    The fact that they left out Taiwan and Tibet indicated that the repression to the Taiwanese people and Tibetans were disproven. It may also be that they are too ignorant to recall their fabricated atrocities in Tibet and Taiwan.

    the only crime the PRC committed in hong kong was being so unbelievably soft on the scumfuck rioters
    to the point that the guy who’s attempted extradition for murdering his girlfriend sparked the riots, is walking free, having never even faced trial

    The Brits didn’t want to trade silver exploited from the Americas with the Chinese so they decided to colonise India partly to brutally exploit Bengalis to farm opium to trade with instead. The Chinese refused the opium so the Brits bombed the chinese coastline till the Chinese dynasty gave up and in return the Brits annexed Hong Kong as payment for the war they themselves started, and created the Hong Kong Shanghai Corporation bank to launder this drug money, one of the biggest western banks that exists now.

    Then using a small fraction of the wealth exploited from the Chinese and the Indians the Brits allowed some of Hong Kong to develop partly as a defense against socialism to placate local rebellions.

    And now for the past few decades some folks from Hong Kong, who instead of seeing solidarity with mainland Chinese and Indians whose exploitation was used to develop their city they instead see kinship with the brutal colonisers, as some sort of ladder to reach the Honorary Aryan status. And it is these folks we are meant to feel sympathy for because another western colour revolution was thwarted while they do their masters’ bidding in spreading atrocity propaganda.

        Wait, is that not how it’s pronounced? I’ve only heard chuds say the word out loud, so if that’s not it I’d like to know how to say it correctly.

          I’m pretty sure that is how you say it properly in English. Maybe it’s different in Uyghur? It is a Turkic language. I know Mandarin has a totally different word for them that IIRC isn’t related to the word.

          I admit I’m a bit ignorant on this topic though.

            In the native language “Uyghur” the U is pronounced between an “ou” and Cyrillic У, “gh” sits somewhere between a guttural R and soft “kh/X” (voiced uvular fricative).

    Like, it has to be satire at this point, it’s so overly dramatic and stupid that there is no way that this is real

        Are you saying me burning my thousands of dollars of WoW merchandise didn’t help free Hong Kong? This is concerning. Looking into this.
