China is a one-party state, lacks an independent judiciary, and exerts strict control over the media and public expression of ideas. To call it “democratic” is somewhat perverse.

You can say the same about liberal democracy.

I know. I am not sure why I am trying to have a discussion with someone arguing in bad faith.

Correct. You are refusing to engage in good faith, dismissing discussion due to your anticommunist fervor.

This is not a place for discussion. This is a place to post articles about why Ukraine will win and why Xi Jinping is evil.

Ad hominem. Please engage the actual content

Ad hominem

Ah very nice, racist stereotypes.

Sure, in 2021 voters voted for 65 members of the RCCK for the 13th National Committee of CPPCC.

No I mean when there was talk about a dirty bomb several months ago. The dam wasn’t a nothingburger, hence why I didn’t reference it??

Nuh uh. It’s both of them. Name one embassy China has bombed in the past 30 years.

No. Japan embraced European racial ideology but still wanted its own empire. This was problematic for Japanese imperialists because Europeans considered them as lesser life forms, and reiterated this in the League of Nations. Thus, capitalist Japan has always had to have a contradictory view of race, wanting to be equal to Europeans (and superior to non-Europeans) while not being European.

This racial view of the world is no longer so overt, but still exists. European leaders still consider themselves a white “garden” compared to the non-white “jungle”. Who is considered European, Western, and/or white can be changed. Following the war in Ukraine, Russia has been described as Asian more frequently. For the collaborationist regimes in South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan, they are often grouped in as the “West,” but because they are undeniably Asian (unlike Russia), they will never be completely accepted. Racists don’t ask you for your nationality before they push you off a cliff - they just look at you. Japan & South Korea need to realize that they are Asian instead of begging white supremacists to be honorary whites.

China doesn’t have any imperialist ambitions so don’t worry about it.

China is already a democratic and peaceful civilization.

Fun fact: Asian =/= Chinese

It is totally the Chinese, authoritarian way of thinking

Ah yes, as you can see from the cranium of this skull, the Chinese brain is simply predisposed to authoritarian thought… 🙄

Bro China is one of the greatest contributors to renewable energy 💀

Hopefully this just ends up being another nothingburger like last time there was talk about a Ukrainian dirty bomb several months ago.

Yes you are so right. It’s very unfortunate dictator Xi Jinping is doing this out of nowhere based on no past events whatsoever. It’s really a shame we live in an acausal world.

Eh it’s not that bad. A lot of shit is getting dumped into the ocean. I’d only worry if this became commonplace.

Can’t wait for it to be released, everything ends up fine, people forget about it, and then we go through the same hysteria in a few decades next time there’s an accident.
