U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday called China a "ticking time bomb" because of its economic challenges and said the country was in trouble because of weak growth.
Omfg you people really spam every China related thread on our site huh? Forcing us to endure seeing your annoying asses at every corner, is there no way to block every hexbear user?
Telling someone they suck a man’s dick as an insult is pretty basic homophobia. Unless you meant it as a compliment, then by all means I hope gets his knob schlobbed for all his hard work.
i think it’s almost more like ancient greek style “bottom-phobia”, like the point is we’re supposed to think it’s bad to receive. but the child rape apologist was also probably misgendering me in their mind
We’re all sinners, what’s your point? You can be a mass-murderer, but as long as you accept Jesus he’ll welcome you to His kingdom in open arms. That’s the beauty of Christ.
Your tone is that of a teenager and I suspect you do not know how to define state capitalist, or alternatively you don’t know as much as you think about the Chinese economy.
What is it with the homophobia and misogyny? Do you understand that using deepthroating is accusing someone of being the receptive participant in the sex act, and that cultural norms expect that person to either be a woman or a gay man? Do you understand that you’re trying to insult someone by accusing them of being a woman or a gay man engaged in a sexual act that you apparently find to be demeaning or shameful? I mean, like, okay, Catholic, so hating queer people and women should be assumed, but are you actually aware you’re doing it or is it just a reflex?
It’s a common fucking expression. You’re overthinking it. You never say “this sucks?” Give me a fucking break and stop discriminating against my religion.
What makes it spam? We’re invited to lemmy.ml, it shows up on our homepage the same as it does yours (probably even higher because instances more likely to downvote or ignore political posts don’t link with us atm).
If you meant flooding, it’s not that either. We’re a big instance (1k users weekly) with a general interest in politics and a historical anti-lurking culture, so we’ll be disproportionately active in political threads compared to a general instance like lemmy.ml, just like programming.dev is in tech threads. Are we meant to just not share an opinion because too many other people in the same instance already posted their (different) opinion?
Ngl the anti lurking culture of hexbear has been so good for us being able to fucking bully libs coming in despite there maybe being a “silent majority” of ex-reddit libs who probably outnumber us but never post
Back on Reddit we were like the third most active sub in sheer posting velocity after I think the NBA sub with 2.3 million members. They couldn’t keep us off the front page without fucking with the algo. It’s one of the main reasons they quarantined us.
You can just make your own instance where only people with brains as smooth as bowling balls are allowed and defederate with the rest of us. I guarantee you that everyone will be much happier.
It’s also kinda hard to have 99% of people dislike China if 18% of the global population lives there and is very satisfied with their government, not even counting anyone in Russia, other parts of Asia and the Pacific, Central and South America, or Africa.
You’re really showing whose opinions you actually care about. A bunch of propagandized to the brim, comfortable Americans, Canadians, and Europeans
You think the people answering questions in these surveys were bribed? That’s hilarious lol. Imagine the headlines, “Global corruption soars as China moves to enhance its public image by bribing billions”
Go read about BRI infrastructure projects in Africa and Asia. The global south is generally very positive about Chinese politics because Chinese give them hospitals and roads and ports.
You know the US is upstanding because it won’t even bribe its own citizens by giving them anything that would improve their lives no matter how hard they vote. True democracy!
In the real world 99% of people in US think about where their next meal is going to come from instead of perseverating about China the way you’re doing kid.
I think you’d be shocked to find out that most of the world thinks very highly of China and it’s accomplishments and foreign policy. Though you like meant only to refer to Americans, which is understandable given your lamentable biases.
Hey there it is!! “Brutal regime” describes things like the ongoing cultural genocide of indigenous peoples, which itself is a continuation of the brutal mass murder and subjugation of those peoples. A BR (brutal regime) does things like enforce debt against Haiti for having the audacity to free itself from slavery and using the debt to ensure the white financiers who bought those slaves don’t lose any money while simultaneously refusing to engage in any form of reparations. A BR separates children from their parents for an an unbroken multi-century program of violent oppression against non-whites. If you rank every country in the world by the most bombs dropped on it, there’s only one BR that is responsible for the top 3 most bombed countries in the history of the world.
But do go on about how those ebil Chinese are so compliant in approving their government for 15 years at a rate of 95% (just ask Harvard) despite that government being a “brutal regime”. Must be something in their culture, right?
LOL, nothing could be easier to grasp. It is absolutely logically possible for both China and the USA to be brutal regimes. However, it is not empirically true. Try educating yourself instead of screaming nonsense into the void.
Right because the 300 million exploited migrant workers in China are definitely not facing abuse, and minority populations like the Uyghurs have definitely not been called terrorists and put in camps, and LGBT face equal rights, and ultranationalist xenophobic rhetoric totally isn’t commonplace among the CCP, and separatists totally aren’t met with threats of force…
minority populations like the Uyghurs have definitely not been called terrorists
They were literally put on a terrorist watch list by the USA. The CIA launched a program to foment a separatist movement for East Turkistan as a way of destabilizing China, just like the CIA trained Tibetan terrorists and airlifted them into the region to commit acts of violence, again to destabilize the region.
The 300 million exploited migrant workers in China re not facing centuries of genocide, forced famine, nuclear holocaust, carpet bombing, systematized rape and child separation, forced sterilization, solitary confinement, solitary confinement of toddlers, nor put into displacement concentration camps and have everything stolen from them. That’s what the US has done and is actively doing right now. Of course the migrant workers in China are dealing with terrible conditions, as are migrant workers in all countries, especially the US. That does not make China a brutal regime in the slightest. The root cause of those migrant workers needing to be migrants in the first place is deliberate and genocidal underdevelopment of the global south by North Atlantic powers. Read. A. Fucking. Book.
LGBT face equal rights
Fucking chauvinism. Honestly. The people of China are making their way through various social justice reforms at the pace of 1.4 billion people all coming to terms with their collective trauma induced by a century of humiliation and subjugation by the West. Give them some time while they figure it out. It’s not like the highest court in the land is overturning established law on a regular basis to make people’s lives worse, that’s a USA thing. In China, it’s more of a slow and steady social progress as they only recently lifted 800 million people out of poverty. People are understandably a bit more focused on other issues right now.
ultranationalist xenophobic rhetoric totally isn’t commonplace among the CCP
it’s not. Honestly it’s not. I don’t know what you think you’re reading, but you’re not actually reading anything put out by literally anyone in China, let alone the CPC. The party is very clear about it’s position - peace, prosperity, interdependence, improving quality of life starting with the poorest, and coexistence. Where else do you hear “one country, two systems” except China? Where else does a colony get returned to a country after a century of subjugation by the West and the country establishes a plan to slowly integrate that colony back into the country over a literal century? What other country in the world has autonomous governing regions of multiple nationalities where they teach native languages at all levels? There is absolutely nothing even remotely resembling the ultranationalist xenophobia of the West. Like, you’re just going to give the West a pass on average reporters saying “This situation in Ukraine is dire. It’s not like these are people from Iraq or Afghanistan. These are blonde haired and blue eyed people we’re talking about here”. The ultranationalism and xenophobia has always been and will always be a European structure. It gave rise to Euro fascism, which was literally just the Western colonial project direct inward. No, there is no ultranationalistic xenophobic rhetoric that is commonplace in the CPC. You are delusional.
and separatists totally aren’t met with threats of force…
Uh. What the fuck? In what world are separatists NOT met with force? That has nothing to do with being a brutal regime. For fucks sake, US cops kill more black people in a year than China kills separatists. The Hong Kong protests went on for so long explicitly because the Chinese did not violently engage. 200 Chinese soldiers were killed by armed students in Tienanmen explicitly because they were given orders not to fight back.
Compare that to literal unmarked plainclothes law officers (federal?) kidnapping people during BLM protests, or the literal constant stream of murders around Cop City in Atlanta. And that’s just domestically! This says nothing about the death squads the US trains, arms, and directs against innocent families through the entire continent of South America in order to scare everyone into passivity, let alone the massive drug trade, the countless assassinations, and the federal coverups of all of it.
You are projecting all of the evils of North Atlantic white society onto China and think that the yellow journalism, opinion pieces, and social media brain rot amplification is literal reality. You are lost. You are literally incapable of seeing reality and instead comfort yourself when faced with your very limited awareness of white Euro atrocities by assuming that China is literally as cartoonishly evil as the Western propagandists make them out to be.
I mean I completely disagree with you, but this thread can’t be healthy for you.
What purpose is it serving to get enraged here?
I’d say take a breather and if you dare: ask yourself how reliable your impression of China really is, maybe research some older claims that have been proven to be misrepresented or false, like this for example. Not saying you have to become a fan, but there seems to be a propaganda effort to prepare the public for a economic/military war with China. So more people need to be sceptical.
You seem to haven’t accepted it yet, but the capitalist class, through the means of communication they control, construct most impressions you have of foreign countries (without them being able to interject) and facts are negligable as they have been in the news-medias support of every US war effort in history as well.
I got a little carried away, but I meant it in good faith, you decided to wear a badge of socialism after all.
Our secret is that we get a 20$ kickback from a cardiologist in Fresno every time one of these people pops. It’s not honest, not is it much, and yet we soldier on.
They’re either clueless teenagers that only know the things they’ve learned from TikTok or working for whatever the Chinese equivalent of glavset is. Either way, they tend to make themselves scarce when that link is dropped on them.
Imagine thinking the most Redditor-ass reply of linking to Wikipedia of all places on a topic they are already familiar with is useful. Do you believe the Reddit myth about wumaos being shot whenever they see the phrase “Tiananmen Square Massacre” is true?
Do they make themselves scarce? You haven’t done your research then: https://hexbear.net/post/301934 (technically OP on Lemmygrad but it counters your premise still)
Yeah I get like 50 responses to my comments everyday… been reported as a bot multiple times. Given their tactics, my suspicion is the hexbear is a 50 cent army hive, but haven’t confirmed this yet. Could be just kids that spent too much time on TikTok that don’t know how terrible the PRC is. Or a mix of both. But likely just 50 cent army.
But meh, if it’s wasting more of their time than mine, we’re winning.
Sorry, but I’m actually not allowed to get paid for my China posts because of a noncompete clause I signed from when George Soros hired me as a crisis actor. I’m not allowed to be a paid actor in any other conspiracy theories right now, so I’m just defending China pro-bono to keep my posting skills sharp so I can try to get on as a wumao once my contract is up.
Sir please keep the good name of Mr. Cent out of your Liberal mouth. .50 Cent got shot 9 times and recovered to be both a great rapper and the protagonist of a really bad X-box shooter. You accomplishments pale in comparison with his career.
‘Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.’
Sure more past grievances from fascist hexbear. Yeah yeah the British were horrible colonizers. I can say that where I live.
But how about we discuss how you feel about the Tiananmen Square massacre. But of course you can’t because you’re afraid of the repercussions of discussing it even today, don’t you?
You know they teach about it in China, right? You’re so far up your own ass you’re just telling stories about stories you’ve been told and none of them have anything to do with reality.
I feel sort of a warm, minty sensation. I really appreciate the students willingness to boldly confront the Deng government to voice their opposition to the imposition of liberal market economics, and I’m sympathetic to their position that social conservativism and a very restrictive public culture was not in line with communist practice. It also demonstrates the delicate balance of power between the party and the people.
The chilling effects of that massacre exist in China to this day. It’s something that’s blocked by their nationwide firewall and people refuse to discuss it out of fear of having some trouble with the authorities.
I do love how you keep playing to Tiananmen Square card like it’s all 5 pieces of Exodia against Hexbears (supposedly) and it repeatedly has no effect.
The times in your past where it’s worked, it may have been with teenagers that support China to be edgy.
We’re educated who understand China’s faults and side with China over US/UK/Can anyway. But you simply can’t comprehend people that think China’s positives outweight it’s negatives without them being paid 50 cents a post.
Why? We all know that about 300 people, mostly pla soldiers and insurgents, were killed in fighting blocks away from the square, while all the students in the square evacuated peacefully after the pla issued a final ultimatum.
Omfg you people really spam every China related thread on our site huh? Forcing us to endure seeing your annoying asses at every corner, is there no way to block every hexbear user?
You’re the only lying manchilds here.
Fuck the CCP.
It’s actually the CPC, the Communist Party of China, the CCP is the Cuban Communist Party, hope this helps
You literally have no idea what you’re talking about
Go to the official website of the party and see what they call themselves (in English)
Most people call it CCP, that’s even what’s taught in schools genius.
A damning condemnation of your education system, to be certain
Perfect response honestly
“Most people”
Yeah, if you don’t consider non-whites to be people
It’s literally the most common English name for it. Grow tf up
American schooling strikes again.
trust me i know everything about them ,( exept their actuall name … )
It VERBATIM translates to “CCP” in English. The CCP does not get to dictate how it’s translated to in English.
LOL, yes they do, because they literally have more English speakers than the US and Britain combined.
It was always “CCP” until they decided to wage a culture war! In Chinese it’s literally verbatim called the Chinese Communist Party

i think it’s almost more like ancient greek style “bottom-phobia”, like the point is we’re supposed to think it’s bad to receive. but the child rape apologist was also probably misgendering me in their mind
Wah wah victim mentality, I never misgender people.
Por que no los dos? They are Catholic after all.
No it isn’t. I would’ve been equally as likely to tell them to suck Xi’s dick if they were a woman. It’s a pretty common insult.
yeah because there aren’t any homophobic queer people. that’d never happen.
A homophobic Catholic; how unsurprising
You literally don’t know my sexuality. Telling someone to suck dick is like an incredibly common expression.
Why is it so common 🤔
And why is it being common a defense? It was once common to own people, is that also OK?

That’s ridiculous since the Chinese like China and we’re 18% of all humans.
Here’s an article about Americans getting salty that views on China in South America are largely positive as opposed to sub 50% approval rating in English speaking countries.
Here’s Voice of America saying the same thing about Africa and how Africans see China.

I wasn’t talking about people in countries that have been bribed.
lmao this is so dumb. Every campaign promise in every democracy is a bribe then?
No… because they never fulfill their promises.
Maybe the US should try bribing people instead of bombing them
You live in the US, how are you not being bribed to think the way you do?
In fairness the statement is consistent. The US government does it’s damndest to do nothing what so ever for the citizens of the us.
They do it for free! They don’t even get paid to spout US State Department propaganda lmao.
At least we get Xi-bucks.
What makes you so sure of that?
Maybe the US should start “bribing” with infrastructure projects then, I thought they were all about their soft power or whatever
You know the US is upstanding because it won’t even bribe its own citizens by giving them anything that would improve their lives no matter how hard they vote. True democracy!

“You people” as in an overwhelmingly White-American group of people that spends their free time defending a brutal regime.
Hey there it is!! “Brutal regime” describes things like the ongoing cultural genocide of indigenous peoples, which itself is a continuation of the brutal mass murder and subjugation of those peoples.

Technically, Tank man ran over the Tank. Easy to see how people got that turned around.

Doesn’t look like posting that link did anything
Why would we make ourselves scarce when some one drops a link to the wikipedia article on Tiananmen Square?
Imagine thinking the most Redditor-ass reply of linking to Wikipedia of all places on a topic they are already familiar with is useful. Do you believe the Reddit myth about wumaos being shot whenever they see the phrase “Tiananmen Square Massacre” is true?
Oh no my kill-switch has been activated! Tell my family in the re-education camps I love them! /cyberpunk brain asplode noises
Can I get a :debate-pervert: from a lemmygrad comrade?
Do they make themselves scarce? You haven’t done your research then: https://hexbear.net/post/301934 (technically OP on Lemmygrad but it counters your premise still)
reddit moment
Damn you owned us we’ve never seen that article before you posted it lmao
This is either a bit or a masochist lol, just straight up inviting the dogpile.
Yeah I get like 50 responses to my comments everyday… been reported as a bot multiple times. Given their tactics, my suspicion is the hexbear is a 50 cent army hive, but haven’t confirmed this yet. Could be just kids that spent too much time on TikTok that don’t know how terrible the PRC is. Or a mix of both. But likely just 50 cent army.
But meh, if it’s wasting more of their time than mine, we’re winning.
Sorry, but I’m actually not allowed to get paid for my China posts because of a noncompete clause I signed from when George Soros hired me as a crisis actor. I’m not allowed to be a paid actor in any other conspiracy theories right now, so I’m just defending China pro-bono to keep my posting skills sharp so I can try to get on as a wumao once my contract is up.
Sir please keep the good name of Mr. Cent out of your Liberal mouth. .50 Cent got shot 9 times and recovered to be both a great rapper and the protagonist of a really bad X-box shooter. You accomplishments pale in comparison with his career.
I hope you’re having as much fun as we are!
I fucking wish Xi was paying me, marg bar amerika
Are you winning son?
What’s a 50 cent army bro. Is that some bazinga brain NAFO inside joke or something
this poster is floyd mayweather
The internet has turned your brain to soup.
Here, I’ll post an article as well, hopefully nobody “makes themselves scarce” because of it: https://redsails.org/another-view-of-tiananmen/
this is one of the dumbest posts of all time. it should be in a museum
looks down-thread
Oh no… they deployed… The Link!
The religious faith and certainty Liberals have in the significance of the Jun 4th incident is utterly bizarre.
“Here, take this pitcher of kool-aid. The bees tend to make themselves scarce if you pour it all over yourself”
oh no, that link appears to have broken my internet!
now my web browser can only take me to this page: https://newint.org/features/2021/12/07/feature-how-british-colonizers-caused-bengal-famine
Sure more past grievances from fascist hexbear. Yeah yeah the British were horrible colonizers. I can say that where I live.
But how about we discuss how you feel about the Tiananmen Square massacre. But of course you can’t because you’re afraid of the repercussions of discussing it even today, don’t you?
You know they teach about it in China, right? You’re so far up your own ass you’re just telling stories about stories you’ve been told and none of them have anything to do with reality.
I feel sort of a warm, minty sensation. I really appreciate the students willingness to boldly confront the Deng government to voice their opposition to the imposition of liberal market economics, and I’m sympathetic to their position that social conservativism and a very restrictive public culture was not in line with communist practice. It also demonstrates the delicate balance of power between the party and the people.
Tiananmen Square? That was thirty years ago, why are you bringing up past greivances like a fascist? Kind of sus to me dude
The chilling effects of that massacre exist in China to this day. It’s something that’s blocked by their nationwide firewall and people refuse to discuss it out of fear of having some trouble with the authorities.
I do love how you keep playing to Tiananmen Square card like it’s all 5 pieces of Exodia against Hexbears (supposedly) and it repeatedly has no effect.
The times in your past where it’s worked, it may have been with teenagers that support China to be edgy.
We’re educated who understand China’s faults and side with China over US/UK/Can anyway. But you simply can’t comprehend people that think China’s positives outweight it’s negatives without them being paid 50 cents a post.
Why? We all know that about 300 people, mostly pla soldiers and insurgents, were killed in fighting blocks away from the square, while all the students in the square evacuated peacefully after the pla issued a final ultimatum.
You really think none of us have read that article huh?
