-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

china won't do jack shit to improve anyone's lives in iran or anything to stop the genocide and neutralize the threat of israel. pezeshkian is saying please help us and xi will be like hmm how about a loan and we keep buying your oil for way cheaper than it should be? china has good domestic policy for sure but im completely disillusioned with their foreign policy. fuck them.

[–] arogon9999@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Agreed, fuck China. Keep watching while a genocide is happening. The Japanese Red Army did fucking more with nothing while China sits on their ass as the 2nd most powerful country in the world.

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

5 year old account resurrects just to post against China for not doing enough per their own unstated standards.

The Japanese Red Army is disbanded and its members dead or in prison, having accomplished very little organizationally or to build power. The PRC has prevented billions of deaths even just in its own borders - and still exists as a project in which to struggle. So should we be sayinh, "fuck The Japanese Red Army" based on these objectiveoutcomes? That seems unprincipled.

Stalking post history doesn't change what I said. The PRC with all its power has done fuck all is my point. The USSR did more for the world with a fraction of the economic power of China. Why should I care if China becomes powerful when all they do is care about themselves. Useless country.

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago

Ah yes the roads, hospitals, ports, airports, schools, trains, manufacturing facilities, and green energy initiatives done in dozens of global south countries has only helped themselves. I guess Africans can't use roads or something, is that what you think? Only the Chinese get to use the railway in Kenya?

Stalking post history

As of writing my comment you had 3 thinga in your posting history. Two from 5 years ago and one from today. Don't you think it's exaggerative to call it stalking to simply make note of that?

doesn't change what I said.

It means, most likely, that you registered many accounts ages ago and are using it as an alt. This does actually cast your comment in a particular light.

The PRC with all its power has done fuck all is my point.

I believe your point, your thesis, which you led with, is, "fuck China". And for, as I already noted, not doing enough. Your rehashing here is pointless. If you want to die on the hill of it doing, "fuck all" then that is certainly a choice.

The USSR did more for the world with a fraction of the economic power of China.

The USSR did many great things. It also collapsed and took scores of socialist countries with it. It was also Zionist and integral to the creation of this settler-colonial genocidal project. As scientific socialists we must acknowledge not just what factors favor revolution and that we can impact, but what factors destabilize a state after the early stages. Much of the collapse of the USSR was due to failed internal struggles and organization, with Kruschev's nonsense as a canary in the coal mine.

I also would never accept the claim that the USSR had a fraction of China's economic power, it was massively productive and for more useful things. Much of China's productivity is for garbage products (not low-quality, just ridiculous products) for export to the US et al. But China is certainly powerful.

Why should I care if China becomes powerful when all they do is care about themselves.

Did you miss the part where I mentioned billions of averted deaths? Do you see zero benefit to the continued existence of a socialist project governing a state eith 1.4 billion people? And China does have a very conservative internationalism that nevertheless benefits the global south.

Useless country.

Objectively wrong.

Go charge with rifle and bayonet into Israeli lines, then, if that means anything.

[–] arogon9999@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Lol what a response for criticizing China. And ya Yemen, another poor broke country does exactly that and has tangibly hurt Israel bankrupting one of their ports while China abets a genocide. Never forget that.

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yup. Tired of everyone in here providing cover for China. They aren't doing shit except words of condemnation.

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why are you tired of it? Do you live in a country that does not have rampant sinophobia and anticommunist tendencies?

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

People in here seem to forget what critical means when they say critical support.

Aside from Iran, Yemen, and Hezbollah, and The DPRK, China is probably next in line for their support to Palestine, but that isn't saying much.

Have they sanctioned israel in any way? No, they restricted the sale of Chinese drones for military purposes, but they still end up in the hands of the apartheid regime.

They haven't restricted any trade on the basis of "israel's" genocidal onslaught. At least Colombia stopped exporting coal to them.

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And you believe Hexbear doesn't already have regular criticism of China's conservative foreign policy on this? I see this kind of thing mentioned every week.

Critical support honestly means very little when it is just anonymous people sharing opinions on the internet. What support? Pushing back on the predominant anti-China bullshit? Pushing back on the useless and incorrect Western leftist tendency to become ultras? It's not like a Hexbear from Florida is volunteering for the PLA or something. The extent of critical support in any of these spaces is just a rejection of anticommunist propaganda and unprincipled tendencies.

[–] MLRL_Commie@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

This kind of comment is why I hate the term critical support. It's been turned into some nonsense lol

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Critical support honestly means very little when it is just anonymous people sharing opinions on the internet.

Then one can say the same thing for support as well.

I still think China is the best country in the world right now, and have plans to move there in the near future.

But I also don't see how China directly funding a "country" committing genocide is excusable, and any criticism is labeled as anticommunist.

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This comment just sidesteps what I said

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How. I criticized china on one thing and you immediately called me anticommunist. You're the reason people associate us "tankies" as being insufferable. Touch grass please.

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How

By not addressing anything I said.

I criticized china on one thing and you immediately called me anticommunist.

I absolutely did not. This is a fabrication. Please don't treat comrades this way.

You're the reason people associate us "tankies" as being insufferable.

Now you're just baselessly insulting me.

Touch grass please.

lmao remember the first question I asked you and that you entirely ignored?

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 0 points 1 week ago (3 children)

This is some lib debatebro behavior. The person you're arguing with has been very reasonable. I would highly suggest you take their advice and go touch-grass because this is unhealthy shit.

[–] m532@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 week ago

This stupid redditor shit just means "go away so I can win the argument"

I hate it so much

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

The person I'm arguing with is lying and insulting. Please don't defend this behavior.

[–] THEPH0NECOMPANY@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

China ( mainland and HK) are Israel's second biggest importers behind the U.S. 3rd is Ireland

The bare minimum at this point would be to do something economically to pressure Israel. Like c'mon your telling me the world's manufacturing hub can't replace imports of optical equipment and chemicals, theres been plenty of time to find alternative suppliers.

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

Imports from Israel to China have dropped about 40% since 2022. I agree that it would be more beneficial for Palestine for us to see clear and overt economic pressure rather than quiet moves like this.
