@smithvillemike@yoyonofukuoka@MarioNawfal Sometimes a person who thinks too highly of himself has to be knock down a peg, so he realizes that we’re all really equal.
@Chidera15181727@tankie_grimace@KareemRifai At this point you’re just listing every internal political controversy in China like it’s unique. Every country has internal dissent, purges, scandals—yours included. You’re just choosing one country to spotlight.
@Chidera15181727@tankie_grimace@KareemRifai The original point of my post wasn’t that China is perfect. It’s the hypocrisy of countries calling out China while they’re literally bombing civilians abroad.
It’s like someone setting a house on fire lecturing another for having messy furniture.
@Chidera15181727@tankie_grimace@KareemRifai I’m not saying China has the moral high ground—but we all know that the countries claiming it are the most violent.
And no, I’m not from China—I just read both sides.
@Chidera15181727@tankie_grimace@KareemRifai You’re cherry-picking one side of every dispute. In reality, both sides blame each other, and confrontations occurred on both sides (India border clashes, South China Sea, etc.).
You’re just choosing the version that fits your narrative—often the one pushed by Western media.
@Chidera15181727@tankie_grimace@KareemRifai Bombing other countries = external use of military force killing civilians. It’s about projecting force outward with immediate lethal consequences.
@Chidera15181727@tankie_grimace@KareemRifai Let’s be clear:
Internal political purges= intra-government power struggles; It’s about maintaining control and stability within a system (right or wrong)
@Chidera15181727@tankie_grimace@KareemRifai That’s very different from bombing other countries and killing civilians. One is disputed sovereignty; the other is direct use of force.
@Chidera15181727@tankie_grimace@KareemRifai These are territorial disputes with competing legal & historical claims—China, Japan, India, etc. all argue their side. That’s normal—almost every country has disputes.
The U.S. and Canada literally expanded by taking Indigenous lands—that’s how modern borders were formed.
@Chidera15181727@tankie_grimace@KareemRifai Since you used Peng Dehuai’s criticism to attack China, here are some Western quotes too—
Jeffrey Sachs: “The most violent country in recent decades.”
Martin Luther King Jr.: “The greatest purveyor of violence… my own government.”
Noam Chomsky: U.S. actions are “major war crimes
@Chidera15181727@tankie_grimace@KareemRifai Peng Dehuai criticized policy failures—not a plan to “kill millions.” Whereas, going into another country to bomb and kill civilians is a direct act.
If your argument relies on removing context and inflating intent, it’s not history—it’s propaganda.
@Chidera15181727@tankie_grimace@KareemRifai I guess deaths by famine is the same as deaths by bombing. Funny how people highlight the numbers but hide the context. As long as your tribe wins, that’s all that matters right, guys?
@jasongordo626@ryangrim One China means accepting Taiwan as part of China and respecting China’s sovereignty.
Arming Taiwan contradicts that principle — it undermines it.
If China armed Puerto Rico or Hawaii, wouldn’t the U.S. see it as a direct threat?
@jasongordo626@ryangrim No, strategic ambiguity was about giving the U.S. plausible deniability while doing the opposite in practice. Washington publicly affirms One China while privately arming Taiwan, expanding military presence, and encouraging red-line crossings. That’s double-speak.
