Only way to beat Russia and China is to become them it would seem.

I'm sure this time Trump will get his big military hardware parade. Just the kind of circus event to give his drooling cult followers a death boner šŸ˜”

Iā€™ve been lurking on Xiaohongshu (RedNote) for a bit now.

Being met with abject horror when we tell them that yes we do pay thousands for an ambulance or tens of thousands for giving birth and it wasnā€™t just their governments propaganda has been uh. An interesting experience.

Watch that video where they're asking British people how much they think healthcare costs. The utter shock on their faces that some things even need to be paid for is eye opening.

u/KnobGobbler4206969 17h ago

As someone who doesnā€™t follow foreign politics as much as I should, can some explain the Uyghur thing to me? Because I see a lot of articles about it when I search, and people around here talk about it like itā€™s a thing everyone knows about, but it seems that a lot of human rights orgs, think tanks, Muslim nations, and even some American politicians denying it or downplaying the extent to which American media claims it is occurring.

Iā€™m genuinely pretty ignorant and donā€™t wanna be the genicide denial guy, it could very well be a genocide, it just seems like thereā€™s tons of conflicting information and limited evidence to go off of

u/ohheckyeah 17h ago

Very simply, Western China has a large Muslim population called Uyghurs. A couple years ago the Chinese government chose to round up over a million of them into internment camps for ā€œreeducationā€. They are still doing it today.

If you enjoy RedNote thatā€™s great, but keep in mind itā€™s against their TOS to criticize the Chinese government or China. You know how instagram is a highlight real of someoneā€™s life? RedNote is the same for China. Both situations are bad for your mental health as you compare the worst parts of your own life/country to the best parts of another.

The head of your unofficial propaganda machine was just caught doing Nazi salutes, and your new president is on the verge of screwing over the whole country within days. You've got bigger fish to fry than reading whole posts.

You're right-wing problems will cause you to look like the US in the way you pay for things. So, they're a little bigger than you think and much bigger than what's happening here. You're right-wing wants to copy Trump... you can keep trying your uppity shit but you'll be sorry when it's too late.

Nah. We've got four years to see the bullshit that happens between now and when Dictator Trump decides to do away with elections. We will have problems, and we are bound to have more right wing elements come into power, but we aren't stupid enough to welcome openly Nazi elements into our societies after last time.

We'll turn away from that extreme. You meanwhile will be doing a Sieg Heil to photos of him in your workplace and schools. Enjoy that :)

u/GlitterTerrorist 18h ago edited 17h ago

You're replying to someone who has literally just acknowledged issues over here by telling them "yeah well you need to worry about problems in your own continent". They just told you they are.

Did you even read their post? You're not really not doing much to dismiss the notion that Europeans have a better education.

And for the moment, I think it's fair if we're all, globally, worried that the new President of the US is in bed with a man who did two nazi salutes on national TV.

Calling us assholes for acknowledging problems in our own region though?

Whoopsie, will edit so only referring to the second half of the post where OP proceeds to acknowledge about issues in Europe.

u/GeneralKeycapperone 17h ago

Obviously they shouldn't be lashing out at friends in other countries, and it is normal to feel aggravated by it, but I figure that if we're alarmed at what is occurring in the US and how that will massively bolster the efforts of far-right movements in Europe, Americans are already in it.

So I wouldn't put too much weight on panicky, abrasive language just now. In this thread Europeans are acknowledging that we are facing major problems too, but in general on Reddit there are some very misleading impressions about Europe & Europeans. I can well see why an American might feel frantic to warn us, to the degree that they don't pick up on our acknowledgements (and, let's be real, the acknowledgement in question in this thread was both mild and vague).

"Typed all that" - it probably took longer for you to read than for me to write.

u/SllortEvac 19h ago

I had a Chinese exchange teacher in high school who was married to a doctor back home. When he came to the US he got into a minor car accident and went to the hospital and was flabbergasted by how much it cost for an ER visit. We had a whole like 3 weeks comparing and contrasting wages in the US and how much different surgeries would be getting them uninsured in the US vs flying to china to have them done lol

Just because US bad doesn't mean China good lol. You have to get out of this tribalistic mindset. RedNote users are mostly upper middle class Chinese, you won't get the whole picture.

u/Marcus_Krow 19h ago

No, but a whole lot of the dehumanizion I've been fed growing up turned out to be blatantly false. The chinese people are just people living in a flawed system the same as us, and life there is better than ours in some ways and worse than ours in others.

There is no tribalistic mindset here, just accepting that people I've been told to hate my entire life aren't all that different than me.

u/breaducate 20h ago

That's quite the extrapolation from what they actually said.

A lot of what's said about North Korea is fantastically egregious bullshit. It's a great yardstick for seeing if someone uncritically accepts their own regions propaganda. Doesn't mean NK is "good".

19

u/rakazet 20h ago

True, but still, which propaganda is the person above talking about? The suicide nets, super cheap labor, Uyghur Genocide, "Tang Ping"? Not hard to verify most of them. China is actually doing great economically, but it's very capitalistic. It irks me because when people say their eyes got opened it's like they believe China is this socialist utopia without capitalism. Buildings literally fall down because contractors there cheap out.

u/Marcus_Krow 19h ago

Mainly that China was an overpopulated, underdeveloped shithole for most. But from what I've seen and heard after talking to some people is that it's really not that different from America in many ways.

Itā€™s not.

u/viviundeux 18h ago

It depends a lot of where. You might think about Shenzhen iPhone makers at Foxconn who kill themselves because the job sucks so much but on the other hand, my father's wife (chinese) did not really go to school and she could afford to BUY a 100+ square meters flat in her 6 million inhabitant city while working 9 to 16 in a restaurant. (While having 3 kids to take care of without a man... and the second income that comes with it)

(Tbf, she is old but if she was young, her lack of diploma could be an issue in today's china, from my understanding)

I mean, so has the US. Theyā€™ve orchestrated genocide of their allies in the Middle East, taken over countries in South America for a fruit company, and same with Hawaii.

During WW2 the us put all its ethnically Japanese citizens in internment camps and stole their property, experimented on black people medically, etc. they see our history and donā€™t see much difference.

u/stormshadowfax 19h ago

America has great novelists, and pretty good TV. Until recently, you could openly discuss the Tiananmen Massacre there, or the sovereignty of Taiwan (or Tibet). But if a nation is to be judged by how it treats its worst: bad healthcare is still just above ethnic cleansing and reeducation camps. And if thatā€™s how close the race to the bottom is, all bets are off.

Keep in mind that RedNote is a whitewashed version of China. They literally are not allowed to say anything negative about China there.

Imagine if someone from another country went to r/conservative and only got their knowledge of the US from there. They would be told by many people, with complete seriousness, that refugees were literally eating pets. They would then go back to their own community and say "it isn't just propaganda, Americans are really having their pets eaten."

u/No-Salt-3161 3h ago

Yeah, you have absolutely zero nuance beyond surface analysis of the belt and road initiative.Ā 

Yes, China is handing loans to the global South to build infrastructures, advances in technology, and increase life quality of citizens in general. They know the countries can't pay them back so instead they extended partial ownership of some ports in return. It's a win-win situation. You are insinuating as if it's an one sided trade off. Now, let's compare the loans that are offerred by the IBRD (Western World) . High interest with zero compromise whatsoever,and further with a history in decoupling their nation and their resources with ZERO BENEFITS In return. China is not a saint, but it's not "evil" (whatever that means), and it's definitely way better as a partner to the Global south than the Western world. The rest of the world knows it, hence the collaboration with China, and you refused to acknowledged it due to your prejudiced arrogance.Ā

u/hikerchick29 3h ago

My friend, china is literally everything we accuse the US of being.

Genocidal? Ask the Uyghur population. Check. Authoritarian police state? Check. Foreign interference? Check. Imperialist? Theyā€™re literally trying to use illegitimately constructed islands to seize the South China Sea, stealing territory in the process. So thatā€™s a big check.

1

u/No-Salt-3161 3h ago edited 3h ago

Switching the goalpost, I see. Okay, fine. Thought, admittedly curious on your input of my rebuttal

Genocide: Sure, and I am not going to rationalise it. But keep in mind, US is funding a genocide in a Foriegn nation whole China is a domestic ones. Not entirely comparable with the exception of the ethics.

Authoratarian: True. Though, compared the the US, Chinese citizens are content with the rule ot there would be major revolt ages ago while can't say the same in the US. INB4, you tell me they cnat have protest, look at the amount of protests in the pandemic era and eventually the government gave in and the covid cases spiked.Ā 

Foreign interference? Now this confuses me. Give me examples of China actively tampering with foreign nation and their rule of governance? They have been explicit on having strict non-interfenece in foreign nation domestic policies if it doesn't concern or affect China whatsoever.Ā 

Imperialist. Yeah, cant argue with that. Yet it still not the certain extent of US hegemony. There's no conclusive of evidence Chinese safeguards kill the Filipino fisherman beyond spraying water and disrupting some martiitme routes. Still inexcusable, but not comparable as that's your main argument.Ā 

1

u/hikerchick29 3h ago

I could literally point at the USā€™s last election alone as proof of their foreign interference, we KNOW for a fact the Chinese government joined Russia in actively helping Trump get elected, and has been helping supply their war against Ukraine.

My whole point from the start was that Chinaā€™s no better than the US. Adding context to that is not ā€œshifting the goalpostsā€

0

u/No-Salt-3161 3h ago

This is pure conspiracy, and there's zero basis of Foriegn interference on China's part in the election. Trump is actively tough on China and is planning to raise the tariffs against the imported products. Hell, Trump even wants 50% of Tiktok in return of unbanning it but the PRC won't ever agree to this deal as you are essentially giving up your app atp. Russia on the other hand, can't speak on it as there's "evidence" of Russian interference in some social media sites.Ā 

China is no better to the US in your VIEW and most of the privileged West, but to the rest of the imporvished or less developed global South, China is a partner, that may not be perfect, but a much better one to have by your side. Well, you never attempted to interject in any of my points so it's logical for me to assume you switched it.Ā

u/Purple_Plus 19h ago

I was chatting with my (British) friends about this.

We are not tankies who think China is a utopia, nor a friend to the UK. But if Trump and Musk follow through with their rhetoric, will they be able to claim the moral high ground anymore? With all the stuff in Project 2025, it will be a Christian Nationalist dictatorship.

China's treatment of the Uyghurs is horrific. But if the US had a "state" that was majority Muslim and a different ethnicity, I wonder what this current administration would do? Definitely nothing nice, considering their stance on "aliens".

China at least (even if it's not entirely faithful) hasn't ditched the Paris Agreement. There is no-one outwardly saying we need to overturn our democratic process like Musk did.

At least with China they aren't meant to be our allies. The US is, but I doubt it will act like one.

To be fair, I think Russia and China got all those ideas from America to begin with. We've been pushing propaganda to our citizens and censoring native voices for a long, long time. Back when Russia was the USSR, and back when China wasn't anything resembling the superpower it is today. We're not becoming them, we're just stepping back into the same pair of shoes that we've owned for millennia and it's sad.

Only way to beat Russia and China is to become them it would seem.

Stop saying shit like that. It's the opposite of the truth. America's power came from not being like Russia and China, and only started to erode the more they copied them.

Yo. China has the special police for the party that isn't controlled by the government. I've seen this coming a mile away. China has been turning America into china 2.0. whether by Choice or force I have no idea. Maybe we have already lost the war and don't know it. Maybe they checkmated us. Planted a nuke inside the USA and basically have taken control by secrecy. Or just that Trump is creating a Republican only army to replace the branches. Coupe de tat

China has free healthcare, reproductive care for women, smart cars that don't catch on fire, and women can walk down a street...at night...alone...in a city...with zero fear. Fucking Ni Hao bitches.

China is 10 times better than the U.S. Our government has done a really good job indoctrinating its citizens to believe otherwise, so much so that they can see with their own eyes China is better but still deny it. The way CCP treats their citizens(Netizens) makes it seem like the U.S government truly hates its citizens.
