In a statement, Access Now says it was “told that diplomats from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) were putting pressure on the Government of Zambia because Taiwanese civil society participants were planning to join us in person.”

    That island contains the true government of China and the CCP will do whatever they can to hold onto power so I don’t think they’ll be fine until one destroys the other.

      That island contains the true government of China

      The Kuomintang (KMT) is a major political party in the Republic of China (Taiwan). It was the sole ruling party of the country from 1928 to 1949 in Mainland China until its relocation to Taiwan, and in Taiwan ruled under martial law until 1987.

      […] As a result of the 28 February Incident in 1947, Taiwanese people endured what is called the “White Terror”, a KMT-led political repression that resulted in the death or disappearance of over 30,000 Taiwanese intellectuals, activists, and people suspected of opposition to the KMT

      […]The Blue Shirts Society, a ultranationalist paramilitary organization within the KMT that modeled itself after Mussolini’s blackshirts, was anti-foreign and anti-communist, and it stated that its agenda was to expel foreign (Japanese and Western) imperialists from China, crush Communism, and eliminate feudalism.[72] In addition to being anticommunist, some KMT members, like Chiang Kai-shek’s right-hand man Dai Li were anti-American, and wanted to expel American influence.[73] Close Sino-German ties also promoted cooperation between Nazi Germany and Nationalist government.[74] The Kuomintang sought to build a one-party ideological state in China, called Dang Guo, to solidify its rule and ideological supremacy

      […]The New Life Movement was a government-led civic movement in 1930s China initiated by Chiang Kai-shek to promote cultural reform and Neo-Confucian social morality and to ultimately unite China under a centralised ideology following the emergence of ideological challenges to the status quo. The Movement attempted to counter threats of Western and Japanese imperialism through a resurrection of traditional Chinese morality, which it held to be superior to modern Western values. As such the Movement was based upon Confucianism, mixed with Christianity, nationalism and authoritarianism that have some similarities to fascism.[76] It rejected individualism and liberalism, while also opposing socialism and communism. Some historians regard this movement as imitating Nazism and being a neo-nationalistic movement used to elevate Chiang’s control of everyday lives. Frederic Wakeman suggested that the New Life Movement was “Confucian fascism”

      WHY ARE YOU SUPPORTING FASCISTS

        Can you point to the region where the Confederate government retreated to after the American civil war and remains in power to this day?

            I get what you’re implying but it’s not factually correct in this case. The Confederacy was dissolved after it lost the civil war, there’s no continuity with any of those state governments.

              Living in the Deep South: my ass. Even Operation Paperclip was modified off what the US did with the Confederate scum: placed them in government and other positions of power and influence.

              Sherman should have burned it all and salted the earth, besides.

                Let’s say there is a public school. I kill the principal, build a new school, hire 30% of the old school’s teachers, and completely change the rules and curriculum.

                Is the new school the same as the old school?

                    …trust me on this. Even the reconstruction and Jim Crow eras weren’t equivalent to what was going on prior to the Confederacy. I know from personal experience that the south is a shithole, but you got to give them credit where it’s due.
