    China has a number of affirmative action policies that would be called reverse-racism in the US and Australia, like the big one is that ethnic minorities can get a couple extra points on the very competitive university examinations but there are any number of benefits you can get depending on region.

      Minorities were never affected by the one-child policy. They could have as many children as they liked. So the Han are the ones suffering demographic collapse in all those Zeihan videos where he won't shut up about it. Great Replacement, anyone?

        Ethnic chauvinism is when you limit the births of the group you allegedly think is superior

    persecuting non-Han, non-white people

    by continuing to exempt all non-Han peoples from state mandated family planning laws? How very effective

    FYI to everyone here: Stan Grant is an indigenous Australian

    He is, however, a fucking sellout think-tank wonk and a huge China hawk. He is so fucking enraging that it would take me a while to come up with the lengthy coherent criticism he deserves, which I don't have the power for due to covid

    So much of the commentary around China avoids the question of race

    Where's this article hosted, Breitbart? Every other fucking article about China is either filled with comments about how the 'Asiatic brainpan is inferior to the European one' or the article itself is about that

    If whiteness is power, Xi is it's champion

    followed by

    Stan Grant is the ABC's international affairs expert

    Goddamn what a gig, just spew the dumbest shit you could solicit off of twitter, make it work appropriate, and crowbar together a bunch of words that sound vaguely proper and intellectual

      I saw a poll sometime back and like half or more of the country of Australia thinks China is gonna invade them and go to war with them. They are actually deranged. If any of them were actually serious about the idea they'd stop exporting the billions of dollars of coal they export to China. I feel like not contributing to this so called imaginary future war would be kinda important if it was a genuine threat. But Australia has a ton of domestic issues and a good ol "yellow peril" is a good enough distraction as it seems to work quite well.

        Not surprising given the "culture" they produce. For those unfamiliar, Tomorrow, When the War Began is about a group of teenagers starting a guerrilla war when Australia is invaded by an unidentified "Asian" force. They never get more specific than that, and the whole series follows essentially child soldiers fighting the evil occupiers.

    So will we be sending them billions in weapons now or is that just for white white supremacists?

    So many of the commentators discussing China - predominantly white voices

    :wonder-who-thats-for:

        But this is the political context and that’s important to understanding why he wants to align indigenous and race activism with anti-China “yellow peril” imperialist fear mongering.

        I always wonder how much mileage "white people aren't taking the China Problem seriously" actually gets.

        It feels like Westerners have bought into their own Woke Leftist mythology.
