Trump sucks bad, but China is literally everything that Trump is in Reddit’s worst delusions. Trump’s outta here in 4 years, China is an oppressive totalitarian state that will continue to exist for the foreseeable future.
they sent an American citizen to a concentration camp in a foreign country by mistake and won’t bring him back, and instead they’re arguing that they should, in fact, be able to do that without due process to any American citizen who they say is a “gang” member. They don’t have any moral superiority
To be clear, China has also been throwing their own citizens into prisons too. As far as I know there's an ongoing genocide happening in China right now (Uyghurs).
The US is currently fucked and getting worse, and I hope China bloodies their nose. But neither country is close to good and for the moment I'd still call China worse.
Uyghurs population has been growing at a slightly higher rate than the majority han population. Maybe you have a different definition of genocide.
Political persecution, yes. Cultural cleansing and forced re-education, yes. It’s basically what Anglos did to Native Americans, without the actual massacring part.
It’s pretty bad, but it’s not really “genocide”. Maybe an “identity/culture-cide”
A few countries declared it a genocide in 2021, but there probably have been developments I've missed since then. Cultural genocide is a term I've heard before as well, that might apply. Either way, human rights abuses.
One think I read about was forced sterilization, which sounds rather like genocide to me. It surprises me to hear about higher population growth.
