    I get why government opposing china would, what I dont get is regular people who are serious about this. Sure there is the propagandized herd, but even some smarter people I know seem to have weird sinophobic preconceptions about this. All europeans.

      regular people from the imperial core want things to stay as they are because the current status quo benefits them more often than not.

      The Euros on here are crazy, over on dbzero Germans are trying to convince me that it was good for their green revolution to destroy their nuclear power, destroy their largest source of fossil fuels, and that evil Russians destroyed their green industrial capacity and made them sanction China’s green industry

        Yeah I second that my german friend seems by far most against china, hes quite educated so especially on taiwan he conceded the international law, but idk why german media is so biased on this.

      Hong Kong turned out totally fine after that went back to China right? So much freedom of speech and movement over there now.

        Now they are no longer ruled by a racist monarchy on the other side of the world. Finally. Death to the gammon empire

        Ah you’re still jerking off to those protestors burning people alive are you? Reddit during the heyday of the Hong Kong riots was probably your gig

        Well what exactly did they lose? (im aware of the repression, but what exactly do you mean) Not to say this is completely legal. The western backed protests did their part, make cpc look bad. But compared to LA for example shooting with rubber of foreign journalists, holding a protester down and repeatedly trampling him with a horse, unmarked ice illegaly detaining brown people. Common argument i read was that these illegals and aliens should not behave like this in MY country. Freedom of speech. Meh I agree western democracy is different.
