The U.S. government has charged Samuel Tunick with allegedly typing in a passcode to wipe his phone before officers could search it. “I hope people understand that the charges against me are meant to intimidate people,” he said.
Just another example of the Trump admin trying to intimidate protestors using whatever the fuck they can to bring up whatever charges they can.
I’m well aware of their growth and successes in economy, technology and growing presence in geopolitics. Earlier comment from me was about human rights abuses and international law. How do China’s successes in other areas suddenly absolve their disregard for law and rights?
Same goes for the US - their military might is definitely recognized, along with their status as a superpower. This doesn’t give them the right to disregard law and rights. You seem to be biased towards China. But in terms of human rights and international law, how do they both fare?
No where in the thread has the topic of economic success come into play. Why have you suddenly inserted it like it’s relevant?
If you say that lifting people out of poverty gives them ‘points’ towards human rights, not only is this a terrible rationale, this doesn’t give them any points to then spend towards their abused in the likes of Tibet and the Uyghurs.
What human rights issues? I’m unaware of any big issues.
What international law issues? You haven’t named anything.
China is an incredibly democratic state, as socialist states usually are. China lifts not only it’s people up, but also the poor global south. The global south that is poor because of the west’s disgusting exploitative practices.
Let’s hear the garbage you heard on MSNBC.
Ah I missed the last sentence. The human rights issues that were proven false nearly a decade ago, but you liberals have real short attention spans.

Edit- here’s another. It gives you an idea on how your opinion has been formulated: https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202403/1308920.shtml
Don’t be a western sheep. Dig deep, and use critical thinking skills. Hating on creepy corpo America, but taking their propaganda at face value makes absolutely no sense.
Thanks, I’ve been reading up on the increasing cover arguments to the Uyghur discussion. However, does that also apply to their activities in Tibet?
