so much patriotic education, you have done well my friend.
You are fully patriotically educated!
Khudos to US for taking stand on the issue where other Muslim countries are afraid of taking stand on operassion of Uyghurs.
It's not a statement, I'm ask you a question. What country would genocide their minorities and at the same time promote their culture? care to explain. If you want, I can probably dig up videos on Chinese TV that promotes Uighur culture and customs.
Kudos? You mean US willfully ignore the fact that the so called persecution never happened as indicated by the fact that rest of Islamic countries support chinese effort in rooting out extremists, and it's all American ploy being belligerent to demonize and contain china while ignoring gross human rights violation in Kashmir where numerous Muslims are in fact being killed by Indian troops?
Promote their culture or promote a CPC-ized theme park of their culture?
The two are different.
India promotes tourism to Taj Mahal, which is Islamic culture but at the same time wants to kill every single Muslim in India.
"but at the same time wants to kill every single Muslim in India", I doubt that's a true statement. The problem with you is, you buy too much into western news that China persecutes Muslims, when Chinese government could care less about religion, they care about security and stability and see multiple violent acts originating from Xinjiang as justifiable reason to clamp down. If other regions in china does the same thing, china will do the same to those regions as well. So no, it's not about Muslims or Uighur.
Actually Chinese are more open minded and liberal than most peoples around the world, we are open to new ideas, innovations and management systems, what ever proves to be useful for us, we'll adopt it and make it our own.You'd be surprised.
Just read some of the Indian comments even on PDF, they want a full eradication of Muslims.
I am no fan of the West, I think they are piggish people who have destroyed the world.
However, I do have an education and I can (unfortunately?) Think for myself.
The all evidence points to, at best discrimination of Muslims and at worst......
I apologise for thinking freely as I clearly have not had patriotic education.

China had the most dynasty changes in the world, if the leaders are bad, China and Chinese people can always find ways to change them, but now based on PEW poll, 94% of the Chinese population support CPC, it should not be a surprise judging from China's development and progress in the last couples of decades, so why would the Chinese want to change it? This government always have an eye in the future with a long term goal, that's the big advantage we have over democracies, whose sight can never go beyong their 4 or 5 years election terms.Oh I agree. Amazing people and have done amazing thing.
The only problem is they can't be open to not choosing the CPC.

Wikipedia..., everyone can edit it, it's never a reliable source.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine
- 15 million (government statistics)
- 15 to 30 million (some scholarly estimates)
Mao united China by force, so he was the founding father, he was not chosen by the Chinese goverment selection mechanism, all other leaders after him chosen from this mechanism served China very well, it shows this selection mechanism works very well for China.As for Democracy vs Xi's rule.
Sure everything is easier when only one man dictates everything. But when happens when that man leaves?
Can you promise the next guy will do a similar job?
What if he doesn't?
The advantage democracy has is that they can get rid of a bad leader without blood.
It will be interesting to see how China deals with bad leaders when they inevitably come.
attacking the source and not the argument.Wikipedia..., everyone can edit it, it's never a reliable source.
It was a wrong policy and caused some disasters, I never denied that, many countries adopted policies intended to be good but turned out to be a disaster, unlike others, we found out and we correct past mistakes and that's why we can become the fastest developing nation ever in the whole human history.attacking the source and not the argument.
I get it, it's the only argument you can make because you know I am telling the truth.

As for those numbers, I admit I never trusted those number, none of my extended families died from the famine and my extended families have many people all across China. Biden claims china is jailing 'a billion uighurs' only a week ago,that's how reliable their figures are.
