TIL driving species extinct because you think keratin is fucking magic is "awesome"

CCP is bad but CCP (Chinese Culture and People) is good? Make up your mind
DoDucHuy
Hah people are quick to forget how Japan was treated in the 80s by the popular media, until they signed the Plaza accords that hand over
DoDucHuy
the Japanese economy to the US. Then it is full on WEEB mode in the popular media. With China, they will sign over jack all.
soggywaffle1234
The world needs to know about the CCP's concentration camps
cookedmemes
Yup.
TheyHaveThePlantButWeHaveThePower
Don't trust China. China is asshole
DrZev
China needs to become a federal republic with a lot of local self rule, and a strong Bill of Rights. Look up "Chinese Federalism" on Wikip.
3crowsBeast
What's left of Chinese culture is awesome. Thanks Mao. Also, watch out for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struggle_session They're coming.
Iukeyy
Everyone should just leave China.
couchcaster
CCP Asshoe, China and the Chinese are just normal good/shitty like everyone else
ArkoneAxon
Being anti-CCP is being pro-Chinese. The greatest threat and enemy to the Chinese people is the CCP. If you love the Chinese, hate the CCP.
cookedmemes
? u got it
ArkoneAxon
I is also being downvoted. Gee, it's almost as if there are paid political trolls on Imgur trying to influence people's opinions.

Say hi to the CCP’s 50 cent army

Isn‘t white = Yin = Bad and Black = Yang = Good?
NoNameFred
Yin = Dark/Shaded/Moon = negative/cold/passive/feminine/north/wet; Yang = Light/Exposed/Sun = positive/warm/active/masculine/south/dry
NoNameFred
However, in Chinese, the first of a word pair (e.g. "tiandi"/"heaven and earth") is usually the better or more preferable of the two
ARoseByAnotherUsernameWouldSmellAsSweet
Huh nice to know, thanks!
Sauroctonus
They're not specifically good and bad. More nurture and power, light and dark.
agonarch
It's like planning vs. action, too much of either is bad.
myr14d
It actually doesn't have anything to do with good or evil, merely duality and opposites forming a whole.
vorduul
Yin and Yang are not Good and Bad...
SilentTox
This would be incorrect. It can be the good and bad. But ultimately it is a whole lot more.
ThisIsTheBestICanDo
That’s just how they chose to visualize good and bad.
Jhacon
Yeah... Chinese culture also sucks my man. This is the same place that has suicide nets at their factories.
peterloischrismegstewiebrian
Not many people from there can tell the difference between the Party and the country.
idontenglishsorry
same with the US. both countries look a lot like 1984 tbh
Counterfit
And the CCP doesn't want them to
couchcaster
They can, they just can't say it out loud. Also CCP has been good for the average Chinese (and I'm not a CCP fan)
blumpk1npie
There are parts of the country I'd highly recommend visiting. Beijing/Xi'an if you like history, a million places for natural beauty. That
blumpk1npie
said, there are a lot of dystopian, grey, polluted cities as well.
TheLastSpaceman
CCP is asshoe, FB is an ass tho
madcatii
When you say asshoe, do you mean a hoe used for digging in asses or a hoe made out of an ass? Please explain in detail.
MechanicalRomance
No he's doing a racist bit on Asian American accents.

AFistfulOfDollHairs
They mean it’s a low down, dirty, greasy, turkey fucking, lying, piece of shit hoe that coincidentally resembles the posterior of a slug.
cryosaur
James from the [*checks notes*] United States explaining that China is a shithole... ?
cryosaur
The orientalism on here is astonishing
LittleLionMan63
Just cuz one shothole country calls another shothole a country a shothole country doesn't make it not true. Also criticizing a country is 1/
LittleLionMan63
Not orientalism.
LittleLionMan63
*shithole. Damn autocorrect.
myr14d
As a chinese person, a lot of chinese cultural and social norms are *shit*.
uoeno
Like what, for example? As an European, I'm really curious.
myr14d
The worst part is the emphasis of 'face' over any kind of real ethics or morality, and a general attitude of no one but you matters.
uoeno
Ah, I see. Thanks for your reply. I learned 'face' is also big in Thailand, maybe just an Asian thing in general?
spacecowboyein
Every culture has bad parts, including American culture. But racists love to see comments like "as a Chinese person, Chinese people suck"
balaclava1
Positive what-aboutism is still whataboutism. Asian Americans should be afraid to criticize their own culture because racism exists.
balaclava1
And if they are, self censorship is not the solution
spacecowboyein
Many people on imgur are quick to jump all over this shit. And what's the point of it? When people are rightly trying to make a distinction
spacecowboyein
between the CCP and the country itself, you feel the need to say, no actually the country is shit too? Where does this self hate come from?
balaclava1
Just because you can’t help conflating someone’s specific Asian identity with their criticism of the related culture doesn’t mean they must
myr14d
My family lived through the cultural revolution and we basically lost everything. It wasn't the CCP, it was the neighbors, they just (1/2)
myr14d
an excuse. I it's that thread of 'I'll be polite - until I can get away with it' that sill often prevails. (2/2)
crocostyle
CCP is evil, but please STOP ASIAN AMERICAN HATE. Stupid people see these memes and think they should push asians off buildings.
YpsilantiRomani
NPR's 1A had a great conversation today about the racism & the increase of it that Asians are facing & what we,(all Americans) can do
LordNergal
One of my Korean American coworkers gave a sarcastic demonstration on the differences between East Asian races last April.
Xenarion
History repeats itself.

PubstarHero
Hate the government, not the people. I just hope people do the same with us US citizens as well.
Wak3l3oarder
But China is shit hole because of CCP he didn't say nothing about the general populace
MechanicalRomance
Also CCP are evil but they ARENT COMMUNIST. Kind of like how national socialists weren't socialist.
ReiiamaKotsu
That makes no sense. I'm pretty sure democracies, especially democratic republics, can't be trusted. Just look at North Korea!
Trisar
The point is that they can call themselves whatever they want and it doesn't make that an accurate label.
ReiiamaKotsu
That's the joke. Maybe I should start using /s.
outthere987
This post seemed appropriately focused on the CCP to me
esopillar34
And people with the ability to see nuance will understand that. For the general public, it needs to be spelled out. CHINESE = FINE, CCP=BAD
SenfinaZeit
I had to push my girlfriend off a building because it turned out her father was Taiwanese. Damn communists. /s
mas0chist
the world doesnt revolve around america, asian's got abuse over corona in england too
Camelspotting
Just tell them they're being too american.
FlamedLion
I was in south korean when it all kicked off. The hatred for the chinese was even more intense when it usually was there.
Feronach
People view them as synonymous to air pollution here and it's really sad
FlamedLion
Yeah that's what I was able to garnish
balaclava1
Except Asian American spies working for the CCP
NoNameFred
This is why the best spying is done by non-Asians that they just pay large amounts of money too.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
If they're confirmed spies, sure. But you could probably run around China town all day and never encounter a single one.
balaclava1
Yeah, cause that’s not where the manufacturing/software/biotech IP is stored, unless I missed the memo
uoeno
You just don't know really. With thousands and thousands of international students every year, and study-specific knowledge..
WrongReference
Yer right we should probably punch one in the street if we see one. /s
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Then just make sure you don't divulge any government secrets?
uoeno
Not necessarily that, but certain technical or chemical knowledge. Happened before in my country. Don't know why I'm downvoted.
wellitseemedlikeagoodideaatthetime
And your a spy hunter eh? Or just picking random civilians on the street to terrorise?
SanjiO
Just the asian variety silly
balaclava1
Why are you arguing the only way to avoid hate crimes is to pretend spies don’t exist?
wellitseemedlikeagoodideaatthetime
Um how often do you find spies in your local Walmart? Are you actually saying that you are suspicious of All foreigners?
balaclava1
Did you read my comments? I never saying manufacturing/software/biotech secrets are being stored at Walmart. Not sure why you think I did
balaclava1
Also, I was born in China
DanOrtega
Well, just certain Asians. Like the ones that resemble Winnie the Pooh. Or those whose name start with Kim and end with Jong-un...
WrongReference
Kim is the surname in Korea. His name in America would be Jong-un Kim
LordNergal
It's not inappropriate in the U.S. to call someone entirely by their last name.
WrongReference
It is in Korea, given, you know, the millions and millions of other Kims
LordNergal
Got a link to back this?
DrKriegersClone
I mean, Kim is a dick, but "shoot everyone who coughs" does seem to be stopping the spread.

Kim is the surname in Korea. His name in America would be Jong-un Kim

Cold War II intensifies...
charlie2979
Strange how policy hasn't particularly changed over the past few decades, but it becomes an issue when American hegemony is threatened.
mithiwithi
Well, part of the point of calling it Cold War II is that the USA is one of the belligerents.
charlie2979
Really makes you think.
maxi4492
China never really had a Cold War, so it would technically be their first.
charlie2979
They were a major part of the cold war. The USSR was far closer to war with China than it ever was with America.
maxi4492
As a phrase "cold war" isn't used in China. China had a "bloody" incident with USSR. Cold war is something that has little meaning to them.
charlie2979
The language used doesn't matter too much. They were a major player in the cold war. Sino-Soviet split is arguably the critical moment.
maxi4492
I totally agree with you if language use doesn't matter, but Chinese as people have weak understanding of the concept.
