    My class is full of people who believes the Uyghur genocide stuff is real while advocating trade with China lol. When I said how come all Muslim orgs said there is no genocide, they said about how Muslim nations just want to trade with China.

    It's in Indonesia so I know we can't be openly commies but even the government and Muslim orgs said the Uyghur genocide isn't real. Bizarrely in my private high school (was there because my parents are afraid I get bullied in regular schools because they thought I'm autistic), my expat English teacher just played Thomas Sankara documentary and asked us to make an essay about him. :sankara-salute:

      Sounds like the idea of Muslims not caring about Muslims is just your classmates projecting their own desire to trade with China despite the alleged genocide onto everyone else...

        They praised Deng for being "capitalist" while calling Xi a dictator for repressing Jack Ma lol.

        Seriously I used to hear praises about China in this country because they arrest and execute corruptors, including high ranking ones, but now because China targeted an asshole billionare that people stan for some reason suddenly Xi Jinping bad?

          The same Jack Ma who turned out to have been on vacation in Tokyo eating Wagyu steaks a few months later?

          What kind of shithouse dictatorship disappears its enemies by sending them on overseas holidays?

          I think a lot of countries believed that China was only Communism in name and secretly capitalist. Then they were surprised when Xi began to show his more leftist side.
