@Duchess64 -
I already knew and mentioned (in a thread years ago) that China had sent ships, bringing silk and porcelain, to Africa
during the Ming Dynasty, The Africans evidently often had a problem finding enough goods to trade with the Chinese.
And we all already knew about Winston Churchill

"Lies say that even I believe these lies
Western countries have always had a history of massacres, so that's why we say this about China
Let's just let you talk"
I guess this is a close approximation of what he said.
The post that was quoted here has been removedThe problem being, obviously, that the reports on WMD (UN, CIA, etc.) actually stated that there was no proof of WMD.
And many people protested. The intelligence services opposed. Human rights groups opposed. Left-wing politicians opposed.
The politicians lied and the UN failed. Colin Powell should have a statue in Brussels for people to piss on.
The reports on China and their treatment of the Uighurs are clear.
Are we once again to listen to politicians and national spin doctoring? Or do we heed the reports?
And yes. Europe has a very nasty history.
In part it’s the best argument to have the EU.
And because of the EU we have the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights); which is basically the UN charter on human rights built into formal law.
And because we have the ECHR we have the obligation to speak out about human rights abuses. Much like the UN does.
China is a nasty piece of 💩.
From the Confucianist patriarchial society, via their treatment of their own population, via the treatment of their minorities to their social credit system. They are nasty.
And yes, this is my Western European take on the matter. And it’s a take which coincides with my take on Israel, the Philipines, Saudi-Arabia, Britain, the US and various Dutch political parties (to name but a few).
If it looks like 💩, smells like 💩 and feels like 💩... don’t eat it.
And this has nothing to do with the Chinese people. It’s about their government and politicians.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidAll of a sudden, the Princess has no faith in #METOO, eh? 😆
Did you not watch the report and hear the testimonies of the victims of the terrible abuse? Are they not to be believed?

Why can’t Duchess64 handle the truth about China?

The post that was quoted here has been removedWords are so funny sometimes:
In reality, I have criticized United States government and even American culture many times. I refuse, however, to parrot the obligatory Duchess64, anti-Western racist line here, demonizing the United States and dehumanizing the American people. (Duchess64 has enjoyed attacking all American people for allegedly loving to wallow in wealth.) And the racist anti-Westerner here keeps showing her absolute intolerance of any dissent from her shrill hate propaganda demonizing the United States and the American people.
Duchess64's structure...my words.
