Seems like a win win. Reddit is fine with it and becomes a site promoting that Taiwan is a country and spreading awareness of Tiananmen Square massacre 1989. While subs return to normal.

Or reveals themselves to be the mouth piece of the CCP if they force removal of Taiwan is a country and Tiananmen Square massacre 1989.

Edit: #taiwanisacountry should be enough. That mere statement has been enough for western capitalists to quake in fear.

    i think you need to disconnect your ideology from the analysis. you will never see beyond your nose if you take ideology too seriously in these types of affairs

    It is literally impossible for “independent organizations” to objectively “study China”.

    there have been many smarter people than you or I doing analysis of CCP approval rating and it’s always much much higher than our democratic countries in the west. read the article i sent you from harvard. look up more on google. or put your fingers in your ears, close your eyes, whatever. again - doesn’t change the reality of the situation

    people are pleased that their economic position is much better than their grandparents. and as long as economic growth keeps happening, that will remain true.

    No you don’t. Let’s be real here. You are an apologist for the Communist tyranny. You do not understand how obvious it is but no American would ever say what you said.

    i don’t like to put my head in the sand and pretend like ideology trumps reality. no matter how much i prefer a free open society i have read the research. i have seen the news. i know CCP has higher approval rating than any democratic country. this isn’t one or two studies. this is the consensus for decades.

    chinese people are happy with CCP. same thing with Putin in Russia. just because a country is authoritarian and brutal does not mean they cannot have high approval ratings. the difference is they are contingent on a few very important things

    china is economic growth. putin is not appearing weak - making russians feel strong. if CCP cannot guarantee that economic growth for too long a period of time, it will fall apart. they lose the “heavenly mandate”

    Your stance that only white people want and are capable of having freedom and democracy is totally obsurd.

    no it’s “obsurd” that you totally ignore the opinions of 1.4 billion people in China. read some chinese history. the emperor had the mandate and everything ran smoothly or he didn’t and there was civil war.

    government legitimacy means different things for different forms of government

    having said all that, you are not truly wanting to discuss geopolitics here. you want to larp and play a game of alt-history and that’s fine i guess but at least put a disclaimer
