I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not but the Chinese internet blocks certain keywords as well as IP addresses, so on pages that embedded content from blocked IPs they could stop loading, or detection of words in posts could break the connection. And yes that does include English words, like when they blocked "John Oliver"

Last year they temporarily blocked the letter N. Lol

I guess that's an aspect of it but I dont think anyone forced Chinese to like Iron Man 2 at gunpoint, the japanese to love classical music, latin americans to paint social realist murals or american film students to love Tarkovsky... or basically the entire world to embrace drinking coffee. the metropoles usually do export good culture, I'm hard pressed to think of something that mainland China has given to world culture in the last 100 years

There's basically a couple Zhang Yimou films, otherwise nearly all the films that reached the western world were censored pretty hard inside China. That said China has made some really good movies

Yeah I was thinking of that book too. But going to pre modern history or sparse, singular examples is sorta where we're at. Yeah we all are reading the roman alphabet now but that doesn't mean Italy is a huge cultural exporter (though maybe 40 years ago it was). E cigs, a few films, a book and chinese medicine in the developing world isn't a nothing either.

Just thinking Taiwan and Hong Kong have made big impacts in several realms with much less political power and population. writing movies music food... though they are on decline in that realm now too. It's not a competition it's just interesting.

Taiwan has the best guava juice, hands down.

I mean I know the answer to why they keep trying to change the subject is there were just 90+ posts of literally genocide apologia and the only way they can handle that "hey look over there" but seriously let me remind the world that Peven Stan, Typo, and Horseshoe Theory looked at Holocaust trains to concentration camps and said "heh yeah but what about ICE."

Here: ICE is bad. Abolish ICE. There we're done with that.

Now back here in the China thread, a religious minority is being shackled and sent off to camps by the millions. That is bad.

i've heard that their rights are respected tho

Just because your employer decrees it to be true doesn't mean that it is true. This isn't the cultural revolution- repeating mantras and aggressively policing the groupthink in the thread just makes western liberals look desperate. Despite all the sturm and drang, why hasn't trump commented on the alleged millions in camps? Surely he could use that as a wedge in trade negotiations?

he doesn't want to draw attention to his own growing concentration camp system op

I don't know if you are being serious (in this particular thread), but there is no gas chamber at the end of the xinjiang camps. Instead of compare them to nazi camps, you should read up on anti rightists reedcution camps. Actually CCP have done reedcution camps many times throughout its history. I can even point out camps before 49 but they were less documented and more deadly.

so as long as they're imprisoning millions of people for the purpose of erasing their language and culture rather than killing them off like the nazis did that makes it ok?

Capslock may literally be a CCP press release given human form but bloodnose is the one actually doing the conflating.

Peven Stan knew exactly what he was doing when he replied that way to bloodnose's post which mentioned that he is Jewish.

gradenko_2000 posted:

The PRC considers Taiwan to be a part of the PRC.

Hong Kong is also a part of the PRC.

In order for the murder suspect to be extradited from Hong Kong to Taiwan, HK wanted to pass a law that would allow people from one province of China (HK) to be extradited to another province of China (Taiwan).

The collective freakout that triggered the protests was the assumption that such a law could be used to extradite people from HK, to, say, Beijing, and further, that this would be used to prosecute political dissidents.

i wonder why they would worry about such a thing even though the stated reason for the law was to extradite someone to Taiwan. :thunk:

What the hell is this?

Terminal autist didn't "remember" you're Jewish. You stated it yourself this very page, while attempting to argue that the fact you belong to a certain ethnic group should give your opinion more weight, your opinion on a subject that has nothing to do with your ethnic group.

Your reply to Pevan Stan from last month (that you quoted above in response to Terminal autist) is completely inapplicable to what Terminal autist said, and you're trying to make Terminal autist look anti-Semitic when he did nothing of the sort.

And I vehemently disagree with the proposition that one's ethnicity gives them more authority on unrelated matters.

The reason being that ethnic groups are not inherently good or bad, since we all seen (and as Terminal autist pointed out) that an oppressed ethnic group can become the oppressors a mere few decades later.

I think bloodnose posted that today to show that he doesnt support genocide in israel, actually. In response to a person who made a flippant Israel comment after he posted today that he is jewish.

Correct me if I'm wrong bloodnose

correct

this is why western electoral politics is a failure, even the politician "bernie sanders" whom white western leftists worship the feet of is a neocon ghoul who is spreading neocon propaganda aimed at supporting neocon agenda. The US is a right-wing corporate dictatorship with two right wings, if you vote in an US election instead of supporting China's belt and road project you are a racist rightist simple as that.
