I mean… I kinda get it, but nowadays it’s starting to get absurd.

Been on xiaohongshu for a while now and the chinese netizens I interacted with were nothing but kind to foreigners even when we treated them like shit.
Anecdotal evidence means nothing, doubly so from a .ml troll.
You can literally go on XHS or douyin and speak with them yourself
I’ve lived in China. I’ve had Chinese live with me. I actually know shit without going on social media and being fed propaganda.
Do tell, I’d love to know about your experience there
You’re interacting with the ones who are still allowed internet access.
Hold up, you think people in China aren’t allowed to access Chinese apps? 🤣
Many of them use VPNs to get around firewalls and I speak with them aswell on other platforms. I am learning mandarin and it is quite helpful. I don’t like everypart of their society, there is still some of misogyny and homophobia that makes me uncomfortable but I have seen worse here. The people of xiaohongshu are actually making great strides to combat this and I applaud them. I have probably spoken candidly with people from every major city. What makes you think people without global internet are inherently more reactionary. Wouldn’t their views be reflected in the people that have that access as well? If it is so nation wide?
Cool.
I’m glad their lives aren’t hell under their fascist regime.
Most of the time when a country tries to make an ethnostate the main race get to live pretty good lives.
Wild that you actually think China is a Han ethnostate. Are you the type to believe they are sterilizing their minorities?
Cool, I didn’t even say Han and yet you knew what I meant.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_Chinese#:~:text=The Han Chinese%2C alternatively the,75%25 of the country’s population.
There are long running documented campaigns of cultural erasure of China’s minority groups. It’s no shocker that a country with billions of people they would use ethnic clensing to maintain social stability.
I said Han because I am well aware that is the ethnic majority in China lmao. I’d love to see your sources for the ethnic cleansing.
The ottomans had a stupid amount of ethnic minorities and managed to last for centuries. Ethnic and cultural diversity does not necessarily mean instability. Xinjiang and Tibet are autonomous regions for a reason.
It’s history at this point

You shouldn’t argue in favor of an ethnostate for any reason, it’s cringe
I literally did not argue for an ethno state but ok
please see my other commment in thisn post about how much of that is bullshit. you do know wikipedia is primarily western and is going to reflect the biases of westerners and the claims of western governments right? As someone who is studying history in an official capacity as we speak it is laughable that you would use it as a source. it is legitimately especially egregious that you would use a western non-primary source to back up western claims about their largest geo-political enemy.
