No one in China is ever asked what they want or what they believe in because the CCP doesn't care. China is ruled by a military dictatorship, and under that form of government the people have 0 rights and 0 say in any government policy

No one in China is ever asked what they want or what they believe in

Thousands in China were asked every single year from 2003 to 2016 by Harvard in an intensive study that they've described themselves as "nothing comparable done on this scale, over such a long period of time, and over a large geographic area"

The conclusion they found is that 95%+ of Chinese citizens are satisfied with the government

If you tell me Harvard is a Chinese propaganda institution I'll take your word for it though

Do you care about the Uyghur people China is currently trying to genocide?

Also The ban was for calling out Chinese racism against black people in Africa, so no, I don't care quite frankly

It's amazing how you people put on this fake act about caring about racism and bigotry, it's really astonishing

This is very ironic coming from someone parroting Adrian Zenz's cynical atrocity propaganda.

currently trying to genocide

This piqued my interest, since a lot of the Uyghur genocide narrative collapsed years ago to the point that even the journalists that were reporting it began walking it back.

Taking a look at who is currently reporting on "Uyghur genocide" in 2023, and it's all organisations like Voice of America, Radio Free Asia, United States Institute of Peace - basically (literal) US government propaganda agencies reporting on the US congress proceedings.

Not even the most devoted ideologue for the US state department would claim something this ludicrous. How do "leftists" arrive at this conclusion?
