Thanks for this. Was spared from a legit "China Bad" moment. Am now more pro-China than ever.
:china:
The exact same line about reducing abortion was in versions of the plan going as far back as 2001. Given that it hasn't been restricted since except by one regional authority in 2018, this seems to support that China is not moving to restrict abortion.
This is classic "intentionally mistranslate one line and run with it" from western media, and a bunch of people here fell for it.
Oh I was just being facetious.
Western chauvinists are always gonna Western chauv.
Are you talking about the users here or the newspapers? Because I think he's talking about the newspapers, but I'm sure many users here will also not learn their lesson so easily.
I meant the users here; since somehow "I believe that all ML states are evil and assume all negative statements about them are true even in the face of counter evidence" is somehow not considered sectarianism, this shit will never stop.
That thread seriously had me :agony-immense:
Like seriously, why assume China bad and agree with the western headlines when you could instead wait and see what China actually does. But no, everyone who wants actual evidence of the central government moving to ban abortion is uncritically supporting. One (bad) local law from one region aimed at reducing sex-selective abortion is proof enough of their nefarious intentions to imply everyone who says otherwise is a China shill.
The exact same line about reducing abortion has been in the plan since 2001. Given that it hasn't been restricted since except by one regional authority, this is in fact evidence that China is not moving to restrict abortion.
Some people use "critical support" means "never charitably assume, always err on the side of guilt". If the central government begins to limit abortion, then I'll criticize. I'm certainly not going to agree with a lying Guardian, substanceless article lol.
Based twitter account:
The funny thing is, that Twitter account isn’t even communist. It just does translation of topical Chinese law. In doing so, it often ends up having to run contrary to mainstream narratives. Its coverage of social credit is one such case.
When a random Twitter liberal has a better understanding of "critical support" than a non-zero number of Hexbear users, you know there's something wrong.
New theory just dropped: all American news is projection to desperately pretend their sundowning empire is great.
what china said: we plan to reduce abortions by providing accessible contraceptives
what the MSM sees: we plan to
reduceban abortionsby providing accessible contraceptivesCongrats you've realized that western media mistranslates and decontextualizes Chinese policy constantly in an attempt to push attention away from US atrocities.
Damn I missed the slop and it's all deleted now, anyone catch what he said to me lol?
