You clearly don’t know the first thing about China. Unfortunately for you, belligerence won’t help you overcome your own ignorance.

Liberals like you will condemn China for pursuing peaceful reunification and then cheer on Ukraine as it bombed civilians in Donetsk and Luhansk after they declared independence. Peace is war and war is peace I guess. You’re probably happy to admit that Russia violated Ukrainian sovereignty by intervening military in what was essentially a civil war. However when the US does the same exact thing you pretend it’s actually about protecting Taiwanese self determination? How gullible are you?

Sure but class inequality is what exacerbates gender inequality. Under capitalism anyone who is working class is forced to sell their labor to survive. Women are inherently disadvantaged here because their labor is required for social reproduction. Even assuming an equal distribution of housework and raising kids women have to do the unpaid work of pregnancy, childbirth, nursing, etc. Capitalists will therefore discount the value of a women’s labor regardless of her individual capabilities or productive output. As a result women are often forced to depend on the men in their lives for financial stability.

Conservatives are hell bent on normalizing this unnatural inequality between the sexes because doing so protects the underlying class inequality between owners and workers. This is what helps to create a sexist culture that even wealthy women have to endure. However, a woman who can live off of the growth of her investments is not facing the full weight of gender inequality that a working class woman must contend with. She does not have to deal with the threat of homelessness, hunger, and poverty that keeps many working class women dependent on men. Her financial stability is already assured because of her class position and the exploitation of the working class. That gives her far more freedoms than even most working class men.

The obvious solution to the problem is to upend capitalism which is what reinforces class. That creates the possibility of actually valuing reproductive labor and giving universal financial independence to all women. If you just try to address gender inequality alone without upending capitalism you won’t be able to succeed. Even if somehow you did, the vast majority of inequality would remain because most inequality can be explained by class alone. So while its true that gender and class issues are interrelated, abolishing class creates the conditions necessary to abolish gender inequality.

You’re a fucking joke, a fascist repeating hasbara lies desperately trying to normalize genocide. You can pretend history began on October 7th all you want. Unfortunately for you, the days where you could whitewash Israel’s decades long campaign to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their homeland are over. People see the vile shit you’re spewing for what it is.

Zionism is just 20th century ethnonationalism trying to disguise itself using the real trauma and oppression of Jewish people as a cloak to hide a holocaust of it’s own making. You alongside ever zionist antisemitic piece of shit including Biden and Harris can fuck right off. You are legitimately no better than Trump or any other white nationalist asshole. Your beliefs are identical and the world can see it even if you can’t.

I just had to look this up and it did not disappoint. It was apparently a triple barrel gun with a machete for a stock and only went out of service in 2006.

If you legitimately think the two are indistinguishable you’ve abandoned nuance of any kind. Talk to me when China is bombing children in an illegal war of aggression so that their fascist vassal can continue a genocide unchallenged.

It would be a red flag if the law interfered with the many regional laws that mandate minority languages be taught in schools. This law does not do that at all. It explicitly guarantees the right to learn and use minority languages. To compare it to the cultural genocide of settler colonial countries that enforced language bans with violence and brutality is ridiculous.

Also don’t just apply whatever context you’re familiar with onto China. You’re severely underestimating the amount of cultural and lingual diversity in China. As I said before, Mandarin is a constructed language that was developed relatively recently, very unlike Russian. The vast majority of people in China do not learn Mandarin as their first language. That includes most of China’s political leaders. You’re basically trying to suggest that these people want to destroy their own regional languages and culture which is just absurd.

Do you really think that using an analogy is whataboutism?

The president of Taiwan was elected with a minority of votes because the two opposition parties that support closer relations with the PRC could not agree on a joint candidate to run. In the Taiwanese legislature the KMT actually holds more seats than the president’s party.

Also the PRC is not threatening Taiwan with annihilation. That’s just absurd. The PRC’s position is that it doesn’t want foreign countries interfering in Chinese political matters. If you didn’t know already, the US intervened in the Chinese civil war in order to defend a fascist dictator and has continued to give the RoC military support ever since. The PRC keeps the military option open as a deterrent against further US intervention not because it’s planning to invade.

If you’re so knowledgeable then why haven’t you shared any of that knowledge?

Do you know what “neoliberalism” is or even what the “global south” refers to? Because none of this makes any sense.

China famously rejected neoliberal economics when carrying out market reform. That’s why their economy skyrocketed instead of collapsing like many Eastern European countries. They are also considered part of the global south and are still a developing country in many respects.

Just read the actual law that Reuters is talking about. It explicitly guarantees minority language rights among a variety of other protections for ethnic minorities. Acting like teaching mandarin is imperialism is absurd. It’s a constructed language designed to be the lingua franca of China. Even most Han Chinese do not learn mandarin as their first language.
