The pollution is the direct result of other countries outsourcing their manufacturing to exploit chinese labor for increased profits

The Chinese government allows this… Why is this the fault of everyone else? It’s the government’s job to regulate the industry and manage trade.

and they’re rapidly reducing that pollution with the infrastructure investments I mentioned.

Agreed. I hope it continues. I wish we could get BYD in NA.

The censorship is clearly necessary, as evidenced by the US getting absolutely bodied by relatively simple online disinfo campaigns.

I don’t disagree. But it is censorship; just calling it like I see it. It has both pros and cons.

And the ethnic cleansing is fictional, fucking duh. Uighurs are directly represented in the ruling party, their language is present in official documents and on their currency.

I would present evidence, but there is no evidence that you would accept so it’s kind of meaningless.

Xinjiang is literally open to foreign tourism right now, you could go there yourself and learn better in person.

I would love to go. Hopefully international relations will improve.
