          This is just a link to a Wikipedia article about Tiananmen Square. I don’t understand what you think this proves.

          Western perceptions of the event are extremely flawed, and the insistence of memorializing it is honesty quite strange given your track record. Imagine if people in China made it an annual day of remembrance for that time Philly police dropped a bomb on a neighbourhood, or that time you guys murdered that whole town of black people. There are many tragic world events that you pay no mind to, yet you are compelled to condemn this one event. You should think about who’s influencing your perceptions.

          Imperialism is a word that MEANS something. Even the most uncharitable critics of Tiananmen Square do not claim it to be “Chinese Imperialism” that doesn’t make any sense lol.

            The belt and road iniative is clearly a neo-colonial policy and imperialist.

            Chinese policy in the south China Sea of building artificial islands, putting a military base on it and projecting power into other countries sovereign waters is imperialism.

            The sinicization of Tibet is imperialism.

            The persecution and sinicization Uyghurs in Xinjian borders on genocide.

              Oof, not you falling for the “Uyghur Genocide” myth in the big 2026. That is a pretty huge red flag. Hard to take your points seriously after that.

              For what it’s worth, Tibet was a slave-state before China forced them to be freed. There’s a reason you only see the benefactors of this system like the Dalai Lama promote a “Free Tibet”. They want their slaves back. Good luck to them.

              “Projecting power” is now imperialism lol. That’s the best you got. And were supposed to equate this to regime change, genocide, countless wars, atomic bombs, and endless hostility from America. Gotcha…

                Serious question. How do you know what you’ve read about China isn’t also propaganda? Are there any unbiased sources on stuff like this?

                  Because I understand how to follow sources. The Uyghur Genocide myth literally comes from 1 single source of some guy insisting it’s true. Every Muslim nation on the planet has visited China and have found no wrong doings of the Uyghur population. You don’t think it’s a bit weird that westerners rarely hold any sympathy for Muslims, yet for some reason this one specific group of Muslims in China is super important and needs your help? Western media insists you believe this fake genocide yet they have to be dragged kicking and screaming before they ever acknowledged Palestinians were being genocided. I think that says it all.

                  Or how the Dalai Lama is highly regarded in the west, yet there are plenty of more relevant eastern spiritual leaders that are ignored. It’s not a coincidence the Lama has received funding through the CIA. Most people in the East dont even know who he is, yet westerners are very familiar with him. The slavery in Tibet is not some secret.

                  Something doesn’t add up here.

                  You can learn these things by reading socialist/communist literature and joining similar communities. They spend billions fighting communism because it exposes all of this.
