World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You're right Tibet isn't even real. Avatar the Last Airbender isn't an allegory to anything.
Hahahaha China's imperialism is always like "the Chinese army arrived, the enemy laid down their guns and embraced their saviors. There was 90,000 less Tibetans two years later"
And you think anybody buys it.
It's like the fishermen vessels shit they pull, tiananmen square, "color revolutions" it's so childish. Absolutely pathetic and transparent.
The Tibetan civil war is an extensively documented historical event. Until the 1980s it wasn't even controversial that China aided the popular uprising against the Child Rapist theocracy in charge. Even then the current propaganda line is 'it wasn't even a real civil war, it was instigated by communists living in the country knowing they'd get Russian and Chinese support.'
The propaganda has never been 'there was no civil war china, despite being incredibly vulnerable and weak having just won its own civil war and recovering from the early days cut off by the Western world for choosing communism, just decided to invade a country randomly for imperialism despite not having a national identity yet that would imply imperialism.
Your misunderstanding, or total ignorance of history does not mean there's a magical conspiracy from those evil communist slurs.
You peeked my interest and I did a little research. Needless to say your take is garbage apologist nonsense.

China is on record in the 50's stating that Tibet was a vassal state. Your denial of imperialism is outright pathetic.

Thanks, I didn't catch that.
You're welcome. Thanks for not getting upset with it.
The age of consent in China is 18, actually. The confusion comes from the fact specific propagandists want you to think 'more serious consequences for victims under 14 means victims have to be under 14 to have any consequences.' If you're over 18 then under 18 year olds are off limits
I promise the weird site you got that off of isn't accurate.
Also the child rapists were the religious theocracy the people rose up against and overthrew. They had institutional child sex slavery. This wasn't the main cause of the civil war, but it was a serious part of it. The Dalai Lama is a pedophile. He wants to re-institute child sex slavery. That is the 'state' he wants returned.
Read the next section. The one that states any adult with 'power over' a minor above the age of 14 commits rape.
No, it's not the specific escalated charges for people under 14. Like every country has a special set of laws for young children that do not apply to all children.
No it doesn't. The age of consent in pedophile haven China is 14.
This section? It's 14.
This literally is them legally defining the age of a minor. Which is 14 and below. The age of consent is 14.
