I agree that the treatment of Uighurs is more important if that's what you're saying, but I'm not cool with people using it as just another reactionary talking point about how communism is evil and I'm not just gonna let people spread lies

Yo I just gotta say, I don't know if I agree with you on everything, but you're definitely one of my favorite posters in this section cause you always keep it real and give a comprehensive look at the situation being discussed, taking all perspectives into account. I respect that

China isn't communist but at the same time these accusations against them are false, of course the first thing anyone from the right is gonna say is ''Muh evil communists'' or ''communism is when government...'' and we both know how ridiculous these statements sound. Now regardless of the ignorant folk calling China a communist country, they're even more ignorant to believe this entire story.

the best thing the US and other western countries can do is take strong economic action against China. this could begin with freezing debt (which would be massive), sanctioning officials, investigating domestic companies with strong ties to china (esp. those suppressing info about the uigurs), and de-incentivizing economic relationships by repealing trade deals and similar such things. I think this would go very far. Countries could also officially recognize Taiwan's independence.
However, I have to admit, I am not very hopeful about this. The US is in a bad position; on one hand, the country is ruled by the Dollar and companies ruled by inhuman demons would rather enable a genocide than lose a bit of profit yearly. On the other hand is a growing base of people who are so rapidly anti-US that they are okay with enabling genocide remotely as long as it "owns the patriots" or whatever. It is founded in a deep narcissism and inability to separate biases from current events. Similarly, in other countries, there are growing strong economic relationships with china which the countries feel is more important than preservation of morality; this can be seen in some eastern european countries, as well as some of Italy for example. I'll be the honest, many of these countries - the US and the EU, have to blame themselves for this, decades of divisive rhetoric has primed both of them to seek these types of economic relationships.
I will say the US should also be doing this to the Saudis for their genocide of the Yemeni people, among others. The US and other western countries have enabled many of these state actors, even if it is not the direct fault of these countries. Inability to condemn such and continued economic relationships as if nothing was wrong is a large foundation for why this is happening.
However, as I said, I cannot advocate war or similar. It is soul-crushing to think about the plight of these people and I hope this will be resolved.

''Communist authoritarian dictatorship'' I'M HOWLING

Not only that it's not a communist country but it fascinates me even more how political knowledge of some people is ''dictatorship means communism''. It never fails to amaze me, perhaps Turkmenistan is a communist country as well because they have a dictator.

Lol I’m just messing with you

The character is an amalgamation of RAND Corporation strategist Herman Kahn, mathematician and Manhattan Project principal John von Neumann, rocket scientist Wernher von Braun (a central figure in Nazi Germany's rocket development program recruited to the US after the war), and Edward Teller, the "father of the hydrogen bomb". It has been claimed that the character was based on Henry Kissinger, but Kubrick and Sellers denied this; Sellers said, "Strangelove was never modeled after Kissinger—that's a popular misconception. It was always Wernher von Braun. Furthermore, Henry Kissinger points out in his memoirs that at the time of the writing of Dr. Strangelove, he was an unknown academic

Henry Kissinger is evil tho ​

So you’re saying that in capitalist China I can start the streetwear brand I’ve always wanted to start called “CCP Sucks Cock?” And of course, CCP means Capitalist Party of China and definitely NOT COMMUNIST party of China

No I meant the way you're typing here... Nevermind

Now about that, first of all you're making a huge mistake by believing everything you see in the media without doing any further research, which I can assume you haven't done any research since you're speaking like this

Also I can provide you with articles of Chinese media but you will say ''oh CCP propaganda'' (as if there's no western propaganda) and with the fact that I live in China so I think I might have a little more knowledge on this (I'm not Chinese, just a foreign student studying in China)
