That was the point of the reply wasn't it? Maybe I assume too much of them.

But... But... the Tankies told me I had to choose!

What do you mean right wing America bad and China also bad?! But which team are you on then?! Someone tell me which crimes to excuse and which to condemn! /s

I am sure cisgender (顺性别) and other genders are at least shadow-banned on red note. Honestly, I have not heard this word for my entire Chinese-speaking life, until one of my LGBT friend mentioned it.

Everyone knows China is a progressive communist/socialist country that recognizes genders :)

no one said it isn't?

If you cannot host it, you cannot own it. If you cannot own it, it's not resistant to censorship.

Man on floating whale corpse: "Your boat stinks!"

Man on burning garbage scow: "What?"

Chinese shenanigans

I took it as "don't pretend we don't have censorship too"

Pretty sure Lemmy has always been full of people who support freedom of speech, open internet, internationalism, anti-censorship, etc.

It's got nothing to do with "apologizing" for some state targeted by this wacko genocidal empire.

Mostly no (I hope), we’re just laughing at americans literally not being able to read anything soaked with propaganda and switching from one source to another.

Ccp apologists can suck Winnies dick

RedNote ToS includes provisions that require you to post “correct views on history, nationality, state, or culture”.

Damn that private company implementing Terms of Service to limit discourse to historically accurate topics of conversation. Now I'll never get Wuhan Lableak blurbs and weird religious propaganda injected into my video feed.

I guess if you believe Taiwan should be “returned” to the mainland, Uhghurs deserve to be “re-educated” and enslaved, and that China is the natural and rightful pre-eminant global power…

I mean, what gives the US the right to encircle Taiwan with its Navy? Why were we so fervent in defending the right of Afghani teenager girls to obtain an education, but so cavalier in denying it to Uighur girls threatened by the same Islamic radicalism just on the other side of the Afghan/China border? How do we have US Senators and CENTCOM chiefs debating the best method for severing Chinese exports from the international markets, while asserting the threat of Chinese global supremacy?

It's all upsidedown and backwards in America-World. If you want to talk about Chinese global hegemony, consider the methods at their disposal. To quote Dr Lubinda Haabazoka, Director of the University of Zambia Graduate School of Business and former President of the Economics Association of Zambia

Every time China visits we get a hospital, every time Britain visits we get a lecture.

Here's a crazy thought: maybe all genocides are bad.

I'm not American, but I am very much a Westerner.

I can protest my government's shitty politics. I can vote in politicians that amplify the message. I can donate to politicians in other jurisdictions than mine that have good politics. MPs and MEPs that represent me and people who think like me have taken brave stances, have thrown wrenches, have done what they could. One day, just like we stopped South African Apartheid, we WILL stop Israeli Apartheid, and you can shove your cynicism up yours.

Are Chinese citizens allowed to do ANY of that?
