When having to admit their fault the moderator started looking for arbitrary reasons to ban me. Such as not using the exact terminology of the Amnesty report. Which does not call it genocide.


The moderator is also watching user votes, and calling out people not voting with him.

        I looked deep enough to see that they specifically said China was guilty of human rights abuses. Don’t try to spin shit with me, you’re not nearly clever enough.

                They said China’s foreign policy and meddling toward Myanmar was a better example of Chinese imperialism than your example. Maybe you are confused about what imperialism is?

                    Wtf is this, a tankie purity test? With respect to Myanmar, yes. But in general, much less so than any other superpower. They have used economic imperialism quite a bit, as have all economic superpowers, but that’s quite different compared to literally colonizing countries like nearly every Western state has done. They have also supported Russia’s imperialist invasion of Ukraine, So my qualified answer is yes to some degree, but I definitely wouldn’t say imperialism is one of their defining characteristics, particularly when you look at the scale of their imperialist characteristics compared to basically any western state. What they are though is highly authoritarian towards their own people, and as an anarchist that’s what I find most problematic about the Chinese state.
