I think it’s almost verbatim what Xi is saying - cooperate, build more and more economic and cultural ties, wait for the decline of capitalism and the people of Taiwan will reunite with mainland eventually. They are already really close socially, culturally and ethnically (most Taiwanese are Han), the only thing separating them is politics.

I don’t know of China doing that either, apart from made-up stories from some guys, directly affiliated with the US government, who weren’t even there. Uighurs do have their rights systematically abused and face unfair persecution as an overreaction to terrorism. This fucking sucks, but it’s clearly not a genocide and nothing like what you’re describing. Even English Wikipedia, which historically is biased towards US propaganda because it is sourced from western media, has stopped classifying it as a genocide.

Meanwhile Germany is sending weapons and diplomatic support to a literal apartheid genocide state, which has been bombing civilian infrastructure and shooting children for fun since the founding, with at least 100k dead just in the last 3 years; France & UK are still empires which hold land overseas and continue doing “soft” - cultural & economic - imperialism in their sphere of influence; and all western quality of life improvements are sustained on exploitation of cheap unregulated labor from many global south countries, enforced by the US invading and/or overthrowing everyone who tries to stop it.

Some of what China is doing domestically sucks. The Uighur thing is bad, LGBT rights are not enshrined into law and instead exist in a legal vacuum, the internet censorship is shit, the wealth inequality is growing, the one-child policy was a bad idea which led to a femicide and creation of “second-class citizens”, there are still regions where the rural population lives in slums (the last two are being slowly addressed though).

But it’s not even close to the level of suffering caused by western imperialism.

1. China has not used their military offensively for the past like 30 years, I don’t see why start now
2. Xi has said repeatedly that he will not use military force and instead will use the existing economic and cultural ties to push re-integration
3. If they invade Taiwan militarily they risk a nuclear war, definitely will suffer heavy casualties, will destroy the world’s economy (which will hurt them a lot as well), and the only thing they would gain is a pile of burning ash. There is no practical reason to do it and you can call Xi many names but not impractical.

China hasn’t been directly involved in anything even resembling a genocide since the death of chairman mao at least. There are human rights abuses and questionable decisions (such as not sufficiently opposing the ongoing gaza genocide) but nothing compared to the horrors on earth supported by US and some european countries right fucking now.

However, if each of the 75019230 people who voted for Kamala would instead start shitting on the porches of the 25% (~90 million people), y’all will be done in less than two days. Such is the power of organizing!

The reason I see the connection is that big dogs like Apple or Microsoft will be able to get RAM from those suppliers (or build it themselves like Samsung), and will be able to sell you walled-garden “computer appliances” which only run approved software. But you won’t be able to afford to build your own computer from parts yourself, and won’t be able to install whatever you want on it as a result.

This sounds like they are joining the war on general-purpose computing, and not on our side. Fuck em.
