Gaza to talk about other conflicts that are also bad?
Mostly that they don't get much news attention at all, most definitely not in contrast to other tragedies.
