Regarding your source for the claim of Mao as a sex abuser, The Private Life of Chairman Mao by Li Zhisui, here's what Wikipedia has to say:
The about this site section of factsanddetails.com is also especially concerning:
In other words, hearsay is totally fine and allowable information.
In other words, near-exclusively western media, with no alternative perspectives whatsoever.
In other words, the site maintained lived in the heart of the US, and found sources directly from the US state department.
As for Taiwan, their own self-described title is the Republic of China, who do not claim independence from the mainland but instead sovereignty as the self-percieved legitimate government of the mainland as well as Taiwan. Saying "Taiwan is not China" is actually against Taiwanese identity. The question isn't whether or not Taiwan is Chinese, but whether the government in Taiwan or Beijing is the legitimate government of China.
As for Hong Kong, as of 2019 (the latest polling) only 17% want independence from the mainland. Hong Kong was already freed from British colonialism, and has now been returned to China as the era of colonialism has ended.
There's no actual polling data concerning Tibet that I can find. However, prior to the intervention of the PLA, Tibet was a feudal slave society with rampant sex abuse.
The taiwan thing is literally just a social pretense to allow mainland china to "save face". There are extremists that actually want the taiwanese government to rule all of mainland china, but that's just not the popular opinion.
Well it's true that saying taiwan is not china is a bit funny though, but in context anyone with basic readinf comprehension should know what is meant.
The tankies are coming in hot with wikipedia sources. It's also fucking hilarious that you're like "I can't disprove tibet wants independence so I'll just call them all savages and pedophiles while sourcing the sketchiest website in history. Bro get Maos micropenis out of your mouth and stop licking boots.
Edit: .ml should have known lmao you're a cancer
Used to be you actually had to scratch the Liberals...
Fuck you and your fascist instinct to dehumanize anyone providing information that creates a cognitive dissonance against your billionaire funded narratives.
Another one! Get fucked tankie ✌️
Day will come when leftfascists and rightfascists hang in a perfect harmony
I don't like Wikipedia as a source, but it's generally accepted as the standard for liberal academia. If a source criticizing communism or communist figures is disputed even among Wikipedia, then it isn't a good source, most likely.
As for the bit on Tibet, I'm fully capable of admitting when I do not know something, unlike the person I replied to. However, I said the exact opposite of calling Tibetans "savages and pedophiles." I called the feudal slavers as such, just like I would be comfortable calling the plantation owners of the south pedophiles and torturers. Dr. Michael Parenti painted the Tibetan serfs not as pedophiles and savages, but as people with their own agency in actively opposing their own torture:
As for the site I linked, it's not the source. You can read the source on Duke University's website, I just linked the site I did because I prefer to link text over PDFs. Dr. Michael Parenti isn't some random person, but was a university professor and academic.
I have no idea why you attacked me with homophobia at the end, certainly you're capable of insulting me without resorting to bigotry. Same with immediately dehumanizing me as cancer.
That sounds a lot like what Amnesty International is saying that China is doing to the Uighurs today:
https://www.amnesty.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Amnesty-International_China-Report_FINAL.pdf
It doesn't, actually. Have you read the report yourself? I recommend reading what Uyghur people actually have to say, as well as researching the validity/invalidity of the allegations. There's absolutely no evidence of anything even close to approaching the kind of torture the Tibetan serfs and slaves dealt with.
it's hard to trust the word of Chinese/Uyghur people when the Chinese government is famous for suppressing information and "disappearing" people they don't like. So western sources will have to do
I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on Ukraine and Palestine. Im certain they are sane.
I want a one state solution where Palestine is free. I want the war in Ukraine to end, with self-determination for the people in Donetsk and Luhansk and an end to the lives lost.
They killed all the people who wanted to remain in Ukraine.
Oh that's a new one! You'd think that in the era of livestreamed genocides we'd see this in internet and media?
They both seceded in response to the president they elected getting couped, then a civil war emerged. The people of the Donbass have the right to self-determination, not state repression.
Do the people of Taiwan have the right to self-determination? Recent polling says they want it. If so, doesn't that make China wrong for not giving it to them?
BS
So fucking funny to see folks scrambling to bury the Facts and Logic Post. There is simply no stomach on this site for anything but Western Jingoism, when it comes to a country on the big list of National Enemies.
The crazy thing is they are the same people who are the first to complain about living under capitalism on places like r/antiwork. Everyone can see that capitalism is the problem, yet so many people have a diamond-hard mental wall up against the idea that the capitalists might lie about their biggest enemies.
The only people that think China and the West are enemies are the Chinese people, because the Chinese leadership has to keep telling them that while they reap all the profits of their labour.
Sometimes I forget that Americans exist. Then people like you pop up and remind me.
The United States government, since the mid-1800s, and especially since their pets committed genocide in china in the 1940s, has spent more money spreading sinophobia than on propaganda against any other nation. https://www.jstor.org/stable/48823948
People will really believe the sketchiest, most clearly NED influenced sites blindly if it means confirming their preconceived notions.
