    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.

        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.
