  • Yes indeed, the protests were peaceful. The violence against the protests by police and Zionists wasn’t though. In my own state, hundreds of protestors were arrested and charged with felony RICO law violations for soliciting donations to maintain the protest.

  • Lmao. Sure there was. I’m sure you’re getting that data from a non biased source not aligned with American interests, right? There’s more than 3,800 child laborers in my state alone. In fact, they’re legally working much of the time. Many states have lowered the legal working age, and constant reports come out about children working in horrific conditions doing dangerous work such as slaughterhouses.

  • Then let’s talk about the brutal assault and suppression of the pro Palestinian protests last summer. On public property, assaulted by agents of the state, hundreds arrested and charged with felonies for speaking their mind, threatened constantly by public officials, laws made to criminalize criticism of the client state of Israel. Or the hundreds of journalists, veterans, and protestors assaulted for daring to speak out against the current regime during press conferences and rallies. Just today, multiple journalists were assaulted during a press conference with Blinken.

  • It is in fact true, despite what you’ve been propagandized to believe.

  • Repression of hate speech is objectively a good thing. “Free speech” in our society is a dog whistle for allowing far right to spread conspiracy and lies without any repercussions. Western media heavily suppresses speech that cuts against their interests. Say “free luigi” on Facebook or instagram and see what happens. Say “free Palestine” on instagram and see what happens. Yet, literal fascists are allowed to (and even further spread by people like musk) to spread antisemitic conspiracies and objectively false and misleading pseudoscience without issue. Hundreds of left leaning journalists were banned on X in one day, for nothing more than being ideologically opposite to Elon Musk.

    Put simply, the illusion of “freedom of speech” in the west is just that, an illusion. China does not suppress the majority of speech, they just don’t allow ideologues to sew conflict and falsehoods.

  • There’s more child labor, both legal and illegal, in the United States than in all of China.

  • Imagine calling a war with lower rates of civilian death than any other war in the 21st century a genocide.

  • I wish, I’d move there if they had half the benefits they do in the PRC. Universal healthcare, maternity leave, sick leave of multiple months, unions in all companies, workers councils in all corporations, rent controls, price controls… man, please let your comment come true.

  • That means 21% can’t read. Not to mention that 50% read at below a 6th grade level.

  • Yeah Gadaffi did a lot for the nation, he was genuinely a revolutionary change in Libyan conditions.

  • Americans can now visit China for up to 10 days without a visa

  • That’s great to hear. Less time than I spend when I go, but for first time trips it’s a decent amount of time for people to get a feel for the place.

  • Is this still the transit visa free policy? To my understanding you have to be transiting through China to another country for this to work, not going to China as your destination. Getting the visa is kinda a pita because there’s only 5 consulates in the US and you are assigned to one based on your region. I had to fly to Chicago to get mine, so it was basically like 2 vacations.

  • Before Gadaffi, the largest portion of the Libyan economy came from scrapping abandoned WWII era tanks. It was absolutely miserably poor and underdeveloped.

  • Sanctions have not succeeded in lessening support or creating regime change. They are a siege warfare tactic, and a way of inflicting suffering upon the masses of people. There’s plenty of books on the topic, I’d recommend Sanctions as War, edited by Stuart Davis and Immanuel Ness.
