This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm not saying the US is good in that regard, but don't forget about the ethnic cleansing happening in Tibet and Xinjiang as well as the region bound system thing that effectively by law keeps poor people poor. China is way worse than the US.

Are you living under a rock? What do you think the US is doing right now to its own people?

That's why I'm saying it's rapidly changing

but don’t forget about the ethnic cleansing happening in Tibet and Xinjiang as well

The thing is, alleged "secret ethnic cleansing" that still has no direct evidence after a decade is not as bad as the visible abuse that the US publicly lumps on minorities. I'd rather live in Xinjiang than be a black American any day, and the statistics back me up.

China is way worse than the US.

Only if you're a white supremacist.
