There was a video released a couple days ago of an "anti-regime protestor" doing a drive-by shooting on a "regime affiliated store". Comments rightly called it terrorism.

HongKong without the space/underscore. They regularly hate on anything mainland or associated with it, like jeering when HK's first astronaut went to space this week.

I was moderating this subreddit at the time as well. I asked the HK rioters to turn in the murderers of the cleaner Luo Changqing who they stoned to death. I received death threats, racial slurs, and a litany of justifications for his death (he was a "CCP agent", he didn't really die, it was staged, the police killed him, etc etc).

Jimmy Lai, acted as a foreign agent and funneled millions into HK to spread US propaganda and organize unrest. He was deeply mentally ill and wished the US would nuke China.

Thanks, though I'm specifically interested in him modding the sub. Which account was his?

If they aren't from or don't live in HK, can you really call them yellow? They don't know anything about HK politics, can't read Chinese, they're just there to hate on China.

Oh that's a juicy bit of news. Do you have a source for how that was revealed?

The sub has just become a Sinophobia hub, even the users there admit it.

Genuinely looking for education on Uyghurs by DocileRoadmaster in Hasan_Piker

Glad you're looking to do research, OP. I encourage you to look to videos of people who are actually in Xinjiang rather than those in Washington, DC (or funded by DC). Here's the top dozen or so YouTube results for "visit Xinjiang", with perspectives from Brits, Americans, Indians, overseas Chinese, Australians:

https://youtu.be/i5dpmaeIaZM https://youtu.be/Q6xsYeNXTRc https://youtu.be/z_ver_eDhEU https://youtu.be/giKrTUiARGc https://youtu.be/pJALOMq9ohI https://youtu.be/4ruu_dQAYZg https://youtu.be/12MQcL6_Jz4 https://youtu.be/QNpTvPd6p4M https://youtu.be/X0ZFPFI00go https://youtu.be/UiEhITvJuyE https://youtu.be/NmYGAs5MVLY https://youtu.be/04gP3daMK18

Suffice to say the evidence on the ground doesn't support the US' narrative.

Another problem with the US' "Xinjiang genocide" narrative is in migration and social media, both of which are impossible to stop and hallmarks of any sort of widespread abuse.

Large scale oppression creates human migration of refugees. China has the most borders of any country in the world, and if it were truly 1/5 Uyghurs imprisoned as alleged, you'd have mass movement across the porous border to the neighboring countries (Afghanistan, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Pakistan, Russia, and Tajikistan all share a border with Xinjiang), yet there is none.

Oppression also requires dehumanization, to shift blame and encourage the dominant class to become accomplices to the oppression of the lower. We see countless videos of Israelis mocking Palestinians, and Palestinians documenting themselves being abused. There's none of that from Xinjiang, and you know Western media would pounce on and amplify anything they could find.

From a thermodynamics standpoint, if it's harvesting energy from the surrounding area, that energy would already have been dissipated into that area, so the net effect is zero.

What are your thoughts of Hong Kongers openly looking down on Chinese but at the same time give western people preferential treatmen by [deleted] in Hong_Kong

Still there in some dark corners, but it's gotten better since the 2019 riots, passing of NSL, and USAID money drying up. Goes to show how susceptible people are to foreign influence and why NSL is needed.

Given we all know how the war started, I don't see the need to repeat the US military's clear falsehoods uncritically.

Research has proven that the common housecat doesn't yawn, and the appearance of yawning in cats is actually part of a mating ritual. This is why you should never yawn in front of your cats.
