A community for discussing events around the World
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.

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.
What does the UN say about the "genocide"?
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
So cnn denies the genocide in Gaza, you don't believe them. Cnn says there's a genocide in China, and you believe them without question?
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.
Ok, it seems you don't really have any genuine tangible evidence to back anything up, you just rely on headlines and vibes. You probably don't even read the article or the content itself, because it was so vague.
Thanks for showing me that you benefit the Jeffrey Epstein Class. I am done here. Witnessing another monster further getting millions of innocent people killed by spreading this type of attitude and promoting sources like CNN, is just too disgusting. I don't need this today. I've already dealt with so many MAGAs this week.
And never forget to say "What the USA AND Israel are doing to Palestine and Lebanon." Not just Israel. The USA is the biggest problem there, they are the enablers. Even the Nazis were inspired by the USA's way of handling things, like their praise for eugenics, racial segregation and anti-miscegenation laws. I wonder why?
Show me where I’ve sourced CNN or Fox once in this conversation.
This post is from CNN and you're rallying behind it like it's your big brother. Don't try to argue semantics here, man. Just own it. Are you one of those leftists who hate socialism and still think America should be the "World Police"?
We can cut the chase here and just answer this simple question: If forced to choose one to be the role model for the world, the one under the global spotlight, which one do you think would give us a better world? China or the USA? No other choice, imagine you only had those two. Which one would you choose? If you answer that, you will easily show us who you are, if you truly care about the truth and the people as you imply.
I’m not playing into your false dichotomy.
I knew you couldn’t show an example because you’re imagining reason to get upset about.
So, your answer is obviously the USA, no? You really think the USA is still a better place than China. Great. Goodluck with that stance in the next decade. You better learn Mandarin, brother. There's a reason the rich in your country are doing that.
Dude, I already told you this post is from CNN and you are defending it. That is no different from promoting it, or using it as a source. You are defending an argument made by CNN, that's reason enough to be upset about, because their messages have gotten millions of innocent people killed. As I said, Mexico keeps losing 30,000+ people to gun violence thanks to people who blindly support claims made by your media without digging a little further at all. Not even two scraps on the dirt with your nails. You just read the headline and that's it, you think it's 100% "correctly true."
You will never have real conviction or passion for what you fight for, because you've never been as close to Death as we have. I have seen you in Lemmy for like 2 years now, when Reddit banned APIs. You have a reputation here for being disruptive or controversial, but I never expected you to be like this.
I didn’t give you an answer because the real world is more complicated and nuanced than the question you asked.
Again you’re just making up reasons to be mad at me.
You made a big claim, that China is committing genocide, and you refuse to answer why or prove it. You made me go and read the goddamn law, because I am genuinely curious to see if it has holes that can be abused to kill or commit cultural genocide, but I found contradictions, which you're refusing to address, and instead reply like a child.
The question is meant to show if you're capable of measuring something as simple as evil vs good at its basic level. The fact you'd choose USA to be the influence of the world tells me you still have a lot to learn about it. It also shows if all this hatred for China is fake or not. If it's a dick-measuring contest instead of genuine activism.
You just proved that you don't really care about the things you preach. You are the lazy one not writing enough about something so important like genocide and the lives of thousands. You probably think people who write paragraphs like me are "schizos" or mentally ill. I keep getting those replies every time I talk about these things, including something as important as the genocide in Gaza. People would literally respond like you, "wow, that's super lazy," "the world is more complicated than that," "you are making shit up just to hate Jews"... You can't do justice to these things with one or two sentences like you're doing it.
I didn’t choose either because while China is genocidal America isn’t being its best self right now either.
Again this is something I’ve never said but you’re making up to get mad at me about.
I do believe that part of effective communication is being short and concise.
Effective at wasting time, yeah. Still refusing to prove how China is genocidal.
Thank you. It is people like you that make me support China more than the USA, despite its flaws. That won't stop me from criticizing it, but, to see so many of you handling these topics like this, no thank you.
Calling China genocidal, and America "not at its best right now" lmao. Insane subliminal whitewashing. Dude. Prove to us that you actually care about the truth and the people and tell us if you agree with this or not: "America's government is a terrorist. America and Israel are genocidal and have been for decades while successfully gaslighting most of their populations about it."
I have spoken to Chinese people, and they disagree with you on that, about communication having to be short and concise. They always show the attention and care to give you a complete full answer that addresses as much as they can, because the topic merits it, we are talking about genocide. It deserves more respect than some stupid ass childish replies like "wow thats the laziest argument ive seeen" or cheap gotchas like "show me where did I source CNN" while defending a CNN talking point, lol.
You were never short and concise with anything of value. You only repeated yourself and kept calling China genocidal without really proving it. The UN doesn't even agree with you the same way it does about Israel or Ukraine. So, who are you doing this for, really? It only appeals to the MAGA and Blue-MAGA crowds, literally.
Are you going to address the part where you are making up things to be mad at me about?
You only reinforced people's belief that all of this hatred toward China is so fishy. After all the lies Western Media has spread before, we should trust them with this because..? I'm not discarding the possibility of China committing genocide, but I am highly skeptical of you and your sources after the reputation you culminated and keep culminating by responding like this instead of answering the important questions. It's so easy to make a "Cultural Integration" sound like "Cultural Genocide," you just have to convince people like you that China will disappear those cultures after integrating them, but the law explicitly says it plans to conserve their texts, teach their languages and so on. Since you don't respond to any of this, and judging by the maturity of your responses, people will be forced to imagine that you will just dismiss that with something lazy like "they always lie" and nothing else. But guess we will never know, because you care more about yourself, not these genocides.
To be honest, it is thanks to people like you that thousands of my people in Mexico, Gaza and Lebanon are dying. You sound like you are funded by AIPAC. My grand-grandpa came from Lebanon, he had to escape it because of Israel and the US. Almost 100 years later and shit hasn't changed. And what I come across online is a fucking piece of shit asking "Are you going to address the part where you are making up things to be mad at me about?" and not answering the cries of those thousands of dead people. I am not making shit up, this is who you are, someone who ignores the important questions and instead wastes time with short replies like those. Disgusting demon.
If you're a human, and not funded by AIPAC, you'd agree with that statement so easily and quickly. But you're avoiding it just the same way democrats funded by AIPAC do when asked to condemn actual genocides committed by actual terrorist States, like the USA and Israel's genocide on Gaza and Lebanon. And because you do that, it's harder for people to trust you when you talk about other genocides. That's part of my main point. Your reputation is so rotten, to the point that everything you hate must actually mean it's something good. As you can see, I keep repeating that I am open to the possibility of China committing genocide, but I can't trust Western sources alone, especially CNN and Fox News, after watching endless hours of them showing their true colors for the past 2 years.
I feel like I could also just bait your true intentions here, your true values, if I asked you if you know and have an opinion on someone like Hasan Piker. Do you know him? Do you have an opinion of him?
Do you really think that if I’m funded by AIPAC that I’m going to say Israel is a genocidal nation just like China?
Why did you omit America again?
It's the USA and Israel. USA being the worst, because it armed Israel. The USA happily designed, forged and created the bombs, missiles and bullets used to blow the heads of some poor children in Yemen, Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc off, effectively creating further rancor and ire down the line, so that they can do it again 20 years later under the disguise of "freedom." Hamas exists thanks to the USA. Hamas is made up by the orphans they left behind after they bombed them decades ago. Why are you omitting all this important context?
