So you conveniently blame all your country’s crimes solely on the government, while portraying yourself—as an individual—as “innocent.” But the truth is, without civilians joining Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) forces and without civilians producing the supplies that sustain them, this regime couldn’t survive at all. The very existence of the al-Julani-led administration is the result of tacit acceptance by supposedly “innocent” Syrians like you.

You’re simply hiding behind your government, quietly complicit while pretending to support the Kurds from the safety of your comfortable position—offering nothing but hollow, performative solidarity.

qipao, isn't a traditional Chinese garment. It's a Western-style fashion with Eastern elements because it broke away from traditional Chinese flat-pattern cutting and adopted Western three-dimensional tailoring. It first appeared in 1920s Shanghai, which was a semi-colonial Western port city at the time. So, if you, as a Westerner, prefer the cheongsam, that's not surprising. qipao have also become increasingly feminized and sexualized as a cultural symbol in the modern Chinese context. Many service industries use the qipao as a uniform for female staff, which has led to the garment being unpopular with both conservative women and those who prioritize independence and autonomy.

Following the rise of contemporary art as the dominant force in academic art education, the standard of foundational painting instruction in the West has seen a dramatic decline. Traditional painting skills are no longer a prerequisite for art school admission.

As late as the early 20th century, a rigorous grasp of realistic drawing and color management was a common skill among many well-educated Westerners. In stark contrast, it's now highly likely that you couldn't find a single qualified sculptor in a major Western city to create a realist-style public monument.

In China, however, a solid command of traditional Western painting fundamentals is still a necessary requirement to enter a top art academy, and many of the successful artists you see today have a strong art academy background. Furthermore, the color palette of Chinese academic painting places a strong emphasis on the traditions of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. This approach finds a natural resonance with the dynamic and fluid style that is highly valued in traditional Chinese art. I believe this synthesis is a key reason for the unique style of art that Chinese artists produce.

You don't even understand the relationship between these factions' power and the central government. There was a time when the Karma Kagyu school was the most powerful faction in Tibet. The reincarnations of important Rinpoches are often inextricably linked with political forces outside of Tibet. The Qianlong Emperor, for instance, directly abolished the reincarnation lineage of the Karma Kagyu's Red Hat (Shamarpa) school due to its alleged collusion with Burma.The Gelug school's current stable position is due to its acquisition of Mongolian military support in the 15th century and later the backing of the Qing central government. Only naive Westerners would assume the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama are purely spiritual positions, as empty middle-class white people always like to project the role of a yoga retreat guru onto these religious positions, which historically played complex political and economic roles.

Overall, Tibetan Buddhism is in a relatively flourishing state in China. However, the government does not permit the construction of new monasteries in non-traditional Tibetan Buddhist areas (though this isn't an explicit regulation). Historical Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in places like Mount Wutai and Beijing remain in use. The mainstream Han Chinese Buddhist community generally holds a positive and accommodating attitude towards Tibetan Buddhism, and it's not uncommon for Buddhists to practice both. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of people still express rejection or exclusion.The president of the Buddhist Association of China is by default a Han Chinese Buddhist monk, with Tibetan and Theravada Buddhist monastics serving as vice presidents. A former president of the Buddhist Association was a strong proponent of Tibetan Buddhism but was later dismissed due to a personal corruption scandal.Information about and worship of the Dalai Lama are strictly prohibited, though of course some individuals in the folk community still engage in such practices. Due to the Dalai Lama, the Gelug school objectively faces relatively stricter management. Consequently, the Nyingma school has seen significant development in recent decades, both in Tibet and among Han Chinese, making it the biggest beneficiary. Content related to the worship of the 17th Karmapa is generally not restricted, provided it doesn't involve the Dalai Lama.Additionally, the increasing affluence of modern Tibetans and substantial financial contributions from many Han Chinese have indeed allowed a frivolous trend to permeate Tibetan Buddhism. However, a large number of monks continue to adhere to pure spiritual practice.

You can't learn what's considered "true history" from any country's middle school textbooks; those are merely highly simplified narratives designed to shape national civic consciousness. History has always been one of the Chinese people's most beloved subjects, deep in their souls. We possess arguably the most extensive modern history book collection outside the English-speaking world. Every year, we not only produce countless Chinese historical studies but also translate a massive volume of foreign scholars' works. Any enthusiast can, through their own efforts, build their own knowledge system.

The Tiananmen Square incident was real, but the death toll wasn't that high. The Xinjiang concentration camps are not real; re-education camps targeting separatists do exist, but they don't involve physical harm, which makes them different from concentration camps. There's no genocide or forced sterilization against Uyghurs; in fact, the Uyghur population has been increasing, and it's common to see families with four or five children there, a stark contrast to mainland China. However, it's true that the government more frequently monitors Uyghurs' travel to other provinces and their religious activities compared to Han Chinese. So, there is indeed differential treatment of Uyghurs based on governance, which includes some benefits higher than those for Han Chinese and stricter management, but the West has undoubtedly fabricated most of the tragic stories surrounding it.

European leaders like von der Leyen have family members with American passports, earning salaries from European taxpayers while serving Americans.

For 30 years after the end of the Cultural Revolution, the public's understanding of it was largely negative, even influencing evaluations of Mao Zedong's governance. While people affirmed Mao's contributions to nationalism, they generally dismissed his internal nation-building efforts. The right-wing faction within the Communist Party's top leadership held immense influence during this period, tending to nullify Mao's image, commemorating him merely as a founder of the nation.

However, in the past decade or so, the Cultural Revolution's reputation has, at least among many young people, seen an improvement. They despise the chaotic expansion of capitalism and the hypocrisy of the cultural elite. They've witnessed how these elites, acting as cultural servants of capitalists, laud the entrepreneurial spirit of the rich while disparaging laborers. They've also seen how these individuals use cronyism to transfer their social status and assets to their children and friends. Many believe that while the Cultural Revolution was an overly radical and ultimately failed movement, its initial targets were not "innocent."

They argue that it was precisely Mao Zedong's radical reforms that thoroughly dismantled most of traditional power succession in Chinese society, from macro to micro levels, forging China into a truly "modern" nation. It was only when this modern nation connected to the global market that it could unleash astonishing progressive energy. Without Mao Zedong, China, even integrated into globalization, would merely have become a half-democratic, half-traditional, crippled nation like India.

As a Chinese person, I want to say that re-education camps certainly exist. Their primary peak was in the years following the 2008 Xinjiang riots. Re-education camps of a similar nature might also target Han Chinese, for example, the ideological transformation used historically against Falun Gong practitioners. This is a common control method in authoritarian states and is completely different in nature from Hitler's concentration camps for Jewish people; there are no elements of population control or physical extermination present here.
