you forgot Place, North Korea:
Either paid actors or oooh so spooky literally 1969, there are government spies in the tree, the nort corean gobernment doesnt want us to see this photo and/or this photo was staged by the govornament for propaganda! Basically how they react to China but x10
it really is telling that liberals think the DPRK spends a majority of its resources putting on a show for western liberals, as if that's the main concern of the Korean people
Libs love pointing out atrocities and crimes against humanity in China (supposed or actual), but rarely, if ever, point out Japan's atrocities and crimes against humanity, and if someone does, they'll probably scream whataboutism for the 5th time today, call the person a China simp, or just immediately shut up due to running out of thin-as-paper arguments for today.
Liberals also just plain ignore differences in domestic policy between Japan and China. For instance, China has legal, free, and widespread abortion that's fully protected throughout the whole country. Japan's abortion rights are terrible, and sometimes involve seeking permission from the pregnant person's spouse, boyfriend, whatever. Abortion in Japan is only legal in instances of sexual assault or health complications, and even then it can be tricky.
Also, China's still progressing on trans rights, but at the very least China's building clinics for trans healthcare, and there's at least some government protection. It's not great, but it's only showing signs it may get better.
Japan on trans rights? Up until OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR (2023) it was mandatory to get sterilized to change one's gender on official documents. What the fuck. And that's not even done yet, since the courts may end up ruling that one still needs gender reassignment surgery to change documents. Gender related healthcare is also completely unavailable to anyone under 18.
I'ma take the bait. Bringing up abortion in context to China might not be the best approach. Every time I've ever heard about Chinese abortions it's in context to the one child policy and uh .... The idea that Chinese population strongly prefer male sons.
liberals are kind of sick in the head. No matter how peaceful or innocent seeming something is, if they find out it's from China they'll put the most absurdly negative spin to it
Hating Trump, Russia, and China has become their whole identity at this point. I think part of is that it's a coping mechanism. Anytime something bad happens that's a result of neoliberal policies they just deflect to one of the three.
