Lots of Chinese citizens come to the US to study. Look into the Confucius Institute (孔子学院). Many (probably most) universities in the US have partnerships with them (which has led to many conspiracy theories by paranoid people).
Chapter 10 in this book gives lots of examples of political repression in US where activists have been harassed, arrested, and even assassinated by the state archive.org/…/DemocracyForTheFew16147062951821
The fact that you think US government doesn’t do these things says a lot about the effectiveness of western brainwashing.
“Everything that isn’t my view point is propaganda”
Cool 1984 tactics buddy, propaganda sadly still has a real world definition for which my calling out your apathy to a scenario (fictional or not) is most certainly not l m f a o
I know you feel like you’re right and justified rn (or maybe you’re just another furry avatar troll) but you look like an absolute prick to everyone else.
Okay but I’m literally a communist, like??? Do you think I feel bad for the suffering of wealthy idiots with giant godamn jet skis who declare themselves enemies of communism?
Look. We’re entering the next Cold War, and it’s probably going to go hot this time.
China is no longer communist. At all. You got your private property, private economy and the list goes on.
While I agree that a ‘pure’ Marxism application leads to dictatorship, it’s still an interesting ideology responsible for most of social progress in Western Europe for example (look up what role commies had in liberated France and what laws they put into place : we’re talking health care, paid leave, etc…)
China’s a technocratic dictatorship, if you have read Marx, you KNOW he’s rolling in his grave thinking about how China twisted his works.
Eh, kinda yes but really no. Communism always leads to autocracy, which again always leads to genocide. So saying communism doesnt lead to genocide is splitting hairs and doesnt really help with preventing genocides
That shirt is giving big “Fuck Trudeau” vibes. It’s funny how libs who claim to be leftists will cheer on Chinese right wing extremists (Kwon Pyong) just because “China bad”.
More retarded Tankie propaganda. You will never find a legitimate source that backs up your claims.
From the sites “About” page
The second objective is to develop a correct theoretical line in particular… In short: pro-Stalin (against historical nihilism, anarchism, etc.), pro-China (for their chosen road of Reform and Opening Up and against “Maoism” and Sinophobia), and pro-“identity politics” (for a broad understanding of class and against the idealization of “patriotic white workers” as the revolutionary subject, etc.). We consider the populist strategy of courting brittle and ineffective “united fronts” by leaving serious questions of principle unaddressed a mirage.
Good one. If only you had bothered to click the link in my comment, you would see a well sourced article that does in-fact thoroughly debunk this propoganda that you’ve internalized so much.
There’s more, but if you’re not willing to even consider that you’ve been lied to about this event, then there’s really no point in me putting in any more effort.
He wasn’t wanted. He was a free citizen leading a normal life after he was in prison for inciting violence against the government for spreading messages that Xi is equivalent to Hitler and participating in Tienanmen revisionism to glorify that time when students violently attempted to create a counter-revolution and killed 200 soldiers while the US cheered them on hoping for another color revolution.
So after that he decides to pull a publicity stunt that he absolutely didn’t need to do and what he chose to do was flee to South Korea, a US military vassal state that literally just asked the US to station tactical nukes on it.
This guy is as right-wing reactionary as they come.
I lived there and experienced it firsthand. All residents of China must apply to travel within China. These days it’s mostly automated and quick for convenience, but you will be monitored at various checkpoints in the system.
For the most obvious example, you must register with local police within 24 hours of arrival in your destination, a service hotels usually provide free. This means that you must present your travel documents to check in to all hotels. This applies to all people, not only foreign individuals. Moreover, all lodgings are not legally registered to host foreign guests. So there are many hotels that non-Chinese people cannot even stay in.
Lol you lemmygrad people hate hearing from people who have actually lived and worked in China.
If he tried to buy an airplane ticket it’s possible he would have been denied. Riding a jetski across open ocean is pretty dangerous and not preferable. Also, there’s no guarantee that you will be allowed entry to your destination. Risky move all around. Especially because the Korean island of Jeju has visa-free travel for Chinese passport holders. So maybe it was a stunt but… Risky move.
Oh speaking of passports, China stopped issuing new passports in recent years. I am not sure if they started back, but it was definitely an issue during the Shanghai COVID lockdown, as rich Chinese people were trying to leave and lay low elsewhere. It’s possible that the guy’s passport expired and he had no way of traveling by air.
Lol you lemmygrad people hate hearing from people who have actually lived and worked in China.
No it’s very interesting actually, when it’s relevant. You claimed that Chinese people didn’t have freedom of movement, then went rambling on about how Chinese people do have freedom of movement.
If he tried to buy an airplane ticket it’s possible he would have been denied.
You just pulled that out of your ass though, didn’t you?
Riding a jetski across open ocean is pretty dangerous and not preferable.
But it gets you in the news. It was a stupid gimmick and you know it.
So maybe it was a stunt but… Risky move.
So we’re in complete agreement.
China stopped issuing new passports in recent years.
I mean, it’s obvious that you have no idea WTF daily life is like in China. I just ran down a list of possibilities and explained how travel works in China and you just posture like a bratty toddler.
Why do you feel a need to knee-jerk glorify and defend a nation-state you’ve never lived in or associated with? I didn’t even badmouth the place, simply described a facet of life in China without hyperbole
You have a bizarre definition of freedom of travel
Although I suppose on a grander scale, nobody truly has freedom of travel. But it’s rare for citizens of a nation-state to need to be granted access to other cities and provinces… So on a relative scale, they don’t. I’m not sure how you can say otherwise 🤔
Your only defense to everyone in this thread has been “what I can’t hear you”
I’m the child though lmao. You’re a dog shit troll and tankie to boot, you aren’t going to be able to successfully insult or hurt my feelings dude sorry. Just who you are.
Lmao, way to skip over the atrocities that occurred for the thousands of years prior to 1776 lmao
But yeah people in power have been committing disgusting acts of violence since the dawn of time.
Wanna talk about war crimes committed by countries? No problem dude. Let’s start with the Middle East suicide bombings, 9/11 then we can move on to Chinese concentration camps for Uyghurs. Russias current war crimes etc etc etc.
Countries aren’t the problem it’s the people in power across the globe.
heres the very beginning of the linked article that you’re asking about: The jet-ski escapee is Chinese rights activist Kwon Pyong. He had posted pictures on social media mocking Chinese President Xi Jinping, and spent time in jail in China for subversion.
"While his means of entry into South Korea in violation of the law was wrong, surveillance of the Chinese authorities and political persecution of Kwon since 2016 are behind his life-risking crossing into South Korea," Lee said.
"He is now weighing whether to apply for refugee status in South Korea or choose a third country," he said.
Well, that's nice. Glad they don't even consider sending him back or something. Hope he gets out of this well.
You are correct. Braverman and Sunak are appealing the decision by the Court of Appeal because they're inhuman but so far no one has been sent to Rwanda just yet.
They’ve also said they want to take away our human rights laws and leave the ECHR. Once they take away all those pesky human rights we’ll be all set. I, for one, am sick of all these fucking humans acting as if the human societies that humans built should serve humans and protect humans and encourage humans to prosper. Humans rights? Makes me sick. Can’t wait to get rid of them and show these humans who really matters, the people really in charge: [character limit reached]
That’s literally what concentration camps are. Points where you “concentrate” a population you’re trying to control.
Outright murdering the people you have in them was a Nazi death camp thing, but the Brits were probably most famous for using them before that while attempting to suppress colonial rebellion.
You joke, buy people have been pointing that out for decades now. There is a reason the term Ghetto is still a common descriptor for these areas to this day…
If there apartment seems like a concentration camp then it is likely subsidized housing, which is statistically likely to be part of a ghetto.
I have nothing against high density, living… the top commentor said their apartment feels like a concentration camp, and my point is that it essentially could be.
We’re talking about the existence of of the camp here, not how it will be expected to run.
Are you questioning the existence of the camp on the fact this is a torygraph article.
Bibby Stockholm has been in the news recently, i would consider that a concentration camp too. Temporary structure in which asylum seekers are to be concentrated
