this is a call to action, not a complaint! the instinct behind the xi memes is noble but does little to expose the recent and significant harm that our overseas siblings endure. let’s channel our creativity in ways that positively break the mold, bringing awareness and empathy into the conversation.

    Taiwan whataboutism, “Tibet wasn’t a country” so it’s okay to invade them, don’t critcise china or you’re a “sinophobe”, appeal to authority (PhD? Sure you don’t even have a 101 on chinese history lol).

    My man, we are criticising the dictatorship of china, and you run to fund excuses not to, that’s why you’re tagged a tankie.

    IMO you should be tagged illiterate about the human history instead. Or dictatorship bootlicker.

      I didn’t attack you. No need to be rude.

      Edit: Also, Taiwan and Tibet are in the meme I’m responding to. Not whataboutism.
