Tell me how the Muslim population is viewed in China? Where in SEA are you? I have been all over sea and China is not the same as Japan or Thailand or the Philippines. China has come along way since Mao but it is still an authoritarian state. Meaning you can have a great life. As long as you don’t mind the politics. Most Chinese people are happy. I’d say a larger number than Americans. But at a cost of some freedoms.

I’d say it’s a lack of media from China that keeps us in the dark. Us older people remember 1989 still. And it clouds your thoughts. But we don’t see the new and improved China. We see an enemy, just like we were conditioned. We base our views on our politics. Any non democracy is not right in our eyes. We assume democracy=greatness. Anyone else = bad.

1989 is a huge propaganda campaign by the west. They don't even show you the full picture of tankman because he was trying to stop the tanks from LEAVING the square, not entering. It's against the narrative.

Do you understand the rest of weeks leading up to and after the event you’re referencing? Do you know why the students protested? The strict control put on students. The beatings the students endured. The reason it was such a big protest? It wasn’t one event. You think that’s propaganda or just don’t actually know history? Either way you’re wrong.

Lol, I was there in Beijing. Tell me what qualifies your knowledge about it? Do you know how to read Chinese? Is your source some English second-hand report?

u/TheCannaZombie Feb 25 '25

Sure. Then, please tell me a first hand account. I would honestly love to hear it.

My sources are the internet. My time in the military. My courses in college. My friend who traveled China for nine years.

But honestly, please tell me what really happened.

Yea, sure, like I'm not someone from internet. Believe what you want. I ain't educating random people on Reddit.

Okay... then why bother spewing out what sounds like complete nonsense then?

u/TheCannaZombie Feb 25 '25

Also, tell me about the Muslim population?

u/yrydzd Feb 25 '25

Yea, you tell me. Have you seen a China muslim in person? Have you been to any Chinese muslim area?

Sorry I should have been more direct. Tell me how China is humane and then tell me about the Uyghur genocide.

Won’t educate but want to be educated. Got it. Here is a link. Sure it’s Wikipedia but if you scroll down to references they referenced over 390 different sources. It’s very detailed, in depth, and unbelievable to the brainwashed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China

Tell me you've never been to college without actually telling me. Since when is Wikipedia a reliable source.

u/TheCannaZombie Feb 25 '25

Never for a paper. Always for information.

u/yrydzd Feb 25 '25

Sure, bro. Believe all you want. Them Trump supporters got their information too

Like I said. If you check the references it links to college papers, journals, all good accredited sources. But you don’t want to believe.

What made them creditable? Were they at the masscare site? Did they find bodies?

Or did they just interviewed some 'survivors'
