If we don’t want to set rules against lies and propaganda, can we at least mark it as a “controversial community” so that it stays out of most feeds? Thanks.

    Are you expecting a community about China to be dedicated to shit-talking China or something? This isn’t Reddit. People sent you some great links in the comments of that last post. I suggest you unlearn everything you think you know about China, read the links, and learn about China from a non-Western perspective.

      I am learning about concentration camps from a non-Western perspective and it still seems like cultural genocide to me :(

      I don’t know, people in the US-- even many people who consider themselves patriots-- are just fine shit-talking the US, shit-talking capitalism, shit-talking the political party system, shit-talking prison slavery and Guantanamo Bay. Every time I try to talk about Chinese censorship and injustices on that community though, they deny them or pretend I didn’t say anything.

      Nationalism is absolutely stupid and everyone needs to stop doing it.

        Because you didn’t back up your claims at all, whereas other people replied to you with links that break down what you say as untrue yet you still keep saying them.

        Correct, that’s why most people here aren’t nationalist, and we certainly don’t welcome nationalists.
