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.”

    For real, lived in China for 5 years, it’s the most racist country I’ve been to. They even discriminate people from where they’re from in the country, it’s nuts.

    Can you imagine if the US started a legit government backed operation in 2026 called One US Policy and forced everyone be “white” Christians? And I don’t mean suggestions, they FORCED you to do it. It would be world news about how the US is racist and whateverist ect. China? Nah it’s cool they’re just “unifying”.

      What are you talking about? The “One China Policy” refers to Taiwan, absolutely nothing to do with the multiple nationalities inside China.

      You’re deranged if you think China is remotely as racist to its minorities as the US, country in which 20% of black men go through prison at some point in their lives and in which you have literal concentration camps for Latinos.

          American concentration camps with overwhelming video evidence of summary executions and independent journalistic reporting of mass-deportation of nationals 😌

          Chinese reeducation camps whose entire conspiracy about human right abuses comes from a co-founder of the Victims of Communism Memorial Association and which have been closed since 2020 😡

              They would both be bad if both were real, but one of them is manufactured by western imperialists and propagated by Zionist media, brother. If you actually cared as much about the Uyghur as you concern-troll to, you’d know that the reeducation facilities have been closed for six fucking years now.

              The problem is that you don’t actually care about Uyghurs, you’re just using them as a convenient tool to China-bash provided to you courtesy of the CIA and Zionist media.

                  Literally yes, the ISIS-linked terrorist attacks of the 2010s stopped after the successful campaign. Again, if you people educated yourselves the smallest amount you wouldn’t ask such questions.

          From Wikipedia:

          One China is a phrase with variant meanings, adopted by many states and other actors to describe their stance on the relationship between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) based on mainland China, and the Republic of China (ROC) based on the Taiwan Area. “One China” asserts that there is only one from the People’s Republic of China (PRC), despite the de facto division between the two rival governments from the aftermath of the Chinese Civil War

          I’ve been to China, mind you. If you visit their national history museum next to Tian’anmen plaza, you’ll be surprised to find how fucking woke they are with the constant references to the different ethnicities of China and their history even in some exhibits that, for historical reasons, center around “core” China.
