As of January 2024, the ROC has formal diplomatic relations with 11 of the 193 United Nations member states

Of course it is. The cold war never ended and neither has its propaganda. Technically this is war propaganda, because the civil war between the PRC & ROC still hasn’t officially ended, which is why Taiwan is still a part of China.

Are you going to bring links to Radio Free Asia or Adrian Zenz next? What you don’t realize is that you’ve been propagandized even more than the Chinese people themselves.

You’re confusing Dessalines for Nutomic.

I don’t have a boot in my mouth, and nobody asked you to believe state media. In fact the links I posted were Western corporate media and the United Nations. You’re raging over a straw man you’ve made up in your head.

He is a hack, but probably not in the way that you think.

Sometimes he’s right, though.

Bullshit articles about China are a de rigueur for Western media, because god forbid you should encounter the threat of a good example.

Last time I checked, there were still not few people living in abject poverty in China and a shitload of people being worked for less than a living wage.

How long ago was that?

• United Nations Secretary-General, 2019: Helping 800 Million People Escape Poverty Was Greatest Such Effort in History, Says Secretary-General, on Seventieth Anniversary of China’s Founding
• Reuters, 2018, China overtakes U.S. for healthy lifespan: WHO data
• The Economist, 2021: At 54, China’s average retirement age is too low
• Bloomberg, 2024: China’s Energy Use Per Person Surpasses Europe’s for First Time

Also whats with the rooftop safety nets at Chinese factories.

That wasn’t a common thing, it’s not a thing now, and it was the result of Foxconn’s illegal labor practices which the “authoritarian” state has since put the kibosh on.

Also China has like the second most billionaires in the world. What kind of “socialist” state is fine with having billionaires?

On the off-chance that your question isn’t rhetorical, previously.

I got here too late to see your comments, but getting a three day community ban for gatecrashing with accusations of crypto-fascism seems pretty reasonable.

I don’t think most people know what that is—including me—so it’s probably just you.

You’re not helping your case by overgeneralizing this overgeneralization to include all .worlders.

It’s literally impossible for you to have been here longer: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Lemmy

(*aesthetic; ascetic is a different thing)

I haven’t noticed a recent uptick myself, but the usual suspects have been pushing that narrative for years.

A lot of instances defederated from the .ml ones

Last time I checked, infosec.pub was the only instance of any nontrivial size (319 users / month) that was defederated from lemmy.ml.

For which you have precisely the same “evidence,” no more, no less.

Yes, I know that’s all you’ve got as far as lemmy.ml promoting transphobia goes.

Accusations of genocide denial isn’t the cheat code you think it is, or do you not deny the genocide of white South Africans? And what say you to this one? Previously.

And if accusations of promoting transphobia held any water, blahaj & hexbear would have already defederated from us.

blahaj isn’t particularly hostile toward anarchism or democratic socialism, I don’t think, but it’s largely a liberal instance. It’s defederated from hexbear & lemmygrad, so a lot of socialist content is blocked.

dbzer0 is explicitly anarchist. It blocks lemmygrad but not hexbear.

slrpnk is anarchist-friendly and environmentalist. It blocks both hexbear & lemmygrad.

lemmy.ml is predominantly socialist. It’s federated with everyone except for porn and fascist instances^[1]. The only instances that block it that I can only think of are infosec.pub, lemmy.cafe, and programming.dev.

Quite a few instances are defederated from lemmygrad and/or hexbear. Hexbear is basically only blocks lemmy.world, and lemmygrad only blocks porn and fascist instances.
