"Colony, genocide, concentration camps, and slavery." Sounds like you are talking about Xinjiang.

@zsarimaxim692 According to the Uyghurs who escaped the country. President Pooh has armed border guards to prevent journalists from entering the country. Why have a cover up if there is nothing to hide?

@zsarimaxim692 It's funny how anyone who doesn't support President Pooh is a terrorist. It frankly says a lot about the Chinese model that so much violence is required to get Tibet, Xinjiang, and Hong Kong to follow directions from Pooh Bear.

@johnc1873 Because abducting your own citizens in the middle of the night to torture them in a secret prison is super humane. China is #1 in human rights! 🇨🇳 Free Hong Kong 🇭🇰!

American companies have a hard time operating in countries where bribery is commonplace. The Chinese don't have any issues paying bribes out in or out of China.

@rottenrobbie8466 What a joke. Minerals were only discovered 10 years ago, and the country is too unstable to access them. In addition, Afghanistan is a money pit that America sent $billions of aid into without anything economic benefit -- the country's only major export is opium.

Everyone who took money from the Marshall Plan, the IMF, and the World Bank.

I don't remember Robb unconditionally surrendering to the Lannisters and then praising how trustworthy they are. Biden is more ridiculous than fiction.

@maverick7291 They also built Germany's and the Philippines' democracies from the ground up.

It is simply untrue that only China benefits from these arrangements. The local government officials also get big juicy bribes.

@ArawnOfAnnwn It's funny how you mention sources, because China lies and censors information. Economists use satellite images of pollution as more accurate indicator of GDP in China than the numbers coming from the Communist government. China won't even release the death count of national disasters to cover up miss management. So no, I don't trust any of numbers coming out of China about their prison population or their concentration camps.

China's "friends" never seem able to oppose China. Just look at how Muslim counties that opposed France's hijab ban and are quite about China's Muslim concentration camps.

Most non-cash money in Afghanistan was held outside the country, so when the government collapsed the banks froze the money.

Arguably China. Where do you think all the foreign investment came from to make an impoverished China into a manufacturing powerhouse?

@andysol.4593 I wasn't even talking about the Uyghurs. President Pooh even abducts communist party officials who are insufficiently loyal. He even had Jack Ma disappear for a notable amount of time.

@ArawnOfAnnwn 👏👏👏Congratulations. The world's biggest surveillance state (where you are using a VPN to access YouTube) who will disappear anyone who conflicts with party propaganda (including Li Wenliang) is "popular" in surveys. Poverty in America is a joke, because it only accounts for income, so it leaves out the thousands of dollars in government benefits. The poor also have access to Healthcare, they have luxuries like cell phones, and a high rate of obesity -- clearly they aren't going hungry.

I could see Pakistan acting like Russia by throwing a tantrum when China enters its sphere of influence.

קומפרסור יהודים It's not that impressive. Governments have moved and housed huge populations of refugees in less time, so it not surprising that President Pooh was able to it after years of planning. It has also helps that it easy to find and collect people when you operate the world's biggest surveillance state. Lastly, with multiple projects, President Pooh has shown a willingness to throw away $billions to consolidate his power.

@Gordon Brown There are always loopholes around it. One interpretation is Muslims can't charge other Muslims an usury.

The difference is that America put their wealth into Afghanistan, while China plans on extracting Afghanistan's wealth into China.

@shashlek5751 America spent billions boosting Afghanistan's economy without any economic benefits for itself. On the other hand, Chinese investment projects will only involve Chinese workers and the extracted resources exclusively go to China. This means that only Afghans who would benefit would the government officials who took a bribe from the Chinese. It is also stupid to believe America was fighting a insurgency just to test weapons against insurgency. The military would actually prefer to transition resources away from counterinsurgency and back towards bigger, more conventional threats.

Colonies are supposed to make the Imperial power wealthier, while Afghanistan was nothing but a money pit for American taxpayers.

@acevaver5425 Have you ever played Call of Duty where they just shoot the bad guy and the conflict is resolved? Wait. That isn't how real life works. Maybe comparing the Afghan war with a video game is stupid.

I don't know. The belt and road program is pretty mismanaged already.

@Vandelberger President Pooh promises us that those are just summer camps, and the man in the guard tower with a rifle is just another camp counselor. These are obviously the facts and anything else is just Westerner propaganda.

קומפרסור יהודים That is why the Chinese are covering cost by using forced labor. Boycott Xinjiang Slave Cotton!

@supremelyeducated3273 You are on crack. The founding fathers wrote tons of papers saying the guns were for a militia to defend their communities or to overthrow an tyrannical government. There wasn't an organized genocide of the Natives. The majority were killed off by diseases inadvertently brought over from the old world.

@rottenrobbie8466 Stop lying.. The sizeable mineral deposit was only discovered within the last decade. For crying out loud, the Chinese are the only mining companies and they only came in a few years ago. How many deaths were caused when China invaded Vietnam after the Americans left?

The US still has more friends and influence than China. China has to send military forces into their provinces to keep them under control. That's embarrassing 😳.

@fweak21 True, but China and North Korea are pretty unique to have concentration camps for their own people in the 21st century. What a dump of a country. Also, President Pooh is diverting people to folk medicine, because they don't have the resources to treat people with real medicine.
1
That's nonsense. The counterinsurgency required in Afghanistan would have little overlap with a conflict with China.
