These narratives have real world consequences. Anytime you mention Xinjiang or that China is committing a "genocide" to liberals and conservatives it helps spread this shit. It helps reinforce Sinophobic narratives and will result in more deaths. Combat these lies and this propaganda where you see It. It is our moral duty to do so.

    I don't see your point. Do you think no investment is better? Or China should only do charitable investment? Or that China should be exporting revolution like the Soviets did?

      Lol I'll give you an example. China wanted to build a highway in our country. They started it, didn't even want to hire local workers and the ones they did they tried to not pay them or pay way under the minimum wage. Then they dipped halfway through the project so the country had to find another company to finish the project. Years wasted, money wasted.

        Damn. So China approached the government and building the highway, then abandoned it halfway? Or did the government contract the highway a Chinese construction company that failed to complete the project?

        Either way, the minimum wage stuff is bad. That seems very out of the ordinary though. At least from most of the projects I've read about.

          The not hiring local workers does sound in line with what I've heard in terms of reasonable criticism or even defenders within the region as well.
