      If that’s the metric for good or evil, take a look at how much of the equipment of the Tatmadaw (Myanmar’s military) and the Arakan Army (a faction in the civil war) was from China while they conduct the Rohingya genocide

        Yeah, you’re actually right about that. China has a bad track record of supporting genocidal governments in SEA, like with the Khmer Rouge.

        The scale of the genocide in Gaza is much larger than the Rohingya genocide, though, so it’s still inappropriate to call Europe the “good side” as compared to China.

          Are you really going to make an argument based on which of two genocides had bigger numbers?

            No, I’m willing to admit that what China did is really horrible and can rightfully justify putting them as Darth Vader in the meme. I’m saying that Europe doesn’t get to be Luke.

              China is the one keeping Russia afloat while destroying Ukraine. Go sway stupid troll, the Fediverse is not for your kind. Blocked.

          In Xinjiang I believe they’re enjoying a pretty fantastic rate of development and industrialization.

          Weird way to write “being repressed, being subject to forced labour, ideological and political “reeducation”, being restricted in exercising their religious beliefs to the point of muslim names being prohibited, being subject to abuse and internment, etc. pp, all that to degrees where several experts classify CCPs course against Uighurs in Xinjiang as a genocide.”

          Fuck off, tankie.

                  That’s not a quote. Why do you think that’s a quote?

                  This is how a quote would look like.

                  Also, there is no claim of genocide. There is a claim that several experts say it’s a genocide.

                    This string exists in your comment:

                    Weird way to write “being repressed, being subject to forced labour, ideological and political “reeducation”, being restricted in exercising their religious beliefs to the point of muslim names being prohibited, being subject to abuse and internment, etc. pp, all that to degrees where several experts classify CCPs course against Uighurs in Xinjiang as a genocide.”

                    The 19th character of that string is ". The last character is also a ". Where I come from we call that a quote.

      And there are calls to stop doing it. It is legal, published, and you can run a platform on it.

      Unlike in China if e.g. you oppose them helping Russia.
