It's sometimes hard to credit that there are people who think in such a contorted way as you apparently do. China isn't a democracy. The word doesn't apply when your choices for candidates can only come from one political party that pre-approved them. Don't be absurd. It's a one-party state in which variations of style among different senior figures are still forced together under the rubric of a general monolithic dogma that's only marginally beholden to public opinion, and very much subject to the whims of dominant figures. Also, many elements of the Chinese state are at least as conservative as the worst you could see in the U.S, just without the religious overtones. Truly, go study the subject and it's history a bit better. What's happening in Palestine, or more specifically in the Gaza Strip, is not a genocide. It's a tragedy of destructive military strategies by Israel, but calling it a genocide is demeaning to the definition of real genocides, which you should also study a bit better. >the most technologically sophisticated, surveilled, and completely enclosed death camp ever constructed by the U.S. and Israel Death camp, really? Also, if you're disgusted by technologically sophisticated, heavily surveilled, enclosed camps, then you really might want to find out what the Chinese "democracy" is doing in the Xinjiang Uyghur Region... | |||||||||||||||||

OP brings up a good point. The news likes to allude to China's "genocide" in Xinjiang, but no one is dying. At most they can stretch it to a "cultural genocide" but even that's not true as the native culture is not being repressed, only religious extremism. However it is true that thousands of Palestinian civilians are being killed and those same media are afraid to call it out. | |||||||||||||||||
