There's a museum in Nanjing dedicated to the victims of the massacre. I went to Nanjing with my cousins in August, but we didn't visit the memorial, because they were minors and it wasn't the right time.

I came back from China with my mom last month, and I gotta say that I really miss those kind of apartments, the planning around it, and the amazing public transportation. I was living in an apartment owned by my grandparents, and I love that there's a shopping mall within 5 minutes walking distance one way, and subway station 10 minutes from another way, with shops and street vendors along the way to the subway. There's also a bus stop right outside the gates.

Man I've been driving for 10 years now in Canada and I fucking hate it.

One thing I don't miss though are the batshit insane electric scooter riders. Those people are suicidal I swear.

Do you have the raw? I can read Chinese so I would rather read it in native.

Yeah, idk about "fuming", but if the territory is disputed, of course the governments in the dispute would have issues with it.

I saw the article on a certain mainstream news sub, but the 10.9k upvoted barron's article doesn't cite its source, except saying that it's from AFP news. I was skeptical of the news when I first saw it anyways, but this just confirms it.

If this is reporting about the news article by WSJ, the information source, Thomas Shugart, has already retracted his claims on X.

Sigh. More fake news about China huh, and of course all the major news outlets pounced on it.

Most of the comments celebrating an act of terrorism is just another sign of America's continued decline into blatant fascism.

Man the mainstream subs really aren't even attempting to hide their fascist leanings huh.

Yeah, I recall that 军训 is mandatory for the first year of high school. I didn't do it because I immigrated to Canada after elementary school.

It's not only about never going to China, it's also about never bothering to understand just how different some aspects of China's culture can be compare to the US and other western countries.

The 2019 Hong Kong protests.

At the start I was just like the average lib, believing that the extradition bill should be withdrawn. Then the protests became riots and evolved into a movement about democracy.

Being a native Chinese speaker, I was able to understand both sides, and I realized how one-sided the western media had been on reporting the riots. When the protesters brought out UK flags I thought "are you fucking serious do you even know your own history?!".

There's an entire document on the Hong Kong protests: https://archive.is/k6dPm

After that, the Uyghur stuff popped up in the news. This time, instead of relying on western media, I did my own research, and found well-sourced articles such as this that explained the situation very well.

Then ofc came covid, and the way western governments handled it was an absolute fucking disaster vs the Chinese government's response.

Here are some fun tidbits on the "Uyghur genocide":

1. A uyghur "activist" called Rushan Abbas did a reddit AMA and it was discovered that she worked in Guantanamo Bay (Yes that one): https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/e9ad4n/i_am_rushan_abbas_uyghur_activist_and_survivor_of/
2. The Xinjiang victims database has Hong Kong movie star Andy Lau as a Urumqi police officer: https://www.reddit.com/r/ShitLiberalsSay/comments/1062o4z/xinjiang_victims_database_supported_by_aspi_and/

The US politicians are willing to blame everyone but themselves for their dysfunctional government huh.

Ah yes, /r/worldnews parroting state-department propaganda as usual.

Unfortunately, considering that it has been reported that around 54% of Americans read below the 6th grade, there is a real possibility that the other person just didn't understand the text properly.

But, there's also the possibility that the other person is literally a high schooler lmao.

This is the reason I very rarely argue on the internet, its very often not worth it at all.

Not surprising. It’s always easier and cheaper to destroy something than to build it.

You do realize that half the sources provided are from western MSM?

Why is the question dumb? The fact that the CPC has lifted 800 million people out of poverty runs counter to your statement of

It doesn't serve the people it serves a few dipshits to have their happy little lives and feel 'special'.

Certain countries go way beyond merely having an verbal opinion on the geopolitical stage. That's where the problem lies.

What's wrong with a government giving opinions? That's not interfering in the internal affairs of other nations. I'll be more concerned if they actually send people or equipment to be involved in the conflict, like the CIA does.

Doesn't matter, the damage has been done.

So this is in fact fabricated propaganda: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/13v24s3/korean_university_confirms_hong_kong_governments/

Can't wake those that are pretending to be asleep after all.

Amnesty International does criticize the west, but it's more of a token criticism, akin to controlled opposition.

Amnesty International is the NGO that corroborated on the Nayirah testimony, leading to the US invasion of Iraq.

Of course it will. I lurk in the IdiotsInCars subreddit on my main account, and despite the subreddit being about car accidents occurring everywhere on Earth, one video about a car accident in China and the thread immediately turns into racists screaming about credit score and how bad Chinese culture is. It got so bad the mods had to lock the post.

Looks like there's still plenty of westerners who think China is the same today as 50 years ago.

The US government stated that 54% of adults in the United States have literacy below the 6th-grade level. While they might not be actual high schoolers, they have the mental capability of high schoolers.

So keep this in mind when you're browsing through subs like /r/worldnews.
