There is actually a lot of unrest in China, most just never gets reported.
It’s not a new phenomena either, back in their imperial days they had a lot of local rebellions and revolts, and they similarly didn’t even record them unless they surpassed a threshold.
But they have a lot of incidents of villages throwing out their government officials, or hounding them during the party congress, or so I read, although that was around 2011 when I read that incidentally.
Yeah, from what I’ve heard, China has much more localized government and policies than people in the West think, and local government catches flak from people regularly.
If I were to join something like this, mom would immediately scold me for dragging down the family into trouble.
Funnily enough, everyone in their social circle seems to be perfectly fine with joining Pro- Asian-Rights protests in the US… wonder why… 🤔
How do you feel about the tankies over on lemmy.ml?
You mean: How do I feel about a bunch of weirdos supporting a regime that have tried to terminate my existence via the enforcement of One Child Policy? (I was the 2nd child born in my family)
Idk… am I supposed to like people that believes its for the greater good for me to have been aborted because “bUt tHe oVeRpOpUlAtIoN”…?
I mean, I very much like breathing and watching movies, tv shows, anime, and I’m glad I’ve been able to play fun games like FTL… so I’m not too keen on the government that catergorically rejected my right to exist… and I don’t really like those uninformed weirdos that thinks somehow CCP taking control of their country is gonna magically solve problems… like lmao, lets see these porn-addicted people try watching porn in China… (porn is illegal)
Very fair. They always insist that people in China really like the CCP but I’ve never found that to be true. Having lived in a city with a very large Chinese diaspora I found that people generally really didn’t like the CCP. But maybe theres some selection effect going on there? The people who didnt like the CCP are the ones who left? Im not sure.
Either way, those guys on lemmy.ml are really intense. You say one thing they don’t like and they’ll just come at you like a pack of dogs and fling insult after insult your way. Source: I accidentally said something moderately supportive of NATO without realizing I was in an .ml community yesterday. It was a trip
Because NATO the European arm of US imperialism.
Two things can be true at a time , china having poor human rights record as well as nato being imperialistic in iraq , libya etc
Falun Gong is that you?
