Fuck China the CCP
Fuck China the CCP
Because there’s so much anti-US propaganda on Lemmy, I feel obliged to point out:
No, they’re friends with the oppressive dictators, like Venezuela, North Korea, China, Iran, Hungary, Myanmar.
China is NOT communist.
I agree their capability has increased a lot, but i seems to me like most stuff I buy thats made in China is designed to fail.
I hate the CCP and think they’re one of the biggest threats to humanity, but China is actually doing a good job of transitioning to renewables.
Also, a lot of the coal they’re burning is to manufacture products for people in other countries. Not really fair to get upset with them making things that would otherwise manufactured in your country.
China isn’t communist.
“the polling demonstrated below 10 percent appeal for a political union with China at some point in the future, while a separate political existence from Beijing was the desire of roughly two-thirds of the population.”
Of course, and neither Russia nor China are communist.
I suspect the dominant factor is that no other country other than North Korea and Iran is willing to supply Russia with military equipment because the Kremlin is a genocidal dictatorship.
Looking at the Kremlin’s “friends,” they’re all dictatorships. China, Iran, N Korea, Venezuela.
The dystopian, authoritarian nations are sticking together in an attempt to reverse global progress towards democracy and human rights.
Russia, China, Iran, North Korea. Maybe you’ll be executed for being born gay, maybe you’ll fall out a window because you shared the truth, or maybe they’ll just shoot you for trying to escape.
They continue spreading and supporting authoritarian governments in Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America because they’re easier to manipulate than nations with rights and influence over their governments.
For nations that still have democracy they pollute online political discourse with misinformation and extremism. Divide and conquer.
Thanks for the sources. Interesting to see that “The number of new births a year has nearly halved since 2016” in China.
NATO and democracies worldwide are far behind Russia, China, and some other other dictatorships in terms of information warfare.
I hope we never find out if you’re right. The US has a cutting-edge, experienced military and would have many allies if it fought China, but China has massive industrial capacity and 4x the population. Also, China would be fighting right off it’s coast.
After they use it to mitigate the authoritarian threat from China and Russia.
Not sure Russia is a superpower anymore. Just the US and China now.
The population on China and India is still growing. Have birth rates dropped below replacement levels?
Dictatorships are collaborating (Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea) so democracies should too. We can’t just sit and hope for the best anymore. That’s not working with climate change, it won’t work to stop authoritarians.
China and Russia are working together to overthrow the relatively democratic, rules-based US-Euro hegemony. That’s why they announced their super duper special forever friendship shortly before Putin started his latest genocidal land grab.
Good. Taiwan is a country. They have a military, they make their own laws, they have their own passports, and (unlike China) they elect their government leaders.
