Why do we ignore all the human right abuses the US perform abroad? Iraq, Afghanistan, now Iran, Gaza and Lebanon through Israel, support to Saudi Arabia (which would not exist without the US), El Salvador... And inside it's also horrible with its treatment to immigrant.

That should be at least comparable (if not worse) than what China is doing.

Yes, El Salvador is so evil for imprisoning dangerous criminals and protecting innocent lives.

El Salvador is blessed by evil criminals put away from the streets. It took thousands of those who you defend for a whole country to be free to enjoy tranquility and security. I was born there and I know better than you calling us evil

This is how china tried to justify its genocide against uighers. Was theboutrage against that just politically motivated? Or do americans only care about ethnic cleansing when theyre not the ones doing it

Not for imprisoning, but for imprisoning them in draconian conditions, without proper judgements, etc. Have you seen those prisons for fuck sake?

There’s little to no evidence of such “genocide”, but I can go on YouTube to watch videos of the US bombing civilians in the Middle East.

China is much better at hiding anything negative.

It's a little insane to me people comparing negatives of US and China. I mean, the simple fact we're allowed to say just about anything we want that is critical of the administration on this forum, in English and nothing happens is clear there is no comparison.

You have no idea the full breadth of the Chinese government because information is closed so quickly, in America it's all on display right in front.

It is just shocking to hear such stuff from someone in the UK.

The US supports the genocide in Gaza, it supports the bombing of Lebanon. The US itself has now started (another) war and bombed Iran.

China is repressing the Uyghur and threatening Taiwan. I don't agree with these actions but is really "orders of magnitude" worse than the destruction the US facilitates in the Middle East?

With Trump they are now openly hostile to European democracies, and ICE and doing their best at repression within the US.

And what is Europe going to do about it?

That isn't really the point though, of course the UK can't stop these things by itself.

The point is US "soft power" is eroding incredibly rapidly and this will have consequences

genocide right, that's why Uighurs were allowed to have more children than majority of Chinese Han population /facepalm

by your logic gentrification of neighborhoods with different people moving in is genocide as well

Btw. remind me when last tiem China bombed school and killed 150+ school girls as your friend US?

Or as Brit I hope you are proud about all the killing your country participated in in illegal invasion to Iraq based on fake news about WMD.

It's 2026 and people still believe this Uyghur genocide propaganda? In the meantime, Israel and the US have been killing people in the middle east for years, but china is "on a completely different level"?
