Depicting a heap of contorted bodies and screaming faces, the statue was unveiled Tuesday as part of an exhibition of “forbidden art” that organizers said had been censored or “deemed subversive” by Hong Kong and mainland China.
The exhibition was hosted by Jens Galschiøt, the Danish artist behind the famous sculpture, and Kira Marie Peter-Hansen, a member of the European Parliament (MEP). A further six MEPs, including representatives from each of the parliament’s five largest political coalitions, were listed as co-hosts.
No supporting Genocide while criticizing others just makes you a giant hypocrite. Europe is not helping do something they are criticizing others
We have no moral high ground to stand on to criticize others anymore. Every single time China starts some BS about their human rights we bring up the Uyghurs and Tianennmen Square.
Now every time we bring up human rights while supporting Genocide we are nothing more than giant hypocrites.
We needs to look in the mirror instead of at China.
I assume there’s a missing coma after the no. In any case, are you arguing that’s better to do nothing than to do only half?
No country on earth had the moral high ground. All have sins. But some have taken steps to redeem, starting with acceptance.
Let’s do both!
Let’s look in the mirror first before criticizing others. Nobody else in the world is looking at this with anything but giant disgust for the hypocrisy. We cannot criticize another regime about human rights while literally supporting Genocide.
Nah, let’s go both
Empty words without meaning sure don’t mean anything to them.
That’s the neat part about being an authoritarian regimen, you don’t care what they think about you. Else you would stop the authoritarianism.
So let’s do both.
