    800 million people out of poverty is a stretch but if you wanted to make that claim, it’s because the west spent so much money to get goods from China. And the ethnic cleansing of the Uyghurs

      Yeah, where do these stupid tankies get these numbers anyway? I’m sure China says they lifted 800 million kajillion people out of poverty or whatever, but let’s see what a western source like, say, The World Bank has to say about it.

      it’s because the west spent so much money to get goods from China.

      I swear these arguments get worse every day. You could just as easily say that the only reason the West has so much stuff is because China made it for them for cheap.

      Wait, that’s actually a much more coherent argument lol.

        The world bank? My person they are quoting the Chinese propaganda. The west had lots of stuff after ww2, they got more cheaper stuff when they offshored it to China that’s the coherent argument

          I see. So The World Bank is also in on the communist plot to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids.

          “You only made a bunch of money because you produced stuff people wanted to buy” is not the own you think it is.

            Who said anything about “own”? It’s just what happened. Forget the issues that this type of capitalism brought though.

        Turns out you can’t go there to investigate, I wonder why? https://ishr.ch/latest-updates/china-two-years-after-xinjiang-findings-un-rights-chief-reports-limited-access-to-information-reprisals-against-activists/

        Why are you so adamantly defending a country which abducts people for their beliefs? (Don’t come at me with “but murica does the same!!!”) The world is not the USA.

          They didn’t “abduct people for their beliefs.” They had to reeducate a population that had been radicalized by western intelligence. Now the facilities no longer exist, they’ve been reintegrated, and the west was forced to admit they had no proof of their claims.

              Reeducation is the humane option for dealing with violent religious zealots, the US kills them instead and regularly kills their families and innocent bystanders as well, I’d say anyone who prioritizes criticizing the former over the latter is a disgusting human being

                  So the story is that the US and our allies, who have spent decades villifying imprisoning and killing muslims, and who have repeatedly verifiably lied about similar human rights abuses to justify our foreign policy before, are the only ones who can be trusted to tell the truth about the conditions for muslims who just happen to be living in the country which is our single greatest global rival politically and economically, about whom we have an extremely obvious foreign policy motive for lying, but we’re definitely telling the truth this time and everyone else is lying? Every muslim majority nation on earth is apparently only supporting China because they’re either corrupt or too terrified to oppose them, despite the fact that the US has been completely unable to get similar results for Israel with our best efforts? And despite having the most advanced surveillance technology on earth, despite having satellites that can take high resolution pictures of any patch of dirt on earth and an unmatched intelligence network, the US has somehow been unable to obtain any incontrovertible physical evidence of this supposed genocide for years? And you believe that?
