Taiwan reports second large-scale China air force incursion this week

So Chinese bots are on lemmy too now.

Amazing how comfortable you are being racist on a public forum.

Anyway, people should look at this map and take note of how far Taiwan's ADIZ extends into Fujian province of mainland China and the open ocean (which is the southwest corner the PRC's airplanes were supposedly encroaching on). These articles are obviously published to make China seem more aggressive than it really is. Meanwhile the US, with the most powerful navy in the world, parades its warships through the Taiwan strait, which for some reason is not seen as a threat or provocation. Also Taiwan claims the mainland as its own territory. Oh, poor little Taiwan. Lol, get off it.

I'm so tired of the notion that anyone not being in line with certain narratives is automatically considered a drone.

Bro the amerikkkan navy sails it's boats there. Silence, drone.

You both quoted the same exact piece of text. You said they didn't read the article but you didn't even bother to read their comment?

You are calling a human being a bot, literally dehumanizing them, because they don't have the same hatred of China as you. You should really check yourself. You are full of hatred and ideological poison. It is clear from your comment that you have limited literacy skills and understanding, you should check out some other perspectives and try to broaden your horizons. Here is one. This is also another incredible resource with a lot of essays and information with a different perspective

Everyone who disagrees with me must be a bot.

I bet your response will contain one of more of the following: Winnie the Pooh, social credit, comrade, Uyghurs. Yet you call others bots, lmao.

So Chinese bots are on lemmy too now

lemmy.ca

of fucking course lol, ugh

RandAlThor, more like AynRandAlThor

First day? Lemmygrad brigades every worldnews thread about China or Russia.

Yeah, obviously it's a glorified puppet state but there's no point in arguing from that standpoint here. If a country is to exist, it should know about local air traffic, that's all I'm saying.

Cool, so lets ask the people living there (not those in power) what they want with their country.

... oh.

That's exactly what type of traffic these articles are alerting. Which is why there's no need to even pay attention to it.

Also Thailand has had Chinese military visit it's country as well as trained with Chinese soldiers. If you know so little, why comment?

withdrawing support for Taiwan in the still-distant future.

They're going to tip the Republic of China in to the ocean as soon as they've stolen all of TSCM's productive capacity. That's all this was ever about. They're building chip fabs in Arizona right now. As soon as the US can produce it's own Chips the RoC is... going to go right back to tense but peaceful relations with the mainland like they had before DC started waving it's grand imperial [redacted] around.

It's still international airspace, so it's a moot point.

Go cry more, nationalist

ATTENTION

Your account has been flagged for CCP tankie shill-like activity. Please review These Nuts and never forget that Mao killed more people than Stalin and Hitler combined!

we need a victims of capitalism death toll that counts people who weren't born in the total.

China is fascist now, they can go on calling themselves communist in a vain attempt to have something resembling legitimacy. But any fool knows that when the ruling party is full of billionaires, that's no communist system.

They Chinese people are a great people and deserve a better government than the fascist regime lead by Winnie Xi Pooh.

Only the US can do that, tankie

They're laughable. I've gotten like 30 replies to 1 comment and then they say "You seem mad" Yes....I'm the mad one. 🙄

Oh, yes. Actual leftists that somehow support every action of a particular nation. Actual leftists who don't mind government control of information and gives incentives for supporting them publicly. Actual leftists that are ok with some people being removed from society because of the groups they belong to. Yep, totally sounds like actual leftists to me...

China is not leftist

Expressing how you feel about China is fine. Calling someone else a "paranoid weirdo" is not. That's just plain rude and disrespectful.

Edit: I feel like I should make it extra clear that I am not defending myself because several people think that I'm whining for myself. The one called a "paranoid weirdo" was not me.

They are watching, to think otherwise is foolish

Well, I must admit that things are starting to get interesting in the comments section.

Possibly, I didn't look where they're all from, nor do I know what hexbear is or why it's significant. Sounds like some kind of intra-Lemmy drama which I'm not too interested in. Just noticed a fair amount, lets say........not totally organic, seemingly agenda pushing comments.

Edit: Forget my previous comment. I now see the problem with Hexbear.

If you can't cope with people with different political beliefs to you being allowed to post, maybe you should go back to reddit.

The issue is there are a much higher percentage here because brigading wasn't allowed on reddit so they'd be banned for this type of activity. They come here and can do what they want, which is fine as long as it doesn't hurt other people doing what they want, which in this case is arguably happening because it clutters the comments with the same thing repeated over and over, and they are organized so it's all up voted. This doesn't make them the majority opinion though. It makes them the organized opinion. They are not the majority by any means, but they will make sure to come to China's defence whenever it's mentioned, where others won't bother.

There's a good number coming from Lemmygrad as well.

We keep throwing books at you because we desperately wish you'd read.

They act like what the far right imagines the left to be like

Good, they should be terrified.

Yea, it feels like 4chan suddenly saw the light and then turned far-left all at once

Exactly this. They're running around spewing barely-sensical insults acting like they're dunking on people, but all their really doing is turning off anyone who was ever possibly sympathetic to their cause. And are completely un-informed on top of that

blame lemmy's terrible Active algo. It's a struggle session factory

394 from the perspective of Hexbear. The pre-emptive lemmy.world defederation with Hexbear effectively splits big threads like this into two sections. At the top is the much higher activity Hexbear posting, and at the bottom is the lower activity lemmy.world posting where instead of substantive discussion, people who are in support of China just get downvoted to oblivion.

Ironically, Hexbear's total removal of downvotes on their end confers an advantage here. Discussions and dunkings involving a lot of Hexbear users tend to rise to the top of threads sorted by hot because the lack of downvotes promotes actual discussion upon disagreement. This results in higher activity levels than those produced by the passive downvoting behavior typical of more reddit-like instances.

Hexbear has never felt so united

in what world would anyone side with the US over china and russia

The US is really only providing enough support to stall Russia and use up Ukrainian and Russian forces

The real question is the commitment of US allies that have already provided materiel support for Ukraine.

If it were WW3, the nukes would be flying and everyone in the northern hemisphere will be dead from famine in a year or two.

I assume NATO would officially swoop in and bomb the everliving fuck out of Russia's fleet and fortified positions before diverting their attention elsewhere. Basically giving Ukraine a much easier path forward.

They're obviously not fascist, and you'd know that if you were being honest about it and bothered educating yourself both on what fascism is, and on the realities of the PRC.

Also, it's not "state capitalism". They do use a market economy in addition to a planned economy, as part of the overall socialist economic system. It's not a binary either-or; using a market economy doesn't mean it's capitalism, and planned economy (intervention) doesn't mean it's socialism. They're structural terms, and relate to purpose: capitalism's purpose is to maximally extract profit and concentrate wealth; socialism's purpose is to better the lives (materially and culturally) of its people. China, as a socialist system, takes advantage of the benefits that a market economy can offer (efficiency, competition, resource allocation, demand and pricing signals) but doesn't use it to extract and concentrate wealth: instead, it uses the net benefits of the market economy to benefit the people. Similarly, a purely planned economy can be very stable and fair but is prone to stagnation and slow progress. By using both systems simultaneously, taking the relative advantages of each, China is able to benefit from efficiency and stability. There's also no pure free market economy: every capitalist economy has degrees of government intervention (another name for planned economy), especially in times of crises.
