When will Chinese 'liberals' learn that no amount of caping for Western principles can override how their identity is perceived in the Western system?

@tianyuf It's not too late to save yourself bruh
@tianyuf you're in China right now, taking virtual classes. You should go to Xinjiang and show us some camps, since you believe this BS.

You're a PRC citizen. You have no travel restrictions. You believe the atrocities are real, right? Prove it. Prove it to the world.
And before someone complains 'this is private info', go check Tianyu's TL and his page at the Stanford Daily you dummkopf
@tianyuf You're in China and you can obviously travel. You believe there are atrocities in Xinjiang. So prove it. Your buddies at ASPI even put dozens of the 'camps' on maps for you to find. Go and satisfy their curiosity as I'm sure they'd love for you to do.

1/ The polls have closed and it seems you'd like me to expose a 'China Watcher', so here goes....
2/ Our China Watcher today is James Lin, a respectable professor for a respectable school with a sizeable Chinese student body Image
3/ How did I hear about James? Well, a few months ago, someone sent me these screencaps ImageImage

Senior US regime official from the nominally 'reformist' camp finally admits that the US views China's economic growth itself as a threat ImageImageImage
For all you Chinese 'liberals' out there, it is time to disabuse yourself of the notion that the US or the West in general will ever be 'friendly' to China.

Here, they admit it: as long as China is growing, they will seek to constrain it.
This is why I believe China should move on Taiwan sooner than later: if the US is going to try and constrain China's development no matter what, the US will never negotiate in good faith. In that case, it's better to 'negotiate' from a position of strength.

1/ Definitely give this a read. Goes to the heart of l'arrangement infernale that Facebook has struck with the BJP in India wsj.com/articles/in-in…
2/ This infernal bargain is that the BJP will help boost FB's userbase and engagement metrics in India, while FB turns a blind eye to the BJP's increasingly violent oppression of non-Hindu religious adherents to build a majoritarian Hindu coalition
3/ This infernal bargain also extends to the BJP's imposition of political controls on capital and tech inflows into the Indian market under Atmanirbhar, to force foreign companies to embrace its majoritarian politics and partner with favored domestic oligarchs

1/ Articles like this should tell planners that Taiwan's army might surrender en masse when the actual fighting comes defence-blog.com/news/army/taiw…
2/ Like, imagine you are Sergeant Drun in the ROCArF. "Sgt Drun hide your tank platoon in this parking garage. Do not move until ordered to"
3/ When T-day comes, you sit tight, while PLA choppers fly overhead and explosions happen all around you. Your comms are dead. You can't move because there's a 5km traffic jam both ways right outside the main exit of your parking garage.

1/ I think Chinese liberals will never be relevant to the majority of Chinese people
(as for whether that's a good thing or not, I'll leave that up to you)
@timeswang
2/ Chinese 'liberals' believe (to varying levels) China should allow free speech, press, and religion, multiparty democracy, less military spending, and allowing some level of regional self-determination

3/ These issues do not resonate with the majority of Chinese people. If China had an election today, Chinese 'liberals' would lose in a landslide.
