Current Affairs China and its treatment of minorities

[Paris]

For some people, they see the word 'communist' and they immediately think that it's great and no amount of evidence to the contrary will change their mind.

These people are lost and not worth the time of day.

Trying your best to promote China again? Well let me help you, I’m sure in your eyes Taiwan is part of China.

Taiwan to donate 10m masks to Europe and US

Pledge to provide far more than China promised risks angering Beijing

Taiwan's foreign ministry said 7m of the masks would go to the EU and particularly hard-hit EU member countries as well as the UK and Switzerland, a pledge more than three times the amount China promised the EU.

Well done to Taiwan. They get plaudits too.

We in this country cant afford to be choosy over the source of equipment that can help protect us. That's because our own government wont provide it.

You have zero chance of getting Davek to admit that China was in any way responsible for this virus....it was created by the murderous Tories to Kill everyone in England....,

It's true though, this is a picture of Boris' desk as we speak.

The level of anti-Chinese sentiment, I've noticed, has been building for a long time on this forum - seeded by a clutch of posters. The Honk Kong riots thread was the first time it (and they) came to my attention.

But back to the issue: the virus that has had such a global impact has more to do with globalisation than where it may or may not have originated, surely? Travel and trade. That would be the rational way of looking at it. But some here take the Trumpian view of it being 'Dat Chineez dizeez lad'. Pretty sad really that other posters have been duped by the new cold war posters.

The only thing that matters is people getting the help they need. China providing it means next to nothing.

The Chinese providing help, is like running over someone in your car, offering to give them a lift to hospital and then somehow selling your damaged car to them on the way there lol

Chinese propaganda.

I hope they’re taken to the cleaners.

How anyone who can defend a country with terrible human right violations I don’t know.

Where was I complaining about it? I think you'll find I was exasperated about the need to be important in anything from a country that barely makes the top 20 countries in GDP terms.
