Xi: put on a coat. It's getting cold. Teachers are rolemodels. Food is important.
Biden: yes we have kids in debt because of school lunches. Also, here is why we should arm teachers to prevent more death children.

Disgusting really. I truly hope that one day the West will see that China isn't the big bad boogeyman they are made to believe.

Because man in front of tank and 2000 people were run over by tanks and their pulp was pressure washed into the sewer and no-one in Chyna knows about this so I have to tell every single person about it and Chy-knees people can't think for themselves and maybe we should nuke the removed
- Comment on Most in China call their nation a democracy while most in U.S. say America isn't, Newsweek copes 1 year ago:
I used to have a problem with a ´one party state´ until I got into communism. While it's important to have things like Unions present in the government, I see no big problems with a one party state in a communist country. It actually makes more sense than six or seven (or twenty in my home country) parties. If the one party represents the people, what should the other ones do in order to be different?

Huh that's really cool actually. I'll definitely look into this and see what's possible. My party actually publishes (or helps publish, don't know the specific details really) books on socialist topics, I went to a presentation this week even.
But I agree. A lot of western communist groups lack action. I think some genuinly don't know how to start and some just like the aestethic of being a communist I guess.
Thanks for this information though, I had no idea all this could be done. That's definitely a thing I'm going to bring forward.

The whole channel is. It has people doing people things. Walking, breaking traffic laws (-690000 credit score), kids being annoying, parents enjoying time with their kids, people eating in stores, supermarkets. Just life really.
If you'd believe a redditors view of China you'd think this man was followed by cops 24/7 and everyone goes around looking scared and stuff.

I've heard stories from friends who visited Vietnam and they were all flabbergasted at the friendliness they encountered there. I would love to go visit China and Vietnam some time.

I don't have a concrete answer for that I think. I think it's being a socialist party for your own people first and then focussing on other countries. It's sometimes hard to do both, especially when most marxist parties in the west don't have a majority in their governments or simply lack the resources for it. That being said, there are ways to help people in the global south. Supporting activists through Patreon for example or looking for organizations that do groundwork in developing nations. China is helping countries with their Belt and Road initiative.
Also, like you said yourself, there are not that many real, big communist parties in the west. A lot of leftist parties are socdem at best and they don't really have the intention to help the global south.
It's a shame really, but now that you mentioned it I will try to see if things can be done within my party regarding this.

Groenlinks became an elitist party for progressive upper- and middleclass people. If that's your voter base you tend to lose the 'links' in the name a bit I think.

I had never heard from them really so I had a look. You're not kidding lol. They have all these reasons why Russia did what it did and then go: but Russia also bad. No offense to them but they seem a bit 'all talk no action' if I glance through their website.

I'm from the Netherlands as well and I live in Belgium now (where I joined the party). Which party did you wanted to join? I think BIJ1 is the most leftist party in The Netherlands but I don't know what they think of China. SP and PVDA have regressed to social democracy unfortunately. Maybe check if you can join ROOD jongeren?
I'm not familiar with an international party or even a Benelux one sadly.

That's what sucks about joining western social organizations, they sometimes don't support AES. I'm lucky I joined a marxist party that actually supports China and goes against the Uyghur genocide narrative (and they get blasted for it constantly).
But the thing is, as long as these people don't actively fight against China, they might still be worth a shot. If they really are a communist party with communist vision, good things can be achieved either way. And you might be able to change the POV from the people there. Or if there is another organization that does support China, you might consider joining them (or create one yourself but that's a lot harder).
I know it sounds counterproductive but you can't always have it be perfect 100%. It's important to still organize when possible. If there's a thousand people with the same opinions as you not joining because of this stance, you guys might never find eachother.

In the end, this is what Westerners are mad at. Regular people, doing regular things like shopping at a mall, eating at restaurants, working normal jobs, doing normal stuff. We're really not that different despite living thousands of miles apart. Why not try to be nice to eachother and learn from our faults and victories?
Why not actively try to look how things are going over there, instead of foaming at CNN articles?
- Comment on The Fake Xinjiang Allegations Caused me to Lose my Job & Friends 1 year ago:
Some people are just wilfully ignorant or simply don't care. I don't want to give them too much attention.
But some people are just misinformed. Think about it. If all you hear about a country is that they oppress minorities or even genocide them, you'd be mad as well. It took me hours of digging through sources to figure out what was really going on. These people often don't do that. That's why I try to remain calm and let them get used to the idea of it not being all bad.
Unfortunately this takes a lot of time and patience, something I don't always have. I can't judge them because they are misinformed. I can judge them for not wanting to listen though.

Sounds rough mate. Do I understand it correctly that you are of Chinese origin?
I can understand what you mean. I support China too and I'm more and more vocal about it as well. What works for me when engaging in discussion is that I try to remain as calm as possible while also stating the facts I have at my disposal. A lot of people can't argue their way around actual facts as they can most of the time hear themselves rambling. If it doesn't work I just agree to disagree on it and leave it. I never get angry.
On the one hand you don't want to become a pariah, on the other hand you also don't want to just accept the lies people tell you all the time. It's a difficult balance to find. Especially when you're not the one being hostile. Remaining calm and collected and convinced of your point of view is important here. I know it's hard, but don't let these people beat you down. Stay strong, but vent if you need to.

Impressive really. Even beating your target by 8000 km.
Ever since I was a kid there have been talks about a cross Europe super speed railway, and 25 years later there still is no concrete plan I think. Meanwhile China drops 38000 km. Crazy shit.
- Comment on Why doesn’t more of the Western left support the People's Republic of China? 1 year ago:
Many westerners don't know how China's government is structured. They legit think it's one party with one person doing everything, which you could disprove with one Google search.
A lot of hate from westerners comes from a lack of understanding China, their government, their culture etc. We like to shit on them on this site but if you truly believe all the evil stuff the media push, you'd be angry at China. Now, you can blame their lack of understanding in their lack of research off course.
It's tiring but we need to keep an open attitude towards western leftists and even libs, otherwise we'll never get them on our side.
- Comment on Tianenmen square 1 year ago:
I had a read through it. Normally with stuff pointing out American hypocrisy, you'd go 'haha stupid lib look what your country is doing', but with this you just cannot joke. The list is just too fucking long and pure evil. I hope I see that sick country burn to the ground in my life.
- Comment on Tianenmen square 1 year ago:
The amount of sources and information that this link contains is sad. It's necessary and it's good, but it's sad that there is this much wrong with the current system. And a lot of people mentioned there are seen as somewhat 'good' guys.
