It’s all allegations, they never even confirmed any cultural genocide taking place in China. Why doesn’t the US just send a NATO rep to investigate and confirm or deny any events taking place?

Oh right, western propaganda

    I haven't followed the Winter Olympics stuff becuase its all fake white people sports, but did Mao show up in the opening ceremony?

    Like the 2008 opening ceremony very intentionally didn't have any communist symbols or figures, like modern China really didn't feature at all and it was all about ancient Chinese history.

    It would be very based if they made all the world dignitaries sit and quietly listen to four hours of Mao quotes and red songs while performers act out fighting imperialist, the Long March and executing landlords.

      The thing about it being “white people sports” is pervasive enough that I genuinely don’t know what a non-Anglo winter sport would even be.

        China has a huge ice sculpture festival every year. I think Japan also has something similar. They should just turn the Winter Olympics into an ice sculpture contest, it would be way more fun than watching boring ass winter sports no one cares about.

          huge amounts of "wypipo stuff" come from POC cultures, and have just been force memed long enough to trick everyone into thinking that whites invented it

          the oldest known saffron use comes from Iran, not Spain

          Arabic numerals come from India (and are termed 'Arabic' because that's where euros got them from)

      I didn't care to watch the opening but in the Swedish papers they unironically had the take that the omission of Mao is a statement by Xi that hes superior to Mao.
