I’m not here to argue. If you don’t agree with my point of view, please assume that you are right. I’m just stating what I’ve seen, the life I’ve lived, and the experiences I’ve had.

Exercise your critical thinking muscles and stay classy.
Do you have any proof? A photo of a history book or newspaper would add credibility.
Can you give a top 5 list of things you disagree with in regard to the CCP?
Are you being paid to post here?
I posted this thread to find out how many people with clear minds there are on this forum.
Do people in China pay rent? I heard that rent is based on income so if you lose your job, you pay no rent.
I’m genuinely curious about exactly how communist China is and what differences there are between US and Chinese society. Seems like a hybrid of capitalist and communist.
What’s your favorite Chinese dish?
I don’t have a favorite one. I’m tired of eating (Chinese food). Comparatively speaking, I prefer Western cuisine.
Oh well. Asking because Chinese food in my country allegedly has nothing to do with China really.
As a citizen, what’s the most effective way for you to bring about change on a government policy you don’t agree with?
There are so many methods, such as reporting on the government platform website, making a call to the complaint hotline, and sending a complaint letter, and all of them are very efficient.
It’s good that those resources exist. What if it’s a policy that the government is not open to feedback on?
If the feedback is not accepted, it can be provided to other departments, such as the procuratorial department.
Do you agree with the government arresting people for writing queer erotic fiction?
I don’t know what the queer erotic fiction you mentioned is.
Here, learn some things about the country you’re LARPing being from.
You don’t seriously think that homosexuality is prohibited in China, do you? Oh my goodness!
I work with a Chinese guy named Feng Something. Is Feng his family name or his given name (or neither? I have no idea how Chinese names work). Also, I heard someone mention him once, and I thought it sounded more like Fong… how is it properly pronounced?
I can’t send you a voice message.
How many people were massacred during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989?
fake news
You’re calling the CCP liars? A bold move.
The CCP goes to hell, the CCP is all bastards, is that enough? Who the hell cares?
I just want to say if you are indeed a Chinese person, thank you for sharing your unique experience with folks from the west. I can’t really tell for sure based on your post history whether you truly are or not, so for the moment, I’ll take you at your word.
I do want to say that I deeply agree with this statement from your comment history:
I’m saying that all new energy electric vehicles are industrial waste.
Because yes, we could be doing so much better for the environment with bicycles and public transit such as buses and trains. The lie of cars is that they offer a freedom to go where you want when you want, but in large cities, that lie is shown for what it is, because when all the cars are on the roads at the same time, traffic happens and nobody gets to go anywhere they want at the time they want.
I really don’t care. I just want to kill time and see how many idiots there are abroad. If it’s like the situation I’m facing now, do you really think we care about Xinjiang rumors, Tiananmen Square, tanks, and other bullshit? These rumors have been around for decades. Who the hell cares? What we want is economic and military leadership. We really don’t care how you smear us.
Kind of an antagonistic response for what was actually a fairly neutral statement. Thanks for making it clear you’re not here with good faith intentions, I guess.
I’m definitely not being kind. Just go and see what kinds of questions these stupid people are asking me. Why on earth should I be nice? If I were abroad, I would have already picked up a gun and killed these idiots.
What’s going on with the Uyghurs in Xinjiang?
Xinjiang concentration camps and genocide are fake news, it’s that simple. Welcome to Xinjiang for tourism. You can find Xinjiang people in every city in China.
So this is all lies? Fake satellite images?
And other reports from people who have traveled there and confirmed with photos of these camps, interviews with people who live there who confirm… all made up?
Come to Xinjiang, China in person. Please, I just want to say this: come here in person and don’t read any articles.
That isn’t really a practical option for me right now.
Are you saying this as someone who lives there or has visited yourself?
Can you say anything other than, “come travel halfway across the globe and see for yourself”?
And is it illegal to go abroad in your country or will people be sent to prison for that? I have been to many countries around the world. Why is it that a Chinese person like me can go and see the world with my own eyes, but you can’t?
I have been to Xinjiang. I have a lot of videos and photos on my phone to prove that I’ve been there. Moreover, I have friends from Xinjiang in my social circle. I can show you the videos, and I can also let you make a phone call with them to verify whether the so-called “concentration camps” you mentioned actually exist. But what’s the point of all this? The question is, are you willing to believe it? If you don’t come and see for yourself, for a lie that has been spread for decades, will you really be so easily convinced and willing to change your mind??
Is it true people are scared to criticise the CCP?
I really don’t understand why you want to criticize the Communist Party of China. Has it imposed tariffs on you or put you in prison? The vast majority of us are busy struggling for our livelihoods, working hard for our jobs and taking care of our families. Who would casually discuss politics all day long and unjustly criticize the government without good reason?
I notice that you aren’t answering the question.
I don’t want to answer any questions that have a specific agenda behind them. They only want to hear negative news.
Okay, I assume this means “yes”.
Also, these repeated comments saying things are “fake news” or mocking people like “do you really believe that?” is how propaganda trolls act. Trying to make it seem like someone just just foolish for believing journalism, and claiming that news sources simply fabricate entire stories. Are we supposed to think that Reuters or the BBC are unreliable but some random person on Lemmy is trustworthy? Trust me, we’ve heard enough of the “fake news” idiocy from our president and conservative dimwits online in the past 10 years. If they don’t like something because it makes them look bad or challenges their beliefs, it’s FAEK or a conspiracy against them.
A less than one day old account that immediately suggests there are no compelling reasons to criticize the CCP? lol. Too on the nose.
I’ll say it again. If you think you’re right, then you’re right. Human beings, tend to choose the answers they want to hear rather than seeking the truth.
Did you say that already? Pretty non-sequitur it seems to me. Just answer the yes or no question, are there significant, legitimate reasons to criticize the CCP?
If you insist on using very rigorous logical thinking to analyze it, then surely there may be some people who claim to be “afraid.” However, you have to ask them why they feel that way. As long as you don’t commit murder or arson and other illegal acts, there is no reason to be concerned about “criticizing the Communist Party of China”
