    I will never really understand why china’s on these lists. I know it’s because theyre communist and commies = bad, but every other country on their has literally vowed to kill Americans, while china’s biggest crime is making close to as much money as we do.

      The USA has invaded Cuba and the DPRK. Literally the only thing they want from the USA is to be left alone and allowed to be friends with whoever they want without the USA threatening to kill anyone who talks to them. They’d both be radiated wastelands if the USA could make that happen unscathed.

      It might just have something to do with their published plans to kill people until no democracies remain on the planet.

      Why don’t people know this already?

      Nah man, I’m pretty sure the Tiananmen square massacre was a bigger crime. Not to mention their genocide of the Uighur people, their oppression of Hong Kong, their attempts to steal Taiwan’s sovereignty.

      ETA: big thanks to OP for so clearly and concisely showing they’re a tankie.

        their oppression of Hong Kong

        Hong Kong was the product of the UK’s century of Chinese oppression, and their 99 year lease on oppressing Hong Kong ended in 1997.


        steal Taiwan’s sovereignty

        Taiwan is only considered sovereign by eleven countries, most of which are micronations like the Holy See, the Marshall Islands, and Tuvalu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_status_of_Taiwan
