There's literally a law banning same sex relationships from being shown on tv and in cinemas, what the fuck are you talking about??
Also Tienanmen square wasn't "an incident". It was a massacre.
Americans call the Boston massacre and only 6 people died, just saying that on the level of supposedly horrific state violence that should never be forgotten, so you have any idea how many massacres of the same and larger scale the United States has perpetrated just in the last 30 years?
According to the Chinese Communist Party around 200-300 civilians died, and several thousands were injured. According to most other agencies, the numbers are around 10 times higher, with 1000 to 3000 dead. Either way, it's a very high number of dead.
Or is this not a massacre? By the way, two wrongs don't make a right
You don’t give a fuck about the wrongdoings of any country but the ones you were told are “enemies”
Cops in the US murder thousands of people every year, bet you don’t even spare a thought for it, is my point
State violence only bad when it’s not my state
*State violence is only bad when my ruling class tells me it is
I do care about wrongdoings of any country. The issues with police violence, racial discrimination and gun violence in the US are not a secret. You are not the first one talking about that. Everyone in the west talks about that, it's now the first thing most people think of when talking about the US in the west.
That being said, I don't understand why, when anyone even tries to say "China bad" the answer is always "but America is also bad". Why does that make it right?
because we're in a contrived thread that twists over backwards to shit on china, not a thread about the legitimate issues with china. Its frustrating to see, even when I agree that china is pretty bad in a lot of ways, seeing that drumbeat of "enemy state bad" as an army of mindless brainwashed western redditors marches by throwing out half truths and outright lies (its almost never real criticisms, like with north korea its just miles long lists of shit westerners were taught to think like its illegal to not have the kim haircut) it just makes my head pop
All the organizers, though, are living cushy rich lives in Taiwan and the USA now
Wonder whose head those deaths are on? It's not like you can legally go around impaling soldiers to buses and stealing apcs and tanks in any country

Yes, I was worried about the square. Thank God most of the massacre happened on the streets around Tienanmen
The point is that the western sequence of events is incorrect on the face of it.

"I was lied to about an obvious, easily verifiable fact, but I'm sure the people who lied to me are otherwise being honest"
I mean yeah I wish representation were better. Too many regional representatives are boomers stuck in the past. I was in Shenzhen in 2019 though and met a bunch of cool queer folks though.
What? I was just watching a show the other day with a trans hostess on Chinese national TV. Her name is Jin Xing and she's very well known and her show draws 100 million viewers regularly
I suppose those police officers just set themselves on fire then?
