For years, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has pushed ethnic minority groups like Tibetans and Uyghurs to adopt an identity rooted in Chinese nationality and allegiance to the ruling Communist Party.

Now, that push has been codified into a sweeping new law that reaches into classrooms, neighborhoods and homes – and gives Beijing the right to target people outside of its borders that it believes violate its rules.

The statute, officially known as the Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law, came into effect on July 1. It bans acts that “undermine ethnic unity or create ethnic division” among China’s 56 officially recognized ethnicities, which include a Han Chinese majority that makes up over 90% of the country’s 1.4 billion people.

    Says you, doing it for Israel and the Jeffrey Epstein Class instead, by promoting CNN which is known for serving those two with a fat smile on their face. I prefer China over your pedophile oligarchs. That’s just the final fact the entire world wants you to understand.

    It is also not genocide, you don’t have real evidence of it being so. Your sources are CNN and Fox News. Get out of here. The UN hasn’t called it one the same way it has with Israel. These numbers, these stories you will bring up, how do I know they are even real or not just another “BLACK PEOPLE IN OHIO ARE EATING DOGS AND CATS” type of nonsense being forced upon our throats by the same sources that denied Israel’s genocide?

    How do we know this is not just the average Western propaganda of dehumanizing an entire subset of people just the same way you did and keep doing with Muslims and Arabs? You successfully convinced a big portion of the world that they are all “terrorists,” “inherently evil,” and so on. You taught a lot of people to automatically hate brown people. All to commit genocide in the open for decades. How do we know this isn’t the same thing, but aimed toward China and the Chinese? They are your biggest threat right now. Economically and technologically.

        By promoting CNN, he’s promoting a source that is known for serving the Jeffrey Epstein Class. He’s normalizing it, giving it reputation. Thanks to him, people will believe CNN more often, be more vulnerable to the propaganda they subtly spread, like their anti-socialist comments about people like Zohran or recent socialist winners like Kiroz, Valdez, etc.

        It’s almost like they are trying to win your blind approval with headlines that make you feel good, like hating China, just so you believe them more often when it comes to dismantling socialism. I refuse to accept that. I am still open to being proven wrong about China, but not with these. You come across as incredibly untrustworthy. If anything, you’re only going to strengthen positive public opinions about China if you keep relying on CNN or Fox News for these narratives.

            All your replies are MAGA-coded: Simplistic, short, an attack to the messenger, not the message. “Wow, that’s the laziest argument I’ve ever seen” without explaining why or answering anything. That’s literally how Republicans reply online all the time.

            You are likely a Jeffrey Epstein Class supporter, trying to stop people in Lemmy from using critical thinking.

            Otherwise, go on and prove to us that it is really a genocide, and not just more Western propaganda to dehumanize China the same way you dehumanized Muslims so you could genocide them, you disgusting monster. It’s literally your talent to justify genocides with shit that makes you sound morally superior. You are committing second-hand genocide on Mexico and the Middle East while saying you’re not, so, how can we trust you with this one? How can we trust anything you say about China is even real or not, if you have gone as far as lying about your own people “eating cats and dogs” or committing crimes at rates they are really not…

              I’m against all genocides.

              What Israel is doing to Palestine is as horrible and as disgusting as what China is doing to the Uyghurs or what Russia is doing to the Ukrainians.

                Ok, it seems you don’t really have any genuine tangible evidence to back anything up, you just rely on headlines and vibes. You probably don’t even read the article or the content itself, because it was so vague.

                Thanks for showing me that you benefit the Jeffrey Epstein Class. I am done here. Witnessing another monster further getting millions of innocent people killed by spreading this type of attitude and promoting sources like CNN, is just too disgusting. I don’t need this today. I’ve already dealt with so many MAGAs this week.

                And never forget to say “What the USA AND Israel are doing to Palestine and Lebanon.” Not just Israel. The USA is the biggest problem there, they are the enablers. Even the Nazis were inspired by the USA’s way of handling things, like their praise for eugenics, racial segregation and anti-miscegenation laws. I wonder why?

                    This post is from CNN and you’re rallying behind it like it’s your big brother. Don’t try to argue semantics here, man. Just own it. Are you one of those leftists who hate socialism and still think America should be the “World Police”?

                    We can cut the chase here and just answer this simple question: If forced to choose one to be the role model for the world, the one under the global spotlight, which one do you think would give us a better world? China or the USA? No other choice, imagine you only had those two. Which one would you choose? If you answer that, you will easily show us who you are, if you truly care about the truth and the people as you imply.

      Do you think China is somehow outside the networks confirmed by the Epstein files? It’s a global pyramid

            So, can you prove that some important Chinese political figures are involved in the Jeffrey Epstein Files or not?

            Or why the fuck are you even saying this? I won’t take important claims like those lightly. I care about the truth, and you’re not giving it to me. So, fuck off, you stupid random weirdo. What a dumbass way to reply, what the fuck? Did you tap on the wrong comment or something? Like, the context, the jump you made, it’s so dumb. I just asked you to prove it, and you say this shit.

            You are desperate to have someone to smear too? You don’t want America to be the only villain? It is. America is the biggest terrorist of the world. Bigger than Russia even, and I hate both a lot. And I don’t even fully trust China, I have already shared some of my criticisms

              You have a huge claim. One country for some reason is not involved in a global pyramid scheme with networks beyond the tip of the iceberg of the files. And that country still keeps on acting like the other ones. But nobody but you knows it? But you want me to prove it for you? Your belief is yours

                Why are you calling it global? Its core was in America and Israel. Jeffrey Epstein was likely a Mossad Agent. Most of the emails, files, photos mostly show important American and European figures, from entertainment to politics.

                So far, these are some countries with powerful figures that appeared in the files:

                • United Kingdom: Former Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson.
                • Norway: Crown Princess Mette-Marit, former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland, and former diplomat Mona Juul.
                • Israel: Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
                • United Arab Emirates (UAE): Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem.
                • Slovakia: Former Prime Minister and UN General Assembly President Miroslav Lajčák.
                • France: Modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel along with various European figures utilizing French properties.
                • India: Business tycoon Anil Ambani.
                • Italy: Nicola Caputa.
                • Colombia: Andrés Pastrana.
                • Mexico: Carlos Slim & Ricardo Salinas Pliego.
                • Venezuela: Francisco D’Agostino.
                • Brazil (The Recruitment Pipeline) - Modeling Agencies: Jean-Luc Brune.
                • The USA president deserves the mention. The worst contender of all.

                For China, though. There are no CCP members or remarkable figures that have appeared in the files yet. If anything, you made me found a piece of lore that says Epstein tried to get a Chinese VISA to visit Beijing in 2012, but China rejected him because of his child sex abuse charges in 2008. Prince Andrew convinced Epstein to try again, but in the Paris’ Chinese Embassy, and to avoid ticking the boxes that admitted criminal charges, to trick Chinese immigration. He probably failed again, because there were no logs of him ever visiting Beijing. He also had some closeness to Hong Kong’s academic community in 2010, but those were students and teachers.

                The fact is: Most of Asia is clean regarding the files. The Middle East, outside Israel and the UAE too. Eastern Europe too; you won’t find powerful figures from Poland, Hungary, Romania, or the Baltic States. All 54 African nations are also clean… There are 195 countries in the world, not all of them were involved. I do understand the anger toward the elite class, and it is known Asia has its own issues with child abuse and sexual abuse, I’d not be surprised if they have their own version of Epstein or similar circles of powerful corrupted elite monsters doing these things. But I won’t make those claims with confidence yet until there is more evidence, they are just probabilities that help increase attention. Human Nature is what is global, and I think people should be taught Psychology much harder in school to learn how to control it, how to spot psychopaths, how to spot pedophiles, how to handle these things without resorting to violence, or before it causes harm to innocent people. But that’s just my fantasy, it won’t happen. It’s too late anyway, these elites are beyond redemption and need to be jailed permanently.

                Epstein was an American financier that mostly targeted Wall Street, Hollywood, Ivy League academia, British royalty, and the Washington D.C. political class over anything else. He did try to connect with Asia to use it as an escape plan once Western society closed on him, but he failed.

                Not all of these are proven pedophiles either, some were mentioned or at some point touched the circle, like attending similar high-society dinners and events. Don’t get me wrong, I’d vote for a complete overhaul anyway. I rather be safe than sorry. These people are good at hiding evidence, so, I’d rather remove them all from power and start over with new faces.

                I am not discarding the possibility that this is truly global and we’re missing more info that hasn’t been released yet. But, you cannot just make me pull the trigger blindly. I won’t do that. If a billionaire is NOT a pedophile, I will NOT call him a pedophile, but I will still eat it, because being a billionaire or excessively rich is a crime against humanity.


                See, this jump you made, to instantly assume CCP members were involved, when there is no real evidence of that yet, is what I mean with these types of posts and Anti-China messaging. This is why I am skeptical of your claim that China is doing a genocide. How do I know if you’re not rushing it the same way you rushed this?

                  You’re making big leaps now on ad hominem, that I’d be rushing. Also you refer only to the files, as if (unconsciously?) shifting the goalposts.

                  Nothing is saying Epstein is the only node of the network. Nothing is saying that’s the only network. Especially when countries act, have acted and keep on acting towards the shared agenda of these groups clearly “above” nations. China keeps a tighter lid for sure, but it has leaked in the past and it seems to differ when an ultra wealthy gets caught and skips the consequences or when one becomes an example. Just like everywhere else.

                If you cannot prove that there are Chinese political figures in the files, if you simply shot that blindly, you are a fucking Jeffrey Epstein Class Supporter. They love idiots who show blind loyalty like you. I am not showing that, if you can give me the names, I will just distrust China more than before, who cares? The USA is still the biggest priority, they are the ones killing millions of my people in Mexico, Latin America and the Middle East too. You just want to distract people with China so that you can continue killing us in peace. Fuck you, demon.

                It’s going to be incredibly easy for people to prove that you are benefiting the Jeffrey Epstein Class if you keep replying like an angry brute. Is that your goal?

                    You denied the genocide you are committing in Mexico and all Latin America and also the Middle East. You are believing a probable hoax about China, with no evidence you can give about it, which is what I want to be sure that this merits the hate. I don’t even like China, because it is genociding LGBT culture, and it sells precursor chemicals to my local Mexican Narcos which they use to synthetize fentanyl and kill thousands of Americans with it. I hate that, but people like you piss me the fuck off, you push me to feel indifferent about it sometimes. Is that your goal? To skew the truth about China? To further cause unnecessary friction? This is exactly why America should not be heard anymore. Your opinions and sources are heavily contaminated, THEY ARE REACTIONARY
