Which country has a larger body count in the last few decades?
The countries are way more alike than you think. Calling for more state censorship in the US brings them even more into alignment.
It sounds like you are consuming far too much anti-American and pro-Chinese propaganda.
The Chinese succeeding in their geopolitical goals is the suppression of the individual at scale. Extinguishing of the light.
Collectivism looks good on paper but ultimately is high minded and has fatal flaws which resulted in horrible outcomes whenever tried. 100 million+ dead in the 20th century.
China imprisons and enslaves people simply for being members of the “wrong” ethnic group.
Please explain how these are even close to the same thing.
The answer is about 30 people vs. about a million innocent Uyghurs in Chinese internment camps.
All of the things I mention are easily verifiable by credible sources while you are (for some reason) parroting CCP taking points. Hmm…
Evidence of the Uyghur camps is ubiquitous:

Edit to reply: Yes, the schools don't look like the "schools" in Xinjiang. I can't tell if you're being paid or if you really believe what you say. Did the famines caused by mao not kill millions? Did tianamen square not happen?
I think you need to be more incredulous with obvious CIA propaganda.
A quarter of the Irish population died during their famine. Why do we let the criminals who orchestrated that purely for colonial reasons remain in power? Mao made mistakes in agricultural planning but it wasn't intentional as was the case with the British and Ireland.
> Did tianamen square not happen?
Tienanmen Square was an economic protest over inflation and material conditions. The framing of it being a democratic revolution is a post hoc fantasy by the western media.
Do you have any other reddit talking points?
It was an economic protest by students? Did thousands die by the hands of tanks and rifles? Or was it peacefully disbanded? Why aren't you allowed to even mention it China if it was so benign? I'm guessing you aren't living there right now or else you would be too scared to mentioned it for fear of being disappeared.
Why no response about those massive schools with armed guards in Xinjiang? The government has admitted they are "reeducating" them. The buildings are obviously there and in huge numbers.
I was just responding to your non-sequitur about the great leap forward. One was a earnest policy failure. The other was imposed to maintain a colonial mercantile arrangement, which killed two orders of magnitude more on a per-capital basis.
Should we impose economic sanctions against the UK for their human rights abuses?
> It was an economic protest by students?
Yes.

It was widely reported on state media. You can mention it, just like the other economic protests earlier in the 1980s. It just doesn't have the cultural and historical significance that the people in Washington with lanyards, and people who consume nothing but propaganda think it has.

Is the existence of prisons in the US an obvious sign of a genocide against African Americans?
Are they doing this now? No. Is the CCP committing genocide now? Yes.

Can you show me some examples of discussions about tianamen square in Chinese social media to show that any conversations that don't follow the party line are allowed?
Was the "economic" protest not put down with extreme force and did thousands of people not die?
> Is the existence of prisons in the US an obvious sign of a genocide against African Americans?
You are ignoring my question that is trying to get the heart of this whole conversation, the genocide taking place in xinjiang and with some distracting question. Your government has admitted to building these as "reeducation" facilities and a large population is getting oppressed and processed through these. These facilities exist, there is a ton of evidence to support it. There are guard towers, walls, armed guards, etc. Are you asserting these prisons are empty?
Could you point me to a reliable data source for Chinese prisoner mortality rates? A ~19/100,000 mortality rate would be an amazing achievement.
