Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is continuing an act of genocide against the Uyghurs.
There is no evidence of genocide of the Uyghurs. Here is an article detailing and debunking the false allegations. https://www.qiaocollective.com/education/xinjiang?rq=Xinjiang
Unfortunately, you have been fed anti-communist propaganda.
Instead of just reactively downvoting me, actually read the article. It's exceptionally well sourced, and fits all the necessary criteria for good journalism.
Thinking that the CCP is anything but capitalist and imperialist is propaganda.
That article is a joke.
You didn’t even click the link, did you?
I did.
Then what about it is a joke?
THE QIAO COLLECTIVE AND LEFT DIASPORIC CHINESE NATIONALISM
Source: CNN, aka, Fox News II but a bit more serious. They are the same sources that denied the genocide in Gaza for so long, and are still trying to gaslight us about it. Both trying to win Trump's and half of America's approval, people who hate China unconditionally, not just the government, but the people too, unfairly, after being conditioned by movies, shows and videogames like Fallout that paint China as "always malicious, plotting something against us in secret..."
After America proved to have a critical amount of influence over Taiwan, I don't blame China for wanting to integrate most ethnic groups into one, so they don't get influenced or taken over by foreign actors ran by Jeffrey Epstein Class members like the USA or Europe. It's the same thing I feel about my country Mexico; there are so many MAGAs here thanks to republican messages bleeding in indiscriminately. I don't want "republican culture" nonsense touching my country. It sucks. I can't imagine the hatred a lot of Chinese felt when USA tried to tell them what is best for Taiwan. If USA tried to do the same with say, Yucatán or Cancún, I'd vote for more desperate measures like forcing them both to integrate into Mexican culture ASAP, before they get rotten by "American culture" which is racist as hell. I think we should be doing something like that already: get rid of absolutely all American Republicans here before they spread their bigotry. Shit is contagious.
China is at least doing it with diplomacy, unlike America, Europe or Spain, which pretty much eradicated most of the indigenous cultures here in the entire continent of America. Currently killing LGBTQ culture too, still bullying transexuals to death, or taking certain rights away from them, like taking away their specialized support in the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline so they die more easily or disassociate overtime (I'm glad it's failing, though).
You made me go and read the content of the Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law, and there's nothing in it that promoted genocide or killing. It contains clauses like:
"It obligates the government to support 'inter-embedded community environments' so that ethnic groups can 'live, study, build, share, work, and enjoy together'." "It mandates internet service providers to promptly stop the transmission of 'information containing ethnic hatred, ethnic discrimination, or other content that undermines ethnic unity and progress.'" (better than doing it on behalf of only Elon Musk and Epstein like Reddit did) "It vows to support the standardization, digitization, and preservation of minority texts." ...
I don't trust any government, I'm sure there are flaws and people in power who will not respect it like most boomers in power today are not allowing Marijuana in Mexico to be sold at all even after being legalized 2 years ago. Cops with rancor who won't leave you alone if you decide to plant Marijuana at your home, even if legal. So many people here avoid paying the minimum wage properly or in time, and get away with it too. There's also the Narco thriving and all that, because the law is weak and America keeps giving them guns to kill us with, which is also killing our culture slowly but effectively; it is stagnating it with stress, pain and hopelessness. 30,000+ Mexicans die every year just to fulfill USA's whims. We don't have that many companies dedicated to making videogames, or are as proficient in technology because people die young here, it is very difficult to focus on difficult disciplines like physics, math, chemistry, etc when the entire country is constantly on fire, you have no liberty to go outside in peace, are in constant fear... Bad economy, bad nutrition, bad experiences trying to learn, so much mental fog, so much fatigue, so much pain, this is what the USA brings forth. And they're now filling our country with immigrants, "ex-pats" that provoke a raise in prices around them, which slowly and silently displaces the poorest groups here; people who die to poverty and you never hear about them or what they had to said because they never received the chance to read more or learn more. They become another number and that's it. You just saw that "30,000 lives lost every year" and it doesn't really impact you as it should. It's a lot of wasted potential, lost to homicides caused by some capitalistic greedy pigs. I don't hear about shit like this happening in most other countries, it's mostly USA and Mexico, losing 20,000+ and 30,000+ people everyday to senseless violence that shouldn't be there in the first place.
China has its issues too, they are 4x times the size of USA after all. Organizing such a massive country is difficult, but you should learn from them. USA only has 335 million people and it's already on the risk of extinction just 250 years later after being born. China is what? 5,000 years and still going strong? That's embarrassing. The so-called "#1 country in the world" is losing against countries they deemed inferior for so long like China or India. What was the point of the war on Iran, if like other 7 countries have multiple nukes, like India, Pakistan, China, North Korea and France, countries that are increasingly disgusted by the USA every day. The big blonde bully USA only has tiny angry Israel to back it up in the playfield, lol.
This whole "China is super evil" trend feels so forced, so fake, so exaggerated, I can't trust any Western media anymore. They are the same sources that denied the genocide in Gaza for so long, and are still trying to gaslight us about it. CNN and Fox News. All of a sudden, you trust them blindly with this? You sound like Trump whenever you talk about China. It's almost as if they're doing this to give Americans something to cope with. So Americans don't feel too lonely when they are called terrorists or genocide monsters online for what they are doing in the Middle East with their taxes. They can go and rely on whataboutism and bring up China to try and make it seem like there are "worse monsters out there," but nah, nothing will beat America in evildoing anymore, that should just be left very clear already. American Exceptionalism needs to go.
Nice tribal thinking, MAGA behavior. Me receiving a ton of downvotes won't change the fact that your purpose in life is to serve the Jeffrey Epstein Class and kill millions of Latin Americans and Muslims with your taxes. China is a better alternative and influence to us than America. Period.
You let some downvotes be your "critical thinking seal of approval," man. Get real. You are so fucking easy to manipulate and take advantage of.
Dumbass doesn't even realize this is his 40 comment thread of his one sided multi-paragraph ranting slop. Seeeethe buddy
I don't care, pedophile apologist. You and the redditor mod finally sealed it up for me: American Exceptionalism benefits the Jeffrey Epstein Class. This whole movement against China is forced and fake, and if it is not, it is still nowhere close to an emergency as the USA's threat to the world currently is.
It’s pathetic the mental gymnastics people will perform to justify a genocidal state’s actions just because they like the flavor of their authoritarianism.
Says you, doing it for Israel and the Jeffrey Epstein Class instead, by promoting CNN which is known for serving those two with a fat smile on their face. I prefer China over your pedophile oligarchs. That's just the final fact the entire world wants you to understand.
It is also not genocide, you don't have real evidence of it being so. Your sources are CNN and Fox News. Get out of here. The UN hasn't called it one the same way it has with Israel. These numbers, these stories you will bring up, how do I know they are even real or not just another "BLACK PEOPLE IN OHIO ARE EATING DOGS AND CATS" type of nonsense being forced upon our throats by the same sources that denied Israel's genocide?
How do we know this is not just the average Western propaganda of dehumanizing an entire subset of people just the same way you did and keep doing with Muslims and Arabs? You successfully convinced a big portion of the world that they are all "terrorists," "inherently evil," and so on. You taught a lot of people to automatically hate brown people. All to commit genocide in the open for decades. How do we know this isn't the same thing, but aimed toward China and the Chinese? They are your biggest threat right now. Economically and technologically.
Do you think China is somehow outside the networks confirmed by the Epstein files? It's a global pyramid
Prove it
Lol the final words of a fool who has lost an argument so completely they can't even comprehend it. I didn't realize dear leader's boot leather contained brain melting chemicals. You might want to stop licking that.
So, can you prove that some important Chinese political figures are involved in the Jeffrey Epstein Files or not?
Or why the fuck are you even saying this? I won't take important claims like those lightly. I care about the truth, and you're not giving it to me. So, fuck off, you stupid random weirdo. What a dumbass way to reply, what the fuck? Did you tap on the wrong comment or something? Like, the context, the jump you made, it's so dumb. I just asked you to prove it, and you say this shit.
You are desperate to have someone to smear too? You don't want America to be the only villain? It is. America is the biggest terrorist of the world. Bigger than Russia even, and I hate both a lot. And I don't even fully trust China, I have already shared some of my criticisms
You're way too stupid to be typing this much lol. Keep digging boot licker
If you cannot prove that there are Chinese political figures in the files, if you simply shot that blindly, you are a fucking Jeffrey Epstein Class Supporter. They love idiots who show blind loyalty like you. I am not showing that, if you can give me the names, I will just distrust China more than before, who cares? The USA is still the biggest priority, they are the ones killing millions of my people in Mexico, Latin America and the Middle East too. You just want to distract people with China so that you can continue killing us in peace. Fuck you, demon.
It's going to be incredibly easy for people to prove that you are benefiting the Jeffrey Epstein Class if you keep replying like an angry brute. Is that your goal?
I don't need to prove anything to a genocide denier
What the fuck are you on about??? Where did they defend billionaires?
By promoting CNN, he's promoting a source that is known for serving the Jeffrey Epstein Class. He's normalizing it, giving it reputation. Thanks to him, people will believe CNN more often, be more vulnerable to the propaganda they subtly spread, like their anti-socialist comments about people like Zohran or recent socialist winners like Kiroz, Valdez, etc.
It's almost like they are trying to win your blind approval with headlines that make you feel good, like hating China, just so you believe them more often when it comes to dismantling socialism. I refuse to accept that. I am still open to being proven wrong about China, but not with these. You come across as incredibly untrustworthy. If anything, you're only going to strengthen positive public opinions about China if you keep relying on CNN or Fox News for these narratives.
Wow that’s the laziest argument I’ve ever seen.
All your replies are MAGA-coded: Simplistic, short, an attack to the messenger, not the message. "Wow, that's the laziest argument I've ever seen" without explaining why or answering anything. That's literally how Republicans reply online all the time.
You are likely a Jeffrey Epstein Class supporter, trying to stop people in Lemmy from using critical thinking.
Otherwise, go on and prove to us that it is really a genocide, and not just more Western propaganda to dehumanize China the same way you dehumanized Muslims so you could genocide them, you disgusting monster. It's literally your talent to justify genocides with shit that makes you sound morally superior. You are committing second-hand genocide on Mexico and the Middle East while saying you're not, so, how can we trust you with this one? How can we trust anything you say about China is even real or not, if you have gone as far as lying about your own people "eating cats and dogs" or committing crimes at rates they are really not...
I’m against all genocides.
What Israel is doing to Palestine is as horrible and as disgusting as what China is doing to the Uyghurs or what Russia is doing to the Ukrainians.
and other minorities
No, requiring Mandarin classes in schools so they have some economic opportunities in life is not an act of genocide kiddo.
Same logic as residential schools in Canada to give native Americans an opportunity by teaching them English...
Except Canada didn't, at the time, forcibly teach the local Tribe's culture as a mandatory part of the curriculum. This law requires it (as does the specific regional laws before it in starting in 2018). The only thing this law does is take the pilot program from Xinjiang and make it nation-wide, allowing all of the poorer rural regions to be taught Mandarin and basic Chinese history alongside their local cultural studies and local language, both of which have been required longer than you've hated China for allegedly doing the opposite.
Yes I know I've read your other comments. It's the same logic though which is undeniable... The Canadians used exactly the same justifications for setting up the residential schools in the first place to "solve the aboriginal problem" as they saw it. An eerie parallel to China's domestic "every other culture except Han problem" that they're solving with this.
This method is tried and true across the world and its exactly how you stamp out other languages and dilute or destroy culture whether that's the goal or not, just as a consequence of teaching the lingua franca.
The French academy is a good example. Thousands of dialects disappeared because of being required to learn "proper French" as the academy saw it. It worked, which is why there's far less variation in accents and spelling across France than the UK which took a more organic approach, inadvertently preserving some of the local accents even if the English accidentally wiped out existing dialects due to incentives surrounding employment, along with rail, telegraphy, schooling, and urbanization.
Wiping out competing dialects and cultures is a consequence of industrialization and consolidating the land you have.
Edit: more context and parallels between the residential schools and China's policy.
Trying to eradicate a people's culture is absolutely a form of genocide kiddo.
True but when you add in the sexual violence, the forced sterilization, the sexual violence and the mass murder it starts to look pretty damning.
Notice how I didn’t have to call you kiddo because my argument stand up for itself?
None of that has happened. You have been fed propaganda.
https://www.qiaocollective.com/education/xinjiang?rq=Xinjiang
You are a genocide denialist.
Look at Mr. Reactionary over here, pitching a fit because I (and the rest of the world outside of the West) disagree with his CIA-sponsored worldview.
I don’t think that point out that you’re denying a genocide is pitching a fit.
Okay, just look into what the US and Canada did with their "cultural education" program for indiginous peoples and tell me this doesn't smell the same.
