When China's prodigious tech influencer, Naomi Wu, found herself silenced, it wasn't just the machinery of a surveillance state at play. Instead, it was a confluence of state repression and the sometimes capricious attention of a Western audience that, as she asserts, often views Chinese activists more as ideological tokens than as genuine human beings.

China doesn't care. They'll betray anyone in an instant, because they're fascists masquerading as the "party of the people".

The fact that there are so many pro-China supporters on Lemmy that want this shit makes me sad. Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad (same people), Hexbear...

It's mainly due to the fact that to us Westerners we wish we could have the stability in China. I will say I personally see China as a state that will crumble and then it'll reform to different communes (that is my hope). Or we get Romance of The Three Kingdoms but Cyber core
