    Your info is out of date, now the cia is pushing “cultural genocide” because “genocide” was remarkably uncredible. Remember the delegations of Muslim countries to the region?

    Hong Kong was a British colony that is part of mainland China. They’re Chinese. Integrating them into the wider system is a step in erasing the legacy of colonialism in China.

    black-bagging dissidents

    Literally name a country that doesn’t do this lol. Here in the US local police have off the books torture and indefinite detention facilities

      Incredible if you believe tankie news sources, maybe?

      Integrating…by force. Sounds like they are continuing the legacy of colonialism to me. “They’re Chinese” lol, they were perfectly happy existing with their freedoms intact. But I guess the CCP feels that they own all the Chinese people and have a right to subjugate them?

      There’s a difference between rogue behavior at a local scale and official policy at a country-wide scale.

        “They’re Chinese” sounds a great way to “liberate” the people’s of Taiwan, Bhutan and Singapore from their current democratic shackles.

            Oh you are challenging the wrong person on this one bub. Can you point out Grenada? How about Marshall Islands? Nauru? Kiribati (pronounced like Gilbert’s), Comoros? How about where Japan ends and Russia begins?

            Sun Tzu says don’t underestimate your opponent. Pretty sound advice.

            The people of Taiwan disagree with your sentiment. Some think that the ROC is the true government of China, others think that Taiwan and China are now two separate countries, but, go figure, officially saying so would instigate a hostile reaction from the PRC.

            So it seems that they’re under a bit of duress to acquiesce to the PRC line, no?

              Oh no! Not the DPP party line!

              The DPP, known as the government where MPs steal bills they don’t want passed. Yay.

                You have an interesting way of seeing the world - strict names claim geography ideology.

                So by your definition, which Congo is the real Congo? Or should the US own all of the Americas? Or perhaps the reverse, China gives up Tibet then? Or maybe we should extrapolate to the absurd, all lands named after saints are now owned by the Vatican?
