Legit the most brain wormed China take I’ve seen in awhile. Lol I was gonna say someone tag @badchinatakes on twitter
Lmfao at Tibet.
Except unlike China the USSR was actually consciously structured as a union of separate nations which were able to break apart with some degree of continuity. China has probably had a majority of its modern land mass since like 1000 AD. Outside of the East Turkestan movement and Tibet, are there even movements within China that would even want to form a separate nation?
I have a feeling that even the Tibet and East Turkestan separatist movements are exaggerated. Certainly they are no more serious than the Catalan independence movement that was quite brutally crushed with hardly a side note in the media. For the rest of China, I don’t even think it is on the radar.
Must be nice, here the catalan movement is brought up whenerver it looks like the government might do something good for Catalonia.
“Hurr durr, our government is trying to get their support with bribes, grumble grumble” “Our government is trying to break Spain, grrr”
The government might FINALLY pardon and release some independentist leaders and the conservative press is being extremely annoying. (Just like the liberal press, which is “concerned”).
I’m Canadian and it sounds roughly similar to Quebec. Everyone always complains that they are sort of bribed to stay in Canada. Really they just know how to do politics.
It’s hard for a westerner to gauge the popularity of these things with the sources available to us because like Chinese government certainly publishing any polls about the popularity of Tibetan independence, and you obviously expect US sources to exaggerate these things, but I have no doubt that there is probably a fair number of people who support that, but if there were even a few cranks supporting independence for whatever region the usual suspects would be running with the story.
It’s not really a black and white issue because you can have greater autonomy while staying a part of China. From what I can understand, some degree of regional autonomy was basically baked into the system when it was realized fairly early on that China was way too big and complex to be effectively centrally planned, and that a degree of regional autonomy was essential. I think it is only natural that these regions should agitate for a greater degree of regional autonomy, but if they break completely from China then they only leave themselves open to exploitation by other imperialist forces.
Not really. Many regions with cultural minorities like Inner Mongolia seem to have some tensions over things like Language education, but no real separatist movements worth mentioning
PRC likes doing this X autonomous region/prefecture thing for their minorities and makes conscious effort to preserve their language and culture. Maybe that could be construed as a union of separate nations?
I think that’s on the level of like saying that the different native reservations in the USA would become separate states. Except not really because the Autonomous regions actually have significantly more autonomy than the reservations do.
Except not really because the Autonomous regions actually have significantly more autonomy than the reservations do.
Shouldn’t that encourage separatism?
Not usually. The more autonomous a nation(I’ll say for simplicity’s sake) is to operate within a state while benefiting from the state, the less likely it is to want to separate. There are a lot of costs associated with being a state, so the advantages of separation are very small compared to the disadvantages.
We all know that if shit goes loud the shaolin temple will send warrior monks to take over the surrouding territories
Wu-Tang! Wu-Tang! Wu-Tang!
Just like the USSR
As expected, these guys don’t give a shit about the Chinese people toiling under le evil SeeSeePee, considering how much of a disaster the USSR’s break-up was for tens of millions of people. They only care that a threat to the current world order is eliminated.
Also, imagine caring so much for the current world order when your country isn’t even at the top. Hindu Nationalism is one hell of a drug.
Liberals and leftists who dislike the CCP MUST understand that if the “evil CCP” is defeated, China will go down the EXACT same path as Russia. Leftists especially need to understand what color revolutions are. It seriously disturbs me how many “leftists” absolutely DESPISE China but have never done anything to counter U.S. imperialism.
I always found it interesting that the Tiananmen Square protests happened in 1989 right when all the other “pro-democracy” protests in the socialist world did, but it didn’t succeed.
“The students are nuts if they think this handful of people can overthrow our Party and our government.”

Tankiest I've ever been
This is why the repression at Tiananmen Square ended up being good for China in the long run
Tankiest I’ve ever been
:sicko-yes:
Damn out comes my inner :meow-tankie:
It’s infuriating because many of those “leftists” are simultaneously under the delusion that it’s best for everyone involved “in the long run” (but also Russia bad lol), for both China and the World. Even way back when I was an anti-China/USSR SocDem, I thought the USSR collapsing the way it did was an objectively terrible thing.
It seriously disturbs me how many “leftists” absolutely DESPISE China but have never done anything to counter U.S. imperialism.
They’re just neolibs who want Healthcare.
Years of imperial conditioning leaves lots of :brainworms: .
50 non-united states of China
:yikes-1::yikes-3:
What I’m kinda saying is this is what the us looks like to an untrained eye, is it really efficient to have so many? Makes sense for China or India but otherwise
The frankenstein mandarin-english-german-farsi-latin-turkic place names hurt my eyes
This is the Auntology thing, right? At least Basuria and Yuyencia. I don’t know a lot about it but I’ve read some articles.
why are there so many crosses why are there so many crosses
Millions dead.
Mfker is bringing back Chinese states in the spring and autumn period (more than 2000 years ago)
:agony: :agony:
This map destroys the mind of anyone who knows anything about Chinese history
Wtf is “Jingchuria” its called “manchuria” because of the manchus, there are no “jingchus”
I searched up one of the names of the countries and found the “official” twitter account of it’s “government in exile”, that has its pinned tweet as “god bless America”
I just commented on this tweet that a nice man in Naxalbari told me the same thing.
I studied Yoga in India and this guy David Frawley, who I think is an American who got super into advaita vendanta, did a satsang for us. After I got back I innocently decided to follow him on Twitter and that shit is fucking wild. It ranges from just outright neo Nazi stuff to unhinged neoliberal wet dreams to total bizzaro world reglious… Idk what to call it, but let’s just say it makes the American christian right look easy mode.
