(Btw I think there is a difference between Canadian residency schools since Canada wanted ( or seemed like it did at least ) to eradicate the identity of native peoples entirely but China wants Uyghur identity to follow a heavily codified form.)

this seems like splitting hairs

I remember weibo blew up over some chinese international student who gave her commencement speech about how living in the US was way better than China

But I was thinking if some dumbfuck american went to france and said 'vive la france' or w/e you'd never hear about it because who gives a gently caress

If you criticize the US we just ignore your rear end, we'd never write some dumb whataboutism letter unless it was actually a sick burn & I think that's real power

the sensitivity to criticism and need to 'do something about it' is showing a lot of insecurity

I think if you're genuinely interested in global cooperation and resisting the US you don't care about "real power" (read: imperial power) in those terms anyway

I don't get it; eliminating poverty is very good, as is controlling covid better than anyone else (except maybe Taiwan?), but cracking down on journalism is bad and can be called bad. The Washington Post article is, however, pretty terrible:

"I first came to Kashgar in 2006 as a tourist, crossing the border from Kyrgyzstan. I remembered it as a magical place of Uighur people who looked Central Asian and spoke a Turkic language written in Arabic script, as a city of fresh figs and kebab smoke and a rowdy Sunday animal market, as a surprising and enchanting destination that just happened to be within China's borders"

She talks about it like she wandered onto the set of Aladdin and is sad that's no longer the case; the editors need to learn to spot orientalism when they see it. Calling the bad reporter a "spy" is a bit much.

if I wandered onto the set of Aladdin I would be sad if, when I went back, that were no longer the case

How can a consulate turn away a citizen?

quote:

Friends of Hong Kong, which describes itself as defending �rights, freedom and democracy� in Hong Kong, said Chung contacted the group in October, wishing to petition the U.S. government for asylum. The group spoke to The Post on the condition that the other four who sought refuge at the consulate were not named.

probably just a lie

In policy recommendations for the nation�s upcoming five-year plan, released on Tuesday, the Communist Party�s Central Committee called for deepening mixed-ownership reform, and it particularly vowed to promote the market-oriented reform of energy, railway, telecom and public utilities.

having these sectors be market-oriented sounds kind of lovely and bad, or am I misunderstanding what this means?

From China's perspective they are still a "peripheral state" but they are using that exploitation to their advantage.

who is China peripheral to wrt the RCEP

ofc this free trade treaty is not a bad thing, it is mostly a geopolitical maneuver by china to pull much of Asia closer to it and reduce American imperial influence and will mostly materially benefit the countries involved. but i dont understand why the need to pretend it is socialist.

will it mostly materially benefit the countries involved or will it mostly materially benefit capitalists

As far as the current Chinese economic model, you don't need to call it "State Capitalism", because it's distinctive enough from any other country. You can call it "CPP Capitalism" or Dengonomic or whatever roll off the tongue better. In fact the State Capitalism branding was from the international capital (The Economists Magazine)

I call it "crapitalism"

it just seems premature to me to say that they 'own' the means of production within the country when state firms are still a huge proportion of employment and the party can take any private firm away from the capitalists with a snap of their fingers if they wish.
