My conspiracy theory is that China does not care about Tianamin Square at all, because its just a focal point distraction from the real shit they bury.
its just a focal point distraction from the real shit they bury
Is there anything more American than taking a moment to think and realizing, “Damn, fixation on Tienanmen Square seems like its designed to derail any kind of serious conversation about our respective countries” and then falling directly into the “Because the nefarious Chinese have tricked us!” mental trap.
“During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.”

it’s genuinely sad like there are ongoing attrocities both in china and around the globe that are also censored from various platforms and LLMs but my feed is just the same 2 “tests” repeated ad absurdum
Buddy, you new to Chinese history? Kind of a meme the amount that die in civil wars and civil disobedience going back to 2000bc. But funny thing is, they stick to their own people, with their own people fighting back and their own people then getting killed.
By no means perfect, good, or ideal, but better than mass murdering and couping others for your never ending thirst for oil and resources
Raping and torturing all those people in their country maybe I dunno. Uyghers is what they’re called there? Just search China atrocious genocide and see what pops up.
I find it deeply ironic the west actively persecuted and demonizes Muslims yet when it comes to china they seem to care to deeply about the uguyrs. I’m well versed about the uguyrs, I’ve been to Xinjiang via Pakistan as a Muslim ethnic Punjabi. Uguyrs being persecuted is different from massacre and genocide. What America, Britain and France do Is well documented (not by these nations, but rather recordings and whatnot being spread online like Palestine and Sudan) but uguyrs there’s nothing like that. By no means a honourable and utopian nature, but if you’re gonna point fingers at china, first lol at your nation. Im ethnically Pakistani born in Scotland. I love Scotland and Pakistan but I’m also fully aware and transparent about their issues
Edit, also calling me a tankie, is like a right wing nut calling everything “woke” do you not see the literal hypocrisy you joke of a “liberal”
People can’t even think of any other propaganda besides Tianamin Square lol

Its basically a propaganda honeypot.

It’s like that “Conservatives have One Joke” meme.

Rigorous. It isn’t like misinformation gets spread around uncritically ever.
I wouldn’t either put much effort into what is clearly an attempt by a tankie to pretend China doesn’t have ongoing atrocities.
