Every time I see a map like that I think about how the Communist Party of China has somewhere around a 90% approval rating throughout the whole country and it's higher in rural areas
Bit idea: China "decolonizes" and the CPC is immediately voted back into power in every region and votes to re-form the PRC.
thats because the chinese are SO propagandized!!! its actually better when the approval of the government is lower somehow!!!!!!!
The Asiatic brainpan is prone to brainwashed hivemind thinking, they are being mind-controlled by the evil see see pee. Now excuse me, I gotta stand up for the pledge of allegiance, which is something I do out of my own volition because I am very free.
Someone clapped back at Americans whining about Tibet by pointing out that 90%+ of Tibetans speak fluent Tibetan and asking if the same was true for indigenous Americans.
Word. I'm sure there's plenty of important, timely critiques of the treatment of minority ethnicities in China, but I've never seen any of it make it's way in to western discourse.
Like even with Xinjiang, there are legitimate discussions to be had about how the rights of individuals should be weighed against the state's need to maintain peace, specifically in relation to the global war on terror and the Chinese government's program to suppress Salafi militant incursions in Xinjiang, but I've never heard the treatment of Uighurs in Xinjiang discussed in those terms anywhere except in the UN report on Xinjiang.
funniest part of this is "Chinese Occupied Hong Kong". How about Italian Occupied Sicily while we're at it
Unironically Scicily should be liberated and be allowed to annex the rest of Italy.
Get in boys, we’re gonna reestablish the Holy Roman Empire
It is time for the rise of Three Sicilies. :meow-shining:
:maybe-later-honey: sorry, those indigenous people don't count because the state department didn'ttell me anything about them
Because Formosa is a Portuguese word that means "beautiful?"
Same with that weird Greater Tibet. It cuts so far into the other provinces that it would have a massive Han majority.
I guess whoever made this didn't realize that Tibet is literally the Himalayan mountain plateau , and it has a tiny population because there's only a few valleys where people can live.
:wojak-nooo: nuh uh, it's cuz the see see pee genocidered all of them!
also more Mongols live in Inner Mongolia than in Outer Mongolia. Also Inner Mongolia has always preserved their traditional script unlike Outer Mongolia.
Isn't that the outcome you would expect from colonialism?
Yeah I was about to say I'm not sure thats the point they want to be making here. There are also more white people in Australia than indigenous people. That wouldn't be a point against decolonizing Australia.
For the record, I'm against balkanizing China.
It's not some recent thing. The area has been split between the Chinese farmers along the Yellow river, and a succession of horse nomads north of the river, for more than two thousand years.
The English colonization of Ireland also took place over a thousand years, but we still recognize it.
There's no comparison. Chinese agriculture and civilization developed along the Yellow river basin and floodplain back in pre-history.
The settled societies there have been raided by horse nomads since the bronze age, and were alternately fighting, exchanging tribute, and creating marriage alliances with them for thousands of years before the Mongol tribes united and migrated into the area.
Yes, the subjugation and displacement of the Mongol people is relatively recent on the stage of history. What's your point?
That the settled and nomadic peoples were intermingling in the area for all of recorded history. That's not colonialism.
The Mongols tribes weren't even subjugated by the Han, they were pushed out by the Jurchen, another nomadic confederation , that also went on to subjugate China for several centuries.
Sorry but we are going to decolonize Chinese Empire
Imperialism with moron characteristics
Isn't Manchuria a word the Japanese made up when they were doing a colonialism
Eh they called it Manchukuo, which is the japanification of Manchuria which is labeled so after the Manchu who originally were called the Jurchin before the tribes unified to seize the seat of the Son of Heaven (emperor of China) with the Qing dynastic period, in very simplified terms from my understanding.
0/10 not even in all caps and there were almost no mentions of ham sandwiches
This guy is a new level of unhinged for China watchers.
Also funny how Aussies suddenly love Japan now. I still remember them frothing over Japanese whalers and bringing up the Rape of Nanking all the damn time. Now they go on about how Japanese culture inherently believes in environmental preservation while China doesn't.
During the 90s, anti-japanese racism was bonkers. Japanese tourist jokes were pretty routine
In fairness, when we tried to break free just a little bit they couped us instantly. Then later when we wanted to tax US companies they couped us again.
I was once accosted by an old man for eating Sushi. this was less than 20 years ago.
Japanese culture inherently believes in environmental preservation while China doesn’t.
ah of course, Japan who were going to just release all the Fukushima reactor water into the sea, have an inherent trait of envioronmental preservation in their culture. sounds about white.
He had too much trouble deciding between labeling the entire peninsula Chosen or Joseon and ended up doing nothing.
hmm i wonder how these two tiny city states deep within 'china proper' were colonized
i can't wait for the China backed Red Star Revolution of 2056 that finally topples Australia's government
Once they finish the implants for Mecha-Holt and return him, we will usher in a new age of Socialism with Australia Characteristics (eureka flags everywhere probably)
