          This is just a link to a Wikipedia article about Tiananmen Square. I don’t understand what you think this proves.

          Western perceptions of the event are extremely flawed, and the insistence of memorializing it is honesty quite strange given your track record. Imagine if people in China made it an annual day of remembrance for that time Philly police dropped a bomb on a neighbourhood, or that time you guys murdered that whole town of black people. There are many tragic world events that you pay no mind to, yet you are compelled to condemn this one event. You should think about who’s influencing your perceptions.

          Imperialism is a word that MEANS something. Even the most uncharitable critics of Tiananmen Square do not claim it to be “Chinese Imperialism” that doesn’t make any sense lol.

            The belt and road iniative is clearly a neo-colonial policy and imperialist.

            Chinese policy in the south China Sea of building artificial islands, putting a military base on it and projecting power into other countries sovereign waters is imperialism.

            The sinicization of Tibet is imperialism.

            The persecution and sinicization Uyghurs in Xinjian borders on genocide.

              Oof, not you falling for the “Uyghur Genocide” myth in the big 2026. That is a pretty huge red flag. Hard to take your points seriously after that.

              For what it’s worth, Tibet was a slave-state before China forced them to be freed. There’s a reason you only see the benefactors of this system like the Dalai Lama promote a “Free Tibet”. They want their slaves back. Good luck to them.

              “Projecting power” is now imperialism lol. That’s the best you got. And were supposed to equate this to regime change, genocide, countless wars, atomic bombs, and endless hostility from America. Gotcha…
