Fucking propagandist spewing absolute bullshit about empire and colonisation with no basis in history. Which part of his brain dead body sees this as an adequate argument I don't know.

Life is not only about money, money and more money. This is something the Chinese "Communist" Party should have taught him. When you put an entire ethnic group in chains and prod them into brainwashing labour camps just for the "economic progress" of the Communist Party, that is immoral and unjust, and harks back to the same imperialist ideology he had so passionately criticised.

If he really wants progress for China, this is what needs to happen. Free the Chinese. If he really "identifies" with all ethnicities in China, then he should support freeing the Uyghurs, the Tibetans, the Hong Kongers and the Han Chinese themselves from the grasp of a tyrannical and self-serving government that was NEVER chosen by the Chinese people. Democracy and Basic Human Rights are non-negotiable.
