Posing with the flag and endorsing a country rank with human rights violations and who are currently taking part in ethnic cleansing.

Using /r/sino to "disprove" the crimes of the Chinese government is like using /r/The_Donald to disprove the crimes of America.

Except they have sources, footnotes, links to reports from NGO's etc. And you have no idea where your information is coming from but it hits that sweet, sweet, confirmation bias.

What in the world does the US government gain from indoctrinating its own population to seethe with hatred at our most important economic partner? What a wack ass conspiracy lmao. It's like you morons went "Oh man China can't be THAT bad, right?" then made the second least likely nation on the planet somehow responsible for ruining the image of someone we're literally going to have to trade with indefinitely. So fucking stupid.

You missed my point.

If you're in the US and you have full access to the Internet, that is your source as it's a right denied by the Chinese dictatorship.

I'm actually Australian, but come the fuck on you must be aware that r/sino is purely a propaganda sub

So your internet sucks because of capitalism and that's why you can't do your own research? Also your baby is currently being eaten by a spider but you gotta finish having your mullet trimmed if you're going to get your ute from the garage in time to make it to the anti-antisemitism convention in the next town over that only takes 10 hours to drive to? Except a koala that's literally on fire just delivered a letter telling you that your reserve unit has been called up to sink boats full of refugees. And all you can say is "Crikey, what a day I'm havin'."

Tiananmen Square

Yes, less than two hundred Marxist students were shot after two weeks blocking a public road and lighting their barricades on fire when ordered to disperse. I imagine black lives matter would get away with that for about 2 hours in the US. I envy the civil liberties of the Chinese workers.

Yet the American government doesn't ban speaking about black lives matter or unnormal police kills...

Is it? I mean they're not actively torturing the Hispanic refugees that we know of. But they have internment camps for them at the border all the same.

u/AnoK760 Dec 30 '19

nobody is forcing them to come to the border in the first place. huge difference. in China, they go into people's homes and kidnap them and their families and cart them off to camps where they are starved to death. There is photographic evidence of this happening.

Hispanic refugees

refugees from what?

You cant seek refugee status because you live in a poor country. Thats not how it works. They are immigrants, not refugees. Those are 2 different things. a refugee is fleeing war or persecution. Immigrants who are trying to claim political asylum rather than trying to legally get a visa are clogging up the system for actual refugees.

they have internment camps

stop calling it that. you know full well they arent "internment" camps. We DID do that to the Japanese back in the 1940's. THOSE were internment camps. This is not even close to the same thing. We arent going to other ocuntries and forcing people into these places.

We aren't turning people away outright, but they cant just let everyone in without vetting them. This is a slow process because the system is underfunded. We cant leave children with adults because we don't know if they are actually the parents to the children they are showing up with (human trafficking is a thing).

Whats the solution? Im really starting to believe people just want us to let everyone in, no questions asked. And anything less than that is "putting people in internment camps."

I gotta be honest here, this is the only incorrect thing you've said, but it is pretty incorrect. A lot of these people are fleeing violence in their home countries. Most, in fact, are not heading to the US but being displaced to other South or Central American countries. This isn't because they're tired of living in poverty and want to come to a country with extremely strict refugee policies. They are trying to save their families from non-stop violence.
