ROFL this thread is hillarious. OP sure picked the wrong instance to ask their question.
(For fuck sakes: Please do not ask questions (expecially questions that may involve politics) in TankieLiteEdition.ml, aka: lemmy.ml)
You visited as a tourist, not as an advocate; of course, you’re going to see what you want to see. Next time, you should ask about Tiananmen Square or question police powers, and see what happens
And Australia has Aboriginals on their notes too. What an asinine point.
This sounds exactly like someone defending Israel. Oh, I visited Israel, and there are arabs and Palestinians, and everyone is very happy and friendly. They even have Arabic on their banknotes!
Why should I ask? It’s not really any of my business. I don’t think you’ll have a good time anywhere if you question police powers.
And Australia celebrates it’s aboriginals?
Because you’re acting like an authority, saying you’ve been to China and didn’t see any of this.
And yes, Australia celebrates its Aboriginals now, but that isn’t my point. My point is that it doesn’t magically remove the imperialism that minorities face.
I’m not an authority. I’m just giving my own personal experience. I don’t think the idea people get from the media is accurate. Every country has it’s pros and it’s cons. China is no different. It’s not North Korea.
long as you admit china is imperialist with human rights abuses we coo
So is the USA, so is the UK, so is Israel, so is Russia, so is Hamas (well not really imperialist)…
pretty much. i think you can argue every country on earth has had human rights abuses at some point in its history.
I am not gonna be like “China is ultimate utopia”, but I don’t see it as a lesser country to the USA or the UK
To the US I can understand, but why the UK? Surely free healthcare more rights makes the UK overall better?
