@MCJRESQ1 @UlyssesFinn Chinese is not the same as Han. Chinese by definition includes Uyghurs.

@zhao_dashuai You overestimate PLAN's power. J-15s from Liaoning are no match for F-35s. In the event to a naval battle, China's CBG would likely be stripped of its air cover immediately, and sunk by repeated LRASM and JSM salvos.

@CindyWan19 2/2 On many strategic issues, the CCP may well be making the same decisions a democratic China would've made. E.g. in relation to SCS, even ROC is claiming a piece of the pie there. ROC's claim is the same as PRC's - inheritance from imperial China.

[Celestial Khagan @CelestialKhagan]

@CindyWan19 1/2 Sinophobes sometimes have Freudian slips that betray their true agenda, like when a US senator said China had 5000 years of cheating and stealing.

@real_JamesDoe @realsteelmuslim There were a small but significant group of Jews who migrated to China during the Tang dynasty which was contemporaneous with the Byzantine empire. Many of them settled in Kaifeng, the Chinese capital at the time. They became known as Kaifeng Jews.

@TomatoYellowGg @alis69696969 Or maybe that Taiwanese are white-worshipping, racism-internalising people.

[Celestial Khagan @CelestialKhagan]

@RazvenHK 2/2 And of course East Asians with internalised racism will deny their racism , because it is in their subconscious mind, they are not consciously aware of it.

[Celestial Khagan @CelestialKhagan]

@RazvenHK 1/2 I don't think it's a myth. By my observation, white worship and internalised racism are somewhat unique to ethnic Chinese. It's not something that other ethnic groups can easily empathise with. It's not even something ethnic Chinese themselves are necessarily aware of.

@asian_bogan I, too, fancied my teacher when I was in high school.

@1fanmeow To be fair, there was probably, to some extent, foreign interference / collusion with foreign powers in Hong Kong, because the pan-Democrats refused to pass a national security law as required by Basic Law.

[Celestial Khagan @CelestialKhagan]

@Teadaxs @shaunrein And what freedoms of theirs were being impinged upon?

[Celestial Khagan @CelestialKhagan]

@Angel44441722 I dislike the argument if it's been operating independently, then if ought to be independent. That'd give great powers carte blanche to carve up weaker ones. Simply carve up your weaker adversary and have the offshoot(s) operate independently for a while. And there you have it.

[Celestial Khagan @CelestialKhagan]

@RazvenHK That's not a fair characterisation. A small but significant number of HKers harbour internalised racism and a false sense superiority towards Mainlanders. You can tell from their use of racial slurs such as "支那[insert animal]"

@mangonut It's not so much voting for an dictator as voting against the establishment. Besides, many Americans probably equate Trump's wealth with competence in running the country.

[Celestial Khagan @CelestialKhagan]

@Liddokun @mangonut Um, not entirely true. There are some successful private enterprises, like DJI and those tech giants.

[Celestial Khagan @CelestialKhagan]

@D162Michele I swear Chinese public relations is so bad that even when they say something that is absolutely true, the average westerner will still think it's false.

[Celestial Khagan @CelestialKhagan]

@Bernard32565129 @JamesLLandis @D162Michele 2/2 Had these social media and google committed to complying with the Chinese government's orders to censor certain information and rat out dissidents, they likely would not have been banned. You may disagree with those orders, but the point is they had a chance. Tiktok doesn't.

[Celestial Khagan @CelestialKhagan]

@Bernard32565129 @JamesLLandis @D162Michele 1/2 If your point is it's a tit-for-tat in a trade dispute, then you have proven my point the claim about national security is BS.

@allisonrlapehn I don't understand why they do this. I almost got fined 3000RMB for registering my address late with the police.
