I guess we don't count Xinjiang and Tibet because everyone's already used to them being part of China
Imperialism only comes from the imperial region of the US, if it's from China it's sparkling liberation
The People's Boot!
The imperial valley is not in the Empire State… where do they grow imperialism?
Or any other minority in China

But don't worry, some dutch guy from mom's basement living on welfare will tell us that it's not what it looks and it's actually good for unified diversity of all people
Just read the actual law that Reuters is talking about. It explicitly guarantees minority language rights among a variety of other protections for ethnic minorities. Acting like teaching mandarin is imperialism is absurd. It’s a constructed language designed to be the lingua franca of China. Even most Han Chinese do not learn mandarin as their first language.
Lmao this is cultural genocide 101. I know because soviet union did the same to my country under the same absurd language like "unity" and "greatness". Even if you are delusioned here you have to admit these are almost satire levels of red flags, no?
It would be a red flag if the law interfered with the many regional laws that mandate minority languages be taught in schools. This law does not do that at all. It explicitly guarantees the right to learn and use minority languages. To compare it to the cultural genocide of settler colonial countries that enforced language bans with violence and brutality is ridiculous.
Also don’t just apply whatever context you’re familiar with onto China. You’re severely underestimating the amount of cultural and lingual diversity in China. As I said before, Mandarin is a constructed language that was developed relatively recently, very unlike Russian. The vast majority of people in China do not learn Mandarin as their first language. That includes most of China’s political leaders. You’re basically trying to suggest that these people want to destroy their own regional languages and culture which is just absurd.
Man could you be more spineless and subservient or are you a bot? Central government says it's time to abandon your local culture for "great unity" and you bend over and take it. You don't see a problem here? Maybe it's good you guys are contained in your basement dwelling .ml just stay there and never leave please
What does Lebanon have to do with China destroying domestic minorities? What are you even on about
It's a pretty big meme amongst people who actually experience horrors of communism that prominent tankies are as far removed from real communism as possible e.g. mom's basement in an extremely privileged west europe/us doing nothing but armchair analysis without actually contributing anything else.
Yes it was pretty bad. It's well documented, you should try reading.
Why do you think it is bad for the Sami to use the Dutch language? Why is it bad for the Cherokee to use English? Why is it bad for the Zulu to use Afrikaans?
I guess we don't count the Confederate States of America because everyone's already used to them being part of the USA.
Me when whataboutism
It's about hypocrisy of China bootlickers such as you. But I guess if you could understand the difference, you wouldn't be a bootlicker
Yet another example of how "whataboutism" just means, "trying to apply consistent standards and definitions instead of favoring Western countries."
Do you really think that using an analogy is whataboutism?
I mean if we're reaching that far back we should probably talk about all the states that used to be independent now a part of China. Let's just say that unification wasn't a peaceful proccess and involved a healthy amount of geneocide.
