    Democracy: China is constantly evolving it’s democratic mechanisms, currently referred to as whole process democracy. In the West you can change the party but not the policies. In China you can change the policies but not the party.

    Incorrect Thought: yes defending the KKK with arguments for free speech is not the high minded position you think it is. Incorrect Thought includes fascism, cultism, chauvinism, and neoliberalism. Working against those things is a perennial obligation of any liberatory movement.

    Taiwan: China does not see Taiwan as a threat at all. They see the US and UK as a threat and they see Taiwan as a vulnerability. Not the least of which because the US has openly published strategy documents detailing the Pacific Kill Chain which projects lethal nuclear force at China and it uses Taiwan as the key component of that kill chain.

    Uyghurs: Uyghurs aren’t a threat, Uyghur terrorists trained by the US as part of their never ending program of training terrorists and radicalizing people - that’s the threat. Uyghurs in China who are not connected to the terrorist trainings are for the most part completely unaffected by China’s de-escalation program. And China’s de-escalation program has worked incredibly well when you look at the raw numbers of terrorist attacks Xinjiang over the last decade.
