I swear unanimous appreciation of china was a pretty common sentiment and now I'm consistently seeing upbeared comments about how china isn't and never was a socialist state, and how actually their use of markets is as bad if not worse than america. What's going on? IDK what to think or what side I'm on here but it just seems like opinions fundamentally changed so quickly, it's weird.

        It is not at all. have you seen the state department stance on China? They're weaponizing the world against China through the trans pacific partnership. They want economic and total warfare with China for being a third world country that dared to oppose international whiteness and imperialism. Please stop believing in state department lies about China and please stop emboldening the myths that are spread by the CIA on this site and many other sites.

          What lies am I believing? I don't know what the hell your statement department says, I'm not American, I'm doing my own research on the country and asking my actually Chinese language partner about her country's politics.

          I am aware that the US wants to rally it's allies against China, but extrapolating that to "the entire world wants to holocaust China" is absolutely bizarre and completely besides the point I was originally making, how in the world is the government banning wikipedia, google and youtube for their own people in any way an appropriate reaction to that?

            Yeah banning those media is a good idea. Have you seen the Americans who get sucked into YouTube algorithm. Q comes out the other end. Go on wiki and research anything about China. It’s highly sinophobic.

            Because Google, Wikipedia, and Youtube are filled with reactionaries, counterrevolutionaries, and imperialists. These sites push the genocide lie on china, through the Xijing region lie and the famine lie. They acknowledge the war criminals on the island of formosa as an independent state. They're trying to turn the Chinese citizens against the government. They already did that with Hong Kong. Also, the US state department influences your country as well. That entire world thing was hyperbole, and I apologize

            If Hitler had never got in the way I guarantee you the rest of the world would have rallied together to crush the USSR in a full on military campaign. What makes you believe they wouldn't do the same to China now that it is clearly the rising power of the 21st century?

              In principle I agree, but everyone important has nukes now. 15830347th generation warfare is not fought with "full on military campaigns", when sanctions are so much more effective.

                That is so long as nations do not begin to use tactical nukes. Also as I've said in another comment the situation of MAD that we've experienced has been hinged on the fact of Western Supremacy. In retrospect it is very obvious that the Western powers were the aggressors in the cold war which makes sense as the US was the larger super power, but what happens when that is no longer the case? When capital has nothing to loose since China will become the leading super power does it continue to rely on MAD? I would hope so, but something tells me that's not necessarily true.

                    I think that's true if it is delivered by a nation state in an obvious manner, but let me answer your question with another. If a dirty bomb were to go off in NYC do you think the world would instantly be consumed in hell fire? Do you really think we would just start launching nukes at all our enemies? I don't think so. Using non state actors to set off a dirty bomb would do two things. It would eventually normalize tactical nukes and also establish paramilitaries as a legitimate threat that the US could use as a way to exert influence, but without the hang ups of using obvious military personnel. It's exactly what they already do across the globe right now.

                    At that point, MAD would be off the table because I doubt any established nation would stop the world from turning for what can easily be blamed on terrorists.

            I disagree with a lot of their censorship, but censoring Google, Wikipedia and YouTube is absolutely the right move. Those are all (Wikipedia to a lesser extent, but still not great) hell-sites that have poisoned the minds of millions upon millions of people, why on Earth would they allow that shit in their country??

                  Maybe the point is not that you're as bad as a Nazi but that difference of opinions on China on a site dedicated to fucking the bunny cop isn't because of feds but because you won't find any community on the internet where there are 10000 users who think the same about anything.

                  But if the casus belli to start the nukes will be a comment from Garfield_Cumfart69 you can desecrate my corpse.

                Oh i see. interesting, i see the pro-china side push back on the anti-china stuff out of the desire to keep things peaceful - ie - anti-imperialism and being concerned about the increase in hate crimes toward asians because of the anti-China sentiment and propaganda.

                Perhaps you've seen different pro-china posts than i have though.

                    I'm having trouble relating this to your original point that we shouldn't support China at all. Do you agree with me or are you changing your mind?

                    people are free to downvote and upbear posts and that's what makes this on the front page. I upbeared the anti-union post because i thought it was a good point and POLITELY asked for sources. No one is saying "don't make anti-china posts" here from what i've seen at all.
