With the war in Ukraine tilting more and more in favour towards Russia, when do you guys think the war could be over assuming it continues at this pace?

Sure

Both cities are very safe, but I recommend Chengdu more than Shanghai. Cost of living in Shanghai is pretty insane, especially if you come from a 3rd world country with bad currency (tho sill better than many major cities in the west).

Chengdu is a lot more affordable if not cheap, from what I've seen of property prices. Also Shanghai is pretty hectic but I hear Chengdu is laidback, so that's nicer. Also Chengdu has absolutely beautiful mountains.

My family is very very anti-west, but most of my extended family has emigrated to the West and have been inundated with this funky anti-China shit (despite us being Chinese diaspora). It gets worse because a few of them are married to people who work in government of these Western countries, so they're sure to be getting political knowledge from them.

I plan on having them go to China, because I have seen anecdotes of people being cured of their anti-China brain worms, or at least it plants the seed of doubt in their mind. But also I just kinda want to see their chud reactions, in awe that the supposed authoritarian state is literally 10x better.

I refuse to believe that Taiwan even disrespects Sun Yat-Sen so much seeing as he is seen as "ideologically neutral father of the nation" to them. But I can't see a way this isn't true seeing that Extra History is made by westerners. But the picture is enough proof enough that the Taiwanese Hanjian NEED re-education.

Thanks comrade

Are they genuinely socialists? My, I guess wrong impression, was that they were more of a controlled opposition, any reading on this you can provide?

Sorry, when I say that I mean what would you label that, just curious to know.

Propaganda site? And what you think HRW is totally impartial and unbiased? If you don't want to read the article go and look at the sources then. They're there for a reason.

And you think because it's a YouTube link that it's somehow untrustworthy? Where else do you want to find videos online? Dailymotion?

The first video is of a guy who was and idk if he still is a top source on the Xinjiang "human rights abuses" stuff. The second being another one of these "reliable sources". I put the videos there to show how disingenuous these "sources" are.

The HRW article doesn't have anything to prove these "sources" to be true. And so you can infer who is really trying to tell a lie.

Also if you still believe this stuff, HRW themselves have condemned Muslim countries who have investigated the conditions in Xinjiang, found nothing wrong and supported China.

Alot of the time the west uses Adrian Zenz (who you can read his Wikipedia page on why he is not trustworthy and is doubted even among European academic circles)

Here’s some reading and videos about the Uyghur stuff:

Yes, because Palestine is an undeniable issue that is as obvious as gravity, whereas this Uyghur stuff isn't. Them reporting on a true genocide doesn't stop them from being a western mouthpiece to parrot propaganda against their enemies.
