You called it, fast.
It was easy. China is in the title and a lot of our new visitors seem to be allergic to that.
It’s like hypnotism. 123 you’re under. When someone says, ‘China’, you lose the power of critical thinking and repeat after me.
I wonder if we find the magic clap or finger click they’ll snap out of it?
And these are the same people who think that everyone in China is brainwashed and manipulated by their government.
Chinese people don’t go into a blind frothing-at-the-mouth Pavlovian rage every time the US is mentioned.
I find all the buthurt libs in the comment section quite funny. The US spent decades in the middle east and all it accomplished was wars, misery and death. China managed to restore diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, two sworn enemies for decades! What more evidence do you need that China is for peace and the US for war?
Face it, the US is a horrible country that has done nothing else other than inflict suffering on anyone that it has ever come across. China is the best hope for humanity, and you better hope they become the de facto world leader. If they colapse by some ungodly reason, then you might as well start searching for ways to leave this planet, because it will become one giant hellhole.

Taiwan is and has always been a part of China, most of the world agrees with this.
Do you actually know what imperialism is? Do you know any history regarding China and Taiwan at all or are you just repeating what it’s biggest hater continues to say?
Imperialism is when the media tells me an enemy of the US is a bad guy country full of Voldemorts.

No problem, I used the super-credible source Confederate Information of America (CIA)
Sure, that’s why they still claim that Mongolia is a part of their territories
No government (including the one on Taiwan) recognizes Taiwan as a country. The official position of the government on Taiwan is that they are the legitimate government for all of China (the “Republic of China”), and there are about a dozen (mostly tiny) other countries that officially agree with that policy. The vast majority of governments in the world, including every country in North America and Europe, recognize the government in Beijing as the legitimate government for all of China (the People’s Republic of China). No country would tolerate a foreign government funding separatism in one of its provinces, and China has been incredibly patient for many decades and continues to be patient because the CPC is well aware that the desire of the vast majority of people on Taiwan is to maintain the status quo.

Last time I looked the leadership in Taiwan was looking for US support to carry out it’s dream of governing all the lands the it lays claim to, i.e. the same lands the CPC lays claim to.
Taiwan is essentially if the confederacy in the US civil war escaped to an island, and claimed to be the real US. The reactionary government in Taiwan even still lays claim to Nepal, parts of Russia, and a ton of other areas.

The Uyghurs in Xinjiang
spoiler
(Note: This comment had to be trimmed down to fit the character limit, for the full response, see here)
Anti-Communists and Sinophobes claim that there is an ongoing genocide-- a modern-day holocaust, even-- happening right now in China. They say that Uyghur Muslims are being mass incarcerated; they are indoctrinated with propaganda in concentration camps; their organs are being harvested; they are being force-sterilized. These comically villainous allegations have little basis in reality and omit key context.
Background
Xinjiang, officially the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, is a province located in the northwest of China. It is the largest province in China, covering an area of over 1.6 million square kilometers, and shares borders with eight other countries including Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia, India, and Pakistan.
Xinjiang is a diverse region with a population of over 25 million people, made up of various ethnic groups including the Uyghur, Han Chinese, Kazakhs, Tajiks, and many others. The largest ethnic group in Xinjiang is the Uyghur who are predominantly Muslim and speak a Turkic language. It is also home to the ancient Silk Road cities of Kashgar and Turpan.
Since the early 2000s, there have been a number of violent incidents attributed to extremist Uyghur groups in Xinjiang including bombings, shootings, and knife attacks. In 2014-2016, the Chinese government launched a “Strike Hard” campaign to crack down on terrorism in Xinjiang, implementing strict security measures and detaining thousands of Uyghurs. In 2017, reports of human rights abuses in Xinjiang including mass detentions and forced labour, began to emerge.
Counterpoints
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is the second largest organization after the United Nations with a membership of 57 states spread over four continents. The OIC released Resolutions on Muslim Communities and Muslim Minorities in the non-OIC Member States in 2019 which:
- Welcomes the outcomes of the visit conducted by the General Secretariat’s delegation upon invitation from the People’s Republic of China; commends the efforts of the People’s Republic of China in providing care to its Muslim citizens; and looks forward to further cooperation between the OIC and the People’s Republic of China.
In this same document, the OIC expressed much greater concern about the Rohingya Muslim Community in Myanmar, which the West was relatively silent on.
Over 50+ UN member states (mostly Muslim-majority nations) signed a letter (A/HRC/41/G/17) to the UN Human Rights Commission approving of the de-radicalization efforts in Xinjiang:
The World Bank sent a team to investigate in 2019 and found that, “The review did not substantiate the allegations.” (See: World Bank Statement on Review of Project in Xinjiang, China)
Even if you believe the deradicalization efforts are wholly unjustified, and that the mass detention of Uyghur’s amounts to a crime against humanity, it’s still not genocide. Even the U.S. State Department’s legal experts admit as much:
The U.S. State Department’s Office of the Legal Advisor concluded earlier this year that China’s mass imprisonment and forced labor of ethnic Uighurs in Xinjiang amounts to crimes against humanity—but there was insufficient evidence to prove genocide, placing the United States’ top diplomatic lawyers at odds with both the Trump and Biden administrations, according to three former and current U.S. officials.
State Department Lawyers Concluded Insufficient Evidence to Prove Genocide in China | Colum Lynch, Foreign Policy. (2021)
A Comparative Analysis: The War on Terror
The United States, in the wake of “9/11”, saw the threat of terrorism and violent extremism due to religious fundamentalism as a matter of national security. They invaded Afghanistan in October 2001 in response to the 9/11 attacks, with the goal of ousting the Taliban government that was harbouring Al-Qaeda. The US also launched the Iraq War in 2003 based on Iraq’s alleged possession of WMDs and links to terrorism. However, these claims turned out to be unfounded.
According to a report by Brown University’s Costs of War project, at least 897,000 people, including civilians, militants, and security forces, have been killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, and other countries. Other estimates place the total number of deaths at over one million. The report estimated that many more may have died from indirect effects of war such as water loss and disease. The war has also resulted in the displacement of tens of millions of people, with estimates ranging from 37 million to over 59 million. The War on Terror also popularized such novel concepts as the “Military-Aged Male” which allowed the US military to exclude civilians killed by drone strikes from collateral damage statistics. (See: ‘Military Age Males’ in US Drone Strikes)
In summary:
- The U.S. responded by invading or bombing half a dozen countries, directly killing nearly a million and displacing tens of millions from their homes.
- China responded with a program of deradicalization and vocational training.
Which one of those responses sounds genocidal?
Side note: It is practically impossible to actually charge the U.S. with war crimes, because of the Hague Invasion Act.
Who is driving the Uyghur genocide narrative?
One of the main proponents of these narratives is Adrian Zenz, a German far-right fundamentalist Christian and Senior Fellow and Director in China Studies at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, who believes he is “led by God” on a “mission” against China has driven much of the narrative. He relies heavily on limited and questionable data sources, particularly from anonymous and unverified Uyghur sources, coming up with estimates based on assumptions which are not supported by concrete evidence.
The World Uyghur Congress, headquartered in Germany, is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) which is a tool of U.S. foreign policy, using funding to support organizations that promote American interests rather than the interests of the local communities they claim to represent.
Radio Free Asia (RFA) is part of a larger project of U.S. imperialism in Asia, one that seeks to control the flow of information, undermine independent media, and advance American geopolitical interests in the region. Rather than providing an objective and impartial news source, RFA is a tool of U.S. foreign policy, one that seeks to shape the narrative in Asia in ways that serve the interests of the U.S. government and its allies.
The first country to call the treatment of Uyghurs a genocide was the United States of America. In 2021, the Secretary of State declared that China’s treatment of Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minorities in Xinjiang constitutes “genocide” and “crimes against humanity.” Both the Trump and Biden administrations upheld this line.
Why is this narrative being promoted?
As materialists, we should always look first to the economic base for insight into issues occurring in the superstructure. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a massive Chinese infrastructure development project that aims to build economic corridors, ports, highways, railways, and other infrastructure projects across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Xinjiang is a key region for this project.
Promoting the Uyghur genocide narrative harms China and benefits the US in several ways. It portrays China as a human rights violator which could damage China’s reputation in the international community and which could lead to economic sanctions against China; this would harm China’s economy and give American an economic advantage in competing with China. It could also lead to more protests and violence in Xinjiang, which could further destabilize the region and threaten the longterm success of the BRI.

Tiananmen Square Protests
(Also known as the June Fourth Incident)
In Western media, the well-known story of the “Tiananmen Square Massacre” goes like this: the Chinese government declared martial law in 1989 and mobilized the military to suppress students who were protesting for democracy and freedom. According to western sources, on June 4th of that year, troops and tanks entered Tiananmen Square and fired on unarmed protesters, killing and injuring hundreds, if not thousands, of people. The more hyperbolic tellings of this story include claims of tanks running over students, machine guns being fired into the crowd, blood running in the streets like a river, etc.
Anti-Communists and Sinophobes commonly point to this incident as a classic example of authoritarianism and political repression under Communist regimes. The problem, of course, is that the actual events in Beijing on June 4th, 1989 unfolded quite differently than how they were depicted in the Western media at the time. Despite many more contemporary articles coming out that actually contradict some of the original claims and characterizations of the June Fourth Incident, the narrative of a “Tiananmen Square Massacre” persists.
Background
After Mao’s death in 1976, a power struggle ensued and the Gang of Four were purged, paving the way for Deng Xiaoping’s rise to power. Deng initiated economic reforms known as the “Four Modernizations,” which aimed to modernize and open up China’s economy to the world. These reforms led to significant economic growth and lifted millions of people out of poverty, but they also created significant inequality, corruption, and social unrest. This pivotal point in the PRC’s history is extremely controversial among Marxists today and a subject of much debate.
One of the key factors that contributed to the Tiananmen Square protests was the sense of social and economic inequality that many Chinese people felt as a result of Deng’s economic reforms. Many believed that the benefits of the country’s economic growth were not being distributed fairly, and that the government was not doing enough to address poverty, corruption, and other social issues.
Some saw the Four Modernizations as a betrayal of Maoist principles and a capitulation to Western capitalist interests. Others saw the reforms as essential for China’s economic development and modernization. Others still wanted even more liberalization and thought the reforms didn’t go far enough.
The protesters in Tiananmen were mostly students who did not represent the great mass of Chinese citizens, but instead represented a layer of the intelligentsia who wanted to be elevated and given more privileges such as more political power and higher wages.
Counterpoints
Jay Mathews, the first Beijing bureau chief for The Washington Post in 1979 and who returned in 1989 to help cover the Tiananmen demonstrations, wrote:
Over the last decade, many American reporters and editors have accepted a mythical version of that warm, bloody night. They repeated it often before and during Clinton’s trip. On the day the president arrived in Beijing, a Baltimore Sun headline (June 27, page 1A) referred to “Tiananmen, where Chinese students died.” A USA Today article (June 26, page 7A) called Tiananmen the place “where pro-democracy demonstrators were gunned down.” The Wall Street Journal (June 26, page A10) described “the Tiananmen Square massacre” where armed troops ordered to clear demonstrators from the square killed “hundreds or more.” The New York Post (June 25, page 22) said the square was “the site of the student slaughter.”
The problem is this: as far as can be determined from the available evidence, no one died that night in Tiananmen Square.
- Jay Matthews. (1998). The Myth of Tiananmen and the Price of a Passive Press. Columbia Journalism Review.
Reporters from the BBC, CBS News, and the New York Times who were in Beijing on June 4, 1989, all agree there was no massacre.
Secret cables from the United States embassy in Beijing have shown there was no bloodshed inside the square:
Cables, obtained by WikiLeaks and released exclusively by The Daily Telegraph, partly confirm the Chinese government’s account of the early hours of June 4, 1989, which has always insisted that soldiers did not massacre demonstrators inside Tiananmen Square
- Malcolm Moore. (2011). Wikileaks: no bloodshed inside Tiananmen Square, cables claim
Gregory Clark, a former Australian diplomat, and Chinese-speaking correspondent of the International Business Times, wrote:
The original story of Chinese troops on the night of 3 and 4 June, 1989 machine-gunning hundreds of innocent student protesters in Beijing’s iconic Tiananmen Square has since been thoroughly discredited by the many witnesses there at the time — among them a Spanish TVE television crew, a Reuters correspondent and protesters themselves, who say that nothing happened other than a military unit entering and asking several hundred of those remaining to leave the Square late that night.
Yet none of this has stopped the massacre from being revived constantly, and believed. All that has happened is that the location has been changed – from the Square itself to the streets leading to the Square.
- Gregory Clark. (2014). Tiananmen Square Massacre is a Myth, All We’re ‘Remembering’ are British Lies
Thomas Hon Wing Polin, writing for CounterPunch, wrote:
The most reliable estimate, from many sources, was that the tragedy took 200-300 lives. Few were students, many were rebellious workers, plus thugs with lethal weapons and hapless bystanders. Some calculations have up to half the dead being PLA soldiers trapped in their armoured personnel carriers, buses and tanks as the vehicles were torched. Others were killed and brutally mutilated by protesters with various implements. No one died in Tiananmen Square; most deaths occurred on nearby Chang’an Avenue, many up to a kilometer or more away from the square.
More than once, government negotiators almost reached a truce with students in the square, only to be sabotaged by radical youth leaders seemingly bent on bloodshed. And the demands of the protesters focused on corruption, not democracy.
All these facts were known to the US and other governments shortly after the crackdown. Few if any were reported by Western mainstream media, even today.
- Thomas Hon Wing Palin. (2017). Tiananmen: the Empire’s Big Lie
(Emphasis mine)
And it was, indeed, bloodshed that the student leaders wanted. In this interview, you can hear one of the student leaders, Chai Ling, ghoulishly explaining how she tried to bait the Chinese government into actually committing a massacre. (She herself made sure to stay out of the square.): Excerpts of interviews with Tiananmen Square protest leaders
This Twitter thread contains many pictures and videos showing protesters killing soldiers, commandeering military vehicles, torching military transports, etc.
Following the crackdown, through Operation Yellowbird, many of the student leaders escaped to the United States with the help of the CIA, where they almost all gained privileged positions.

Thanks comrade! I’ll add it to my list of sources :)
Cracking article.
The text mentions maintaining good relations with Russia and Ukraine. This is something of a surprise to me. Obviously all I’ve heard from western sources is that China is working with Russia. Now, I’ve not fallen for the rhetoric that China is ‘supporting’ the invasion in the same sense that NATO is supporting unending war from the Ukrainian side. That doesn’t square with China’s foreign policy. It’s (i) projection, (ii) intended to smear China’s good name (iii) woefully insufficient to achieve number (ii).
But do you know much about China’s relationship with Ukraine? All I’ve seen is China working hard to bring the two sides to the negotiating table. That in itself is a lot, especially when NATO member states are doing everything they can to keep the war going. But is it more than that?
They’ve had good relations before the war, and they’ve retained contact throughout. I think China is trying to be the voice of reason and convince Ukraine to see sense. I think it’s possible that it will ultimately be China that brokers peace.
Yep they’ve tried to broker peace, sending humanitarian supplies but were told to their face “fuck off, we want weapons not food/supplies”.
China kept good relations with Ukraine since (except China keeping good relations with anyone they can of course) Ukraine was part important trade route to Europe and a big market for China on its own. This soured in 2021 iirc when Ukraine blocked chinese trade to force huge amounts of truck permits on Poland, so the alternate northen route was developed though Lithuania.
China have real problems with land exports to Europe since the Stupidity Belt countries are stupid and use Chinese trade as the tool for their shenanigans.
So part of the BRI is dealing with the BSI (belt of stupidity initiative).
“…but at what cost?”
Funny enough if this was a New York Times headline it would be a hit piece.
So China is just bringing peace to the Uyghurs?
Would you mind explaining why you believe China is mistreating Uyghurs so badly? What is the motivation and the end goal? Since you seem to know everything, you should be able to answer any questions.

How is Russia a bully ? They did everything possible to try and resolve the situation in the eastern Ukraine diplomatically following the coup but their efforts were consistently rebuffed. Are you even aware of the history of the conflict prior to the start of the Russian SMO ? This war started in 2014
Average liberal understanding of the war is limited to “Russia invades because they are evil, therefore Russia bad.”
It’s the other way around though, isn’t it? When you ask them why the US is in this or that country, they either defend it or tepidly claim to oppose it. Yet I’ve never seen liberals call americans orcs or call for nuking it for what they did to Iraq, Afghanistan or many others they don’t even know about. So it can’t be “Russia bad cause invaded” since they don’t apply that to worse invaders and were calling for the destruction of Russia before the invasion.
In 2014, Ukraine pretty much started this whole mess. There’s a common misconception that everything began with Russia’s involvement.
Russia is a bully. Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile.
Incredible projection.
yeah, how dare china mediate a conflict instead of blindly throwing expensive weapons at ukraine no matter what they’re being used for and who they’re being used by.

It’s mostly what the author left out like The Great Leap Forward orchestrated by Mao in the 60s that killed over 45 million people and now Xi’s goal to claim the independent nation of Taiwan through military force, both sound really peaceful. And the fact China is currently committing genocide against the Uyghurs which can be proven with unbiased news reporting and videos, not propaganda. Also the author’s use of “special military operation” instead of Russia’s Invasion on Ukraine is sad. There’s a lot more but those stuck out.
Now the US had/has its problems but saying China is leading the world in global peace is in fact, a joke. I didn’t know this was a communist instance and I’ll be sure to keep this shit off my feed.

“Now the US has its problems but [western propaganda]”, it’s always the same (or at least very similar)
It always is. And they always seem to think that it is “unbiased” to mention unrelated historical events in every single article about China, but if every article on the US mentioned all their brutal massacres, oppression and war crimes, these people would lose their shit.
I agree, I’m sick of people leaving stuff out of articles like this.
Like when the Wall Street Journal recently did an article on the US debt, I was outraged. How could they talk about that without also mentioning the brutal slaughter of native Americans, or the decades of suppression of African Americans, not to mention the slavery before that! And they don’t even mention the US’s brutal war crimes in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan either.
Such an awful, unbiased news source, whenever they talk about America they never mention every single horrible thing the US ever did!
I doubt anyone will be able to convince you not to be uncritically anticommunist, but for anyone else reading this, not even the government on Taiwan considers Taiwan a country, and neither does any other nation. See this comment for more details.
Saying “the US had/has its problems” is the understatement of the century. It’s a genocidal settler colony that has caused hundreds of millions of deaths abroad in the post-WW2 era through direct invasions, coups, crippling debt traps and various other means. Read William Blum’s “Killing Hope”.
I am interested in the videos you mentioned. Also please provide me with an unbiased news source regarding the genocide.
Can you give us any sources for these claims that aren’t Western propaganda?

Is it terrible in any sense other than it doesn’t fit your sensibilities?
I skimmed through it, it’s got a few too many single sentence paragraphs but nothing that’s not a fact.

I guess we should forget about Tiananmen Square massacre then. Or the Uyghur genocide. Cool.
I assure you, if protestors (see rioters) in any western country burned 2 police or soldiers alive, it wouldn’t end with a so-called massacre where as many security forces died as rioters. It’d be a literal bloodbath, it’d be tens of thousands of dead and it’d be far better documented than a picture of bicycles lying around and a not killed man in front of tanks leaving the square the day after. I’m not even saying the 4th June incident isn’t well documented, but you assholes don’t give two shits when the documentation doesn’t suit your preconceptions.
Also, even if you can’t be bothered to investigate the truth of the situation, even the US State dept. dropped the genocide line. If you don’t have independent thought you should at least follow direction.

Why do you believe it’s censored, other than because you’ve been told as much?
Here’s a challenge, go to baidu, look up 4th June incident. Either you’ll get nothing and I’ll have egg on my face, or you’ll get pages and pages of results and you’ll have to reconsider. I know which is true, I did it before. It gives results even if you write Tiananmen Massacre, even if the results are overall less helpful.
So how’ll it be, pal? Will you take a few minutes of your time, a translator, a vpn and a chinese search engine to test your ideas?

Then you’ll know how easy it is to access facts in both cases. I’m struggling to understand what sort of appeal to personal authority you were attempting, I suppose that’ll never be answered now.
How can you censor something that didn’t happen?
Don’t make that joke with them, that one just reaffirms their bullshit that we are all “brainwashed” or something.
Right… I am the one with preconceptions. Sure…
Everyone has preconceptions, yours are based on the illusion of western supremacy.
I can fill pages with what I did and you didn’t that gives me confidence you’re the one acting with preconceptions based on propoganda, but it’d be quite useless. So I’ll issue you a challenge as well, for your edification only. Look for western news articles on whatever crime you think China has committed, preferably something more recent, and look though the linked sources.
Seriously. While you’re taking a dump or whatever, open up an article, and check the links. A lot of them will be to other articles. After a chain of linking you might end up on a non-news page, maybe a UN thing, that references a study or report. You’ll probably have to dig up the report yourself. If you do all that you’ll find really stupid stuff, like a “study” that surveyed 8 people (yes, eight) to make the estimate that 1-3 million uyghurs are in camps. Or you’ll get to BBC saying “report says seeseepee officials want assimilation” and refer to a 50 page report that has one word that might be translated as assimilation and nothing else.
Don’t forget about them. Read up about them.
Edit: I should be clear so that I attract the right kind of down votes: if one reads up about Tiananmen and Xinjiang, they will find that the western MSM has lied to them.
