Well there sure has been enough propaganda being pumped out by China to make that bit of a positive bump.
The Chinese government sucks and anyone who needs a reminder just look up what they did to the Uyghurs.
Just becuase the American government also sucks it doesn't make China's government suck any less.
What they did to the Uygurs according to america and their western lapdogs lmao
Yeah all China did was erase their culture "re-educate them" which is some Orwellian shit and as a bonus they steralized a fuck ton of them. I am not a western lapdog but you sure are deepthoatin China's dick ya troll!
China had a problem with violent Muslim extremism in Xinjiang 25-40 years ago.
China started reeducation camps for them.
The US has spent decades bombing and murdering Muslims creating more extremists.
Which one is a better response to violent religious extremism?
yea that's what france did to my grandma and what the nordics did to the sami.
Guess what, nobody got bombed. Comparing that to what's happening in gaza is disguisting and wrong.
You voted for a genocider, you stupid ass bitch. I knew people in lebannon who died a few weeks before your disguisting country's elections. I hope you see your loved one bombed with white phosphorus so you can hear their scream as their skin's peeling off. Piece of shit
I am half lebanese you jackass. I didn't vote for Trump, most of America didn't and currently he has like 25% support.
There were WAY TOO MANY Middle Eastern Americans that voted fpr Trump due to a propaganda campaign that claimed he would do better with Gaza than Kamala. You have no idea how mamy of them I tried to convince not to vote for Trump.
Quit looking at Americans as one single individual.
It's very tiresome to see Americans turn a blind eye to concentration camps in their own backwards while claiming some moral imperative to liberate Xinjiang.
Or Venezuela. Or North Korea. Or Cuba.

It's most often a fallacy used for covert victim-blaming. Like "ok he beat up his wife but she's annoying".
Or "ok israel is bad but what about hamas"
Crazy how the US can sponsor the bombing of UNRWA relief workers, then spin about and complain that Hamas isn't letting aid in.
I am not doing that dipshit. You are doing the exact thing I was just talking about. Yes America is a shit show right now that doesn't magically make the Chinese government not suck.
America has concentration camps and is arresting innocent adults and children and filling those camps. It's terrible and it does nothing to make China's government suck less.
This is Whataboutism!
Whataboutism! Whataboutism! Whataboutism!
Help me. I am a 8 year old boy living in the illegitimate Yankee Capitalist regime. President Xi, our shelves are empty and we are hungry. I am asking you to liberate my state of Connecticut with your Chengdu J-20 Stealth air superiority fighters and your Dongfeng 41 Missiles.
Whataboutism is saying how evil America is and acting like that makes China less bad. Every asshole in these comments acting like China is "less evil" than the United States is barfing out whataboutisms.
Trump is a pedophile. This doesn't make China suck less it just makes America suck more.
Aaaaah! My mistake. I didn't realize Whataboutism was America specific. All this time I thought it was a generic rhetorical technique where you try to deflect the blame for your own country's missteps by insisting any other country was worse.
But apparently America is exempt. Perhaps even... exceptional? Is there some kind of American Exceptionalism at play here? One in which America is beyond criticism?
Okay, but what if the Chinese economy promotes things Americans desire - green alternative energy, public health care and education accessible to residents without respect to income or ethnic background, a near totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry following the collapse of the landlord-backed government?
Would that make China suck less?
America's just mad because they build de-radicalization camps instead of labeling them terrorists and genociding them.
I hear yah, but how do you deal with a radicalized portion of your population? If the US built camps for MAGA I'm sure the world would understand.
What they did according to debunked "eyewitnesses" and anti-communist funded media.
Lemmy is so full of propaganda I'm getting tired of blocking.
