@canhaktan9674 Crimes against humanity? China today is currently at peace and not at war with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is investing into developing countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Sudan, Chad, Mozambique, Tanzania, etc.
Whereas the United States is warmonger, being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Syrian War, Libyan War, etc, even in the 21st century. The United States is bombing those countries, destroying lives and property, leaving families broken, homeless, jobless, and harboring animosity against the US government. The Iraq Body Count Project reported some 183,669 – 206,273 civilian deaths.
That's why many angry people flock to join the terrorist's cause, and just when you eradicate a terrorist cell, another one seemingly pops out of nowhere to take over the terrorist' cause.

@ALex T You still think China will fall? Over 50 years ago, nobody ever thought "communist" China would ever succeed or play an important role in world politics back then. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990s, everyone fully expected China to collapse soon as well. But China defied all expectations of failure, and have survived long after the USSR dissolution,
China has transforming from dirt-poor, war-torn, starving country, into world's 2nd largest economy, the manufacturing hub of the world, having world's 2nd highest R&D spending, protected by world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army, and China today has strong global presence as well as being influential player of politics
Whereas Taiwan's economy is ranked 19th in the world, its manufacturing jobs have all but been outsourced to the mainland ("Made in Taiwan" used to be commonplace, now its replaced by "Made in China") its military has failed to retake the mainland like it promised, and it relies on importing U.S weapons for its defense.
Worst of all, Taiwan today has hardly any global presence nor is it influential in politics, and it is merely a pawn in the chessboard between world powers.

@daywalker0988 In African countries for example, China is building infrastructure like roads, railways, highways, bridges, tunnels, powerstations, dams, ports, airports etc, in African countries. China has done much to develop African countries in just decades as compared to what Westerners been doing in Africa for centuries. Here are 10 Infrastructure projects in Africa that are sponsored by China.
1. Coastal Railway, Nigeria
2. Bagamoyo Port, Tanzania.
3. Modderforntein New City Project, South Africa
4. Standard Gauge Railway, Kenya
5. Infrastructure for Mines Barter Deal, DRC
6. Chad-Sudan Railway
7. Mphanda Nkuwa Dam
8. Hydroelectric Station Project, Mozambique
9. Infrastructure Projects, Malawi
10. Poty Sudan-Khartoum Railway

@daywalker0988 The Republic of China (Taiwan) also claims the entire South China Sea, so what's your point? China first claimed SCS islands back in 1947, when ROC published the 11-Dash Line (which the People's Republic of China's 9-Dash line is based upon). Back then, nobody opposed China's claims, not Vietnam, not Phlippines, not even the USA. The Vietnam PM Phạm Văn Đồng had even formally accepted that the Paracel and Spratly islands were historically Chinese, in a diplomatic letter he wrote to Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai in 1958, and here is the note:
Source: 1958 Diplomatic note from Pham van Dong to Zhou Enlai wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1958_diplomatic_note_from_phamvandong_to_zhouenlai.jpg
But once it was discovered the region contain rich deposits of oil and gas, Vietnam suddenly changed its mind and broke its word, by incorporating those territory as part of Vietnam. Why Vietnam politician can suddenly change their mind just like this?

@cx9882 Chinese military has not seen any actual military combat since our last major conflict in 1979 and China today is currently not at war with any country. How does that make China good at killing? Instead of making war, China is investing in developing countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Mozambique, Tanzania, etc.
Whereas the United States is warmonger, being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Syrian War, Libyan War, etc, even in the 21st century. The USA is enacting regime change by cutting off those countries "heads" (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place.
So isn't USA clearly better at killing people than China?

@cx9882 Who says CCP is currently killing Uighurs and Tibetans? The Uighur and Tibetan populations in China have actually grown drastically over the years. For example, here is the Uighur population statistics:
3,640,125 (1953)
3,996,311 (1964)
5,917,030 (1982)
7,207,024 (1990)
8,399,393 (2000)
10,069,346 (2010)
Here are the Tibetan population statistics:
2,775,622 (1953)
2,501,174 (1964)
3,821,950 (1982)
4,593,072 (1990)
5,416,021 (2000)
6,282,187 (2010)
Source: wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_China#Ethnic_groups
So what makes you think China is killing Uighurs and Tibetans when their population numbers have swelled over the years?

@ebolmao4129 What makes you think Chinese people lack basic human rights? Chinese people are free to travel overseas for work, study or play. Everyone has heard of Chinese tourists, visiting your countries and spending money on your economies. Your Western schools and universities are positively flooded with Chinese international students, studying the same topics as their peers. Chinese companies like Huawei, Xiaomi, ZTE, Oppo, etc, are expanding overseas, and Chinese investors are buying up real estate and property in your countries.
Source:
China has world's most outbound tourists nationmultimedia.com/detail/travel/30355861
China now world's biggest source of international students scmp.com/news/china/society/article/1797429/china-now-worlds-biggest-source-international-students-more
So what makes you think Chinese people lack basic rights? Chinese people can be found virtually all over the globe today, since we make up a fifth of the world's population after all. Go to your neighborhood and how many Chinese can you spot in your area? Or go to your local university and ask your local students how they feel about the "Chinese competition."

@ebolmao4129 About Chinese investment project, firstly, China runs a business, not a charity drive. Western countries have been pouring donations into African countries, yet they don't solve the problem of poverty in Africa. Whereas China was once a dirt-poor, war-torn, starving country similar to many African countries, but we found success through infrastructure like roads, railways, highways, powerstations, dams, ports, airports, etc, so China is offering to do the same in African countries to help lift them out of poverty, in exchange for resources. This is done through proper business transactions, not by pointing guns at them like what Westerners been doing to Africa.
Thanks to Chinese efforts, African leaders earn legitimacy through Chinese partnerships. They work together with the Chinese to provide Africa with key structural infrastructure fundamentals which will help Africa avoid the "resource curse" (having plenty of resources, but still being poor) Success in this endeavor means avoiding the exploitation of their natural wealth and the beginning of fundamental social and economic transformations on the continent.

@ryanmeinecke8260 Look at the West and they are bending over backwards in order to accommodate Muslims immigrants. These refugees are fleeing their own conflict-ridden Islamic countries, and flooding the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, etc, and instead of adapting to their predominantly Christian host countries, they continue their traditions, like Muslim men marrying multiple wives or Muslim women wearing Muslim headveil out in public.
Secretly, many Westerners are angry that Muslims are under little pressure to assimilate into their host country, but they can't voice their true opinions for fear of being branded as "racists" (even though Islam is not a race) or "Islamophobe" because of the culture of "politically correctness" in the West.
Whereas China has no qualms about taking necessary measures to ensure that Muslims in China respect China's laws and assimilate into Chinese culture, learn Chinese history and sing patriotic songs about China.

Therefore, the Muslims take Westerner's silence as acceptance of their traditions.

@ALex T My command of the English language may be atrocious, but that has little to do with this discussion is it not? If you want to discuss putting people into prison, then it is America that has the world's largest prison incarceration rate. Source: wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_incarceration_rate
U.S prisons are so full and packed to overcapacity, that the U.S government is forced to release convicts back on to the streets, in order to ease the overcrowded situation of its prisons. Having such a huge prison population also represents a significant drain on the country's resources for upkeep and maintenance. Worst thing is that many former convicts find it tough to reintegrate back into proper society, and many return to life of crime to make ends meet, and wound up behind bars once again.
The Chinese government is providing Uighurs extremists (and potential extremists) a chance to turn away from their extremist beliefs, to receive a proper Chinese education, learn glorious Chinese history and to sing patriotic Chinese songs to cultivate a sense of nationalism and belonging to China. Once these Uighurs graduate, they'll have a broader range of opportunities to find work due to their proficiency in Mandarin Chinese, which is the language of business in China.

@allgoo1964 Hong Kong and mainland China are not at "war" and while the PLA is garrisoned at Hong Kong, it has not been activated thus far. As for China's borders China has settled boundary dispute approximately of 20,000 km with 12 countries out of the 22,000 km and is yet to settle about 2,000 km of boundary involving India and Bhutan.
-In 1961, Nepal and China signed border agreement.
-In 1962, Mongolia and China signed border agreement.
-In 1963, Afghanistan and China signed border agreement.
-In 1963, Pakistan and China signed border agreement.
-In 1991, USSR and China signed Sino-Soviet border agreement.
-In 1992, Laos and China signed border agreement.
-In 1994, Kazakhstan and China signed border agreement.
-In 2011, Tajikistan ratified 1999 deal with China and signed border agreement.
For your China claiming 23 countries territories, Singapore doesn't even claim the South China Seas, so why is it counted among the 23 countries you tell me? Your source is clearly biased and you didn't bother to properly verify all those countries.

About the barbed wire, it is meant to protect our kindergarteners from possible trespassers and kidnappers who might attempt to harm the kids or the staff. Just take a look at the recent chemical attack at a kindergarten in Yunnan, China, injuring 51 children and staff.
More than 50 people, mostly children, were injured by a man who broke into a kindergarten in southwest China and sprayed them with corrosive liquid, local authorities said Tuesday (Nov 12).
Source: 51 children injured in chemical attack at China kindergarten channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/china-kindergarten-chemical-attack-kaiyuan-city-yunnan-12086288
The suspect, a 23-year-old surnamed Kong, entered the kindergarten by climbing a wall before spraying victims with sodium hydroxide, said local authorities in Kaiyuan city, Yunnan province.
Therefore, barbed wire is an additional form of protection for the kids to stop illegal trespassers and kidnappers from harming the kids and staff.

@eeyore345 China is providing free education to Uighurs and job skills training to prepare them for the workforce. They are being taught Mandarin Chinese (which is world's most spoken language by number of speakers) and this will greatly increase their job opportunities much more than their Native language (which by the way, is still being taught in Chinese schools) And they are been steered away from extremist thoughts and this is also facilitating their assimilation into Chinese culture.
Look at the West and they are bending over backwards to accommodate Muslims immigrants. Refugees are fleeing their own conflict-ridden Islamic countries and flooding the Western countries like America, Britain, Germany, etc, and then they are under little pressure to adapt to their predominantly Christian host countries, much to the chagrin of local Westerners.
Instead of assimilating into Western culture, these Muslim immigrants continue their traditions like Muslim men marrying multiple wives, and Muslim women wearing headveils in public, and secretly, many Westerners are angry at this, but they can't voice their honest opinions for fear of being labelled "racists" (even though Islam is not a race) or "Islamophobes" because of politically correctness culture.

@ebolmao4129 Statistically speaking, as the world's most populous country, China has the most brainpower to come up with plans and ideas, as well as the most manpower to implement said plans and turn ideas into reality. Larger populations have more geniuses, and China has 4 geniuses to every 1 American genius. Source: China's Statistical Advantage: iiipublishing.com/blog/2018/06/blog_06_07_2018.html
Taken from the above:
Consider two standard bell curves, say one with 1.4 billion people and one with 326 million. The number of average people in China is very close to 4.3 times the number of average people in the U.S. That is also true for those in the top 2% say, which produces scientists, the best business and government people, and the most competent computer programmers. Even there, China would have a 4.3 to 1 advantage, which would be quite an advantage, everything else being equal.

@Burtocd If you look at thousands of years of human history, authoritarianism and oligarchies have been the most prevalent political systems that humans adopted. Political power was oftentimes held not in the hands of the masses, but concentrated in the hands of the few elites, be it nobles (aristocracy) or priests (theocracy) or kings and emperors (monarchy). Its because such political systems were stable and simply because they worked. The elites were often well-educated and politically savvy enough to make decisions regarding the country's future, while the ignorant masses were kept far away from politics.
Whereas democracy has a long history of failure. Athenian democracy failed, Spartan democracy failed, Greek democracy failed, even Republic of Rome fell. These proto-democracies weren't successful, and neither was democracy popular elsewhere outside of Greece. Modern Western democracy is separate, and it only has a history of 100-200 years, so that does not mean it will be successful in the future.

@sneeringimperialist6667 "神州 Shenzhou what about Tibet?"
Under the Dalai Lama (Tibetan leader) rule, Tibet was brutal theocracy, where 95% of the population are slaves, while the remaining 5% elites were slave-owners. Tibetan mountainous soil was infertile, rainfall was scarce in the Himalayas, so the slaves had to work hard to feed the population. Starvation was commonplace, theft of food was punished by amputation, torture and even skinning. There is this Tibetan drum called damaru that consists of 2 human skulls, a drum skin made from human skin, and a drumstick made from human bone. The Dalai Lama was worshiped and his followers fight for the right to consume his saliva, his urine and even his feces, because he was seen as a divine vessel.
After Tibet returned to Chinese rule, Chinese workers began rapidly modernizing Tibet, building roads, railways, highways, streetlamps, running gas and water pipelines, electricity cables, as well as modern technology like cars, appliances, telephones, computers, the Internet, WiFi, online shopping (like Taobao), and so on. Under Chinese rule, the first Tibetan universities were opened in Lhasa, offering courses in both Tibetan and Mandarin Chinese. Hydroelectric dams were built in Tibet to provide renewable energy to houses. The Qinghai-Lhasa railway (world's highest elevation railway) was built to connect the normally isolated Tibet to the rest of the world. Tibet can now import food from the mainland and its population has since tripled from 1 million in 1952 to over 3 million today.

Its a preconceived notion that democracy is the best form of governance. Look at ROC, South Korea and Singapore for example. ROC has been ruled by authoritarian single-party Kuomingtang (Nationalist) for almost its entire life, and KMT was successful in developing Taiwan to what it is today. Only in 2016, did another party like DPP took over KMT. Would Taiwan be where it is today if not for KMT?
South Korea had the dictator Park Chung Hee, who led a period of rapid economic growth in South Korea, until 1979, and despite his controversial dictatorship, Park has been ranked by the public as the greatest South Korean president for his contributions. Would South Korea be where it is today if not for Park?
Singapore has been ruled by single-party authoritarian party (PAP) for its entire life, for over 50 years since its founding as a nation. The first PM of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, ruled with an iron fist, but managed to turn the country from small fishing village into 1st world economy. Would Singapore be where it is today if not for PAP and Lee Kuan Yew?
The success of these countries could be attributed to the fact that single party authoritarian governments can make long-term plans, not short term plans. For example, Chinese government has been ruled by communist party for over 60 years, and they can make long-term 5-year plans, 10-year plans, 20-year plans, to map out China's future in 2020, 2030, 2050, etc. Democratic parties have limits (like USA having 4-8 years term limit) so at the most they can only make short term plans, because there's no guarantee that they will be in power after their term is over.

@wynnhorton1208 Native Americans are also a backwards lot, but Caucasian Americans still integrate them into American culture isn't it? And leaving the Uighurs alone and walling Xinjiang off doesn't solve the problem, instead it probably exacerbate the situation, by allowing Xinjiang to become festering haven for Islamic radicals, in which to launch terrorist attacks against the mainland. So why should China follow your suggestion?
And just because Tibetans are not Han, does not mean that they aren't Chinese citizens. Look at America and USA has Caucasian Americans (white), African Americans (black), Latin Americans (brown), Asian Americans (yellow) and Native Americans (red) and they are all Americans. Similarly, China has over 50 ethnic groups including Han, Tibetan, Uighur, Manchu, Mongolians, and even some Koreans in Northeastern China. But as long as they are born on Chinese soil, they are all Chinese nationals isn't it?

World Peace? China today is currently at peace and not at war with any country (since our last major conflict in 1979) and instead of making war, China is investing in developing countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Mozambique, Tanzania, etc.
Whereas the United States is warmonger, being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, Syrian War, etc, even in the 21st century. USA is enacting regime change by bombing those countries and cutting off their "heads" (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place. Now USA is targeting Assad of Syria and Maduro of Venezuela.

@ezmode946 Modern China was built by the sweat, blood, tear and sacrifice of the Chinese people and our government, to turn China from dirt-poor, war-torn starving country in the past, into a modern economic powerhouse, the world's factory (Made in China), a growing scientific and technological power, protected by world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army, and China today has strong global prescence as well as being influential player of world politics.
And it's all been achieved under CCP leadership, which the Western anti-Communists been constantly denouncing all the time. So why continue to believe the Western propaganda, when China is thriving under CCP leadership?

@cx9882 That's not the same as wearing Muslim headveil which can obscure facial identification at checkpoints. Even many Western countries banned the Muslim headveil too in their countries, so why can't China do too? Source: Hijab by country wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijab_by_country

@KobeBeefBryan About Chinese immigration to U.S, China has world's largest population and there's a possibility that not enough resources, not enough schools, not enough jobs for every single person in China. With such high student population, competition for top schools and higher education is fierce and intense here in China. Some students unable to qualify for local university so they may choose to study abroad in Western countries (especially if their parents have $$$). Some graduates unable to find a job in China, so they may seek employment opportunities outside of China.
That's why your Western schools and universities are positively flooded with Chinese students, competing with your local students in tests, exams, for university places and even job offers when they graduate. If they can't find a job in your country, they are always welcome to come back to China (thus saving China the resources needed to train this student to university level) and bringing foreign knowledge and technology to our shores.
If they managed to find a job in your country, they are depriving a local graduate of a job, and if they rise to high position in corporate or government sector, they may be approached by the Chinese Communist party as a potential spy in your country.
Whichever way you look at it, China wins.

As the world's most populous country, statistically speaking, China has the most brainpower to come up with plans and ideas, as well as the most manpower to carry out said plans and turn ideas into reality. Larger populations have more geniuses. Larger populations have more geniuses, and since China's population is 4x that of USA, there should be 4 Chinese geniuses to every 1 American genius.

Taken from the above:
Consider two standard bell curves, say one with 1.4 billion people and one with 326 million. The number of average people in China is very close to 4.3 times the number of average people in the U.S. That is also true for those in the top 2% say, which produces scientists, the best business and government people, and the most competent computer programmers. Even there, China would have a 4.3 to 1 advantage, which would be quite an advantage, everything else being equal.

@lhakpabhuti1983 How is Chinese government real terrorist? China today is currently at peace and not at war with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is investing in developing countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Mozambique, Tanzania, Ghana, etc.
Whereas the United States is warmonger, being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, Syrian War, etc, even in the 21st century! The USA is bombing those countries (Iraq Body Count Project reported some 200,000 civilian casualties) and destroying families and property, leaving families broken, homeless, jobless and harbouring animosity against the USA, so with nothing more to lose, many of them flock to join the terrorist's cause.
Can't you see who is the real terrorist government here?

@garxgar It's our country, our laws. If you want to remained unregistered Christian in China, then the government will crackdown on those "underground" churches unless they register themselves properly. I'm sure Islamic countries also crackdown on Christians and promotes Islam in their country. Their county, their laws, our country, our laws.
As an atheist Chinese citizen, I feel safer knowing that the government enforces proper registration of Christians and Muslims in our country, and does not allow their "beliefs" to dictate China. If you don't like it, you are always welcome to leave China and migrate to other countries. Once again, our countries, our laws.

@pedrosanchez455 Those half a million US-deported illegal immigrant parents from their kids don't have a choice which school their kids attend too. China is an atheist country, so why can't we promote atheism among our kids? Look at Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia and they promote Islam in their schools isn't it? Women aren't allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, and women must be escorted at all times by a male relative or family member while in public, but these are Saudi Arabia's rules isn't it?
Look at Indonesia, world's largest Muslim population country and Suharto banned expressions of Chinese culture through language, religion, and traditional festivals and the ethnic Chinese were pressured to adopt Indonesian-sounding names. But since it's Indonesian law, then Chinese have to obey isn't it?
So why can't Chinese government give these Uighurs (who are Chinese citizens) a proper Chinese education, learning Mandarin Chinese, Chinese characters and promoting atheism in our schools as well? And those Uighur parents don't educate their children, they just stay home all day and read the Koran, that's why some of them become radicalised and flock to join the terrorists in the Middle East and kill people.
China is helping to do the world a favor by preventing Muslim extremism from developing among the Uighurs, whereas in the the West, it is estimated that around 4,000 people have left their homes in the West to migrate to ISIS. Why West allow those 4,000 people to join terrorism you tell me?

@bulkychalky9697 Her parents are always welcome to come back to Xinjiang, China if they cared about their kid so much. Why go to Turkey, where there have been some 4,000 Turkish ISIL militants, and 69 jihadist groups? It's highly possible that she would be sent to a extremist school in Turkey and trained to become a terrorist and sacrifice her life and bright future for the terrorist's cause.
Instead she is now safe and secure in Xinjiang school, receiving proper Chinese education, eating well, playing hard and studying hard to become productive member of society when she graduates. China has compulsory education, and all citizens must attend school for at least 9 years, known as the 9-year compulsory education, which is funded by the government and includes 6 years of primary education, starting at age 6 or 7, and 3 years of junior secondary education (junior middle school) for ages 12 to 15.

@-AchmadPrayogiRafsanjani The United States is warmonger, having been involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Syrian War, Libya War, etc, even in the 21st century. And it does not solve the problem of terrorism, USA is using the opportunity to enact regime change by cutting off those countries "heads" (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place.
The US is bombing those Middle Eastern countries, destroying lives (Iraq Body Count Project reported 200,000 civilian deaths) and property, leaving families broken, homeless, jobless, harboring anger against the Unite States. With nothing more to lose, many of the victims flock to join the terrorist's cause, so the terrorists have no shortage of potential recruits, thanks to the USA bombing the Middle East. That's why when one terrorist cell is destroyed, another seemingly pops up in its place.
China's approach to dealing with terrorism is to educate Muslims, remove the extremist thoughts, train them in job skills and cultivate a sense of loyalty to China, so that they won't migrate to Middle East to join the terrorists. The US's approach clearly does not work, so why not try out China's approach instead?

@ALex T The Falun Gong organ harvesting is a rumor that has long been dispelled by experts. Source: Donor organ rumors refuted in Geneva china.org.cn/china/2018-05/28/content_51526073.htm
Taken from above
Philip O'Connell, director of the Centre for Transplant and Renal Research at the Westmead Institute for Medial Research in Australia, said "One reason why some people believed them (rumors) in the first place was because of the lack of knowledge".
Francis Delmonico, another leading expert who attended the news conference, said he agreed with O'Connell that the rumors have been effectively countered by the transparent and complete data Chinese authorities provided.
Jose Ramon Nunez, an adviser at the WHO, said "We have this (figure)－135, 000 organ transplantations performed every year in the world－which is only 10 percent of the real needs".
I mean, otherwise why don't world leaders like President Trump raise the issue of organ harvesting with President Xi? Why don't German Chancellor Merkel, British PM May, Canadian PM Trudeu, Indian PM Modi, Japanese PM Abe, or other world leaders every bring up organ harvesting in China?

@kristiadihartanto2623 Modern China was built by the sweat, blood, tears and sacrifice of the Chinese people and our government, to turn China from a dirt-poor, war-torn, starving country, into an economic juggernaut today, a growing scientific and technological power, the world's factory (Made in China), protected by world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army, and China today has strong global presence as well as being influential player of world politics.
And it's all been achieved under CCP leadership. Despite what Western anti-Communist media has been denouncing all this while, China has seen great success under CCP, and not all countries have to adopt Western democracy to be successful and China is living proof of this.

@ALex T I've already talked about how Falun Gong rumor of organ harvesting have been dispelled by various international experts in China. And once again, Mao Zedong did not kill those people, they starved to death because of Great Chinese Famine, and it is well-documented.
In July 1959, the Yellow River flooded in East China and according to the Disaster Center, the flood directly killed, either through starvation from crop failure or drowning, an estimated 2 million people, while other areas were affected in other ways as well.
Source: The Most Deadly 100 Natural Disasters of the 20th Century disastercenter.com/disaster/TOP100K.html
In 1960, an estimated 60% of agricultural land in northern China received no rain at all and the Encyclopædia Britannica yearbooks from 1958 to 1962 also reported abnormal weather, followed by droughts and floods based on Chinese government sources. This included 760 millimetres (30 in) of rain in Hong Kong across five days in June 1959, part of a pattern that hit all of Southern China.
As a result, year over year grain production dropped in China, which led to the Great Chinese Famine. So why are you calling Mao a "mass murderer" when they starved to death because of famine? Because of Western anti-Communist propaganda?

@ALex T Then what makes you think you can believe what Westerners say about China? The Chinese Communist Party is not perfect (then again, which government body is?) but despite its initial failures and setbacks, under its leadership, China's population doubled, our lifespans doubled, our literacy rates doubled and our poverty rates plummeted. The graph below shows life-expectencies across China, India, Europe and USA.
Life Expectancy at Birth in China, Europe, USA and India china-profile.com/data/fig_WPP2010_L0_Boths.htm
China was once dirt-poor, war-torn, starving country, similar to India (world's largest democracy) in the past, but today, China has since transformed into world's 2nd largest economy, the world's factory (Made in China), the world's 3rd largest arms exporter, having world's 2nd highest R&D spending, protected by world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army and funded by world's 2nd highest military expenditure.
And its all been achieved under CCP leadership. Despite what the Western anti-Communist propaganda been denouncing all along, China is immensely successful under CCP leadership.

Jay According to World Tourism Ranking China is world's 4th most visited country after France, Spain and United States, seeing some 60.7 million international visitors. Source: World Tourism Ranking wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tourism_rankings
China is also the most popular tourist destination in Asia, surpassing other Asian tourist destinations like Japan, Korea, Thailand, India, etc. Even Hong Kong sees less international visitors as compared to mainland China.
1. China (60.7 million)
2. Thailand (35.4 million)
3. Japan (28.7 million)
4. Hong Kong, China (27.9 million)
5. Malaysia (26.0 million)
6. Macau, China (17.3 million)
So why do you claim mainland China is a dump, when we are the 4th most visited country in the world?

@Dr _11 Hong Kong was once a global financial hub and thriving port city under authoritarian British colonial rule for over 150 years, while mainland China was still dirt-poor at that time. Now times have changed and it has since fallen behind other rising mainland port cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Ningbo-Zhousan and is facing increasing competition from upcoming mainland cities like Qingdao, Tianjin, Xiamen, Dalian, etc.
Source:
List of busiest container ports wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_busiest_container_ports

It's because democracy has ruined Hong Kong, and all these protests start appearing and destablised its economy. Investors are spooked and are thinking of leaving Hong Kong because of the on-going protests. Whereas the mainland port cities are flourishing under authoritarian CCP leadership, despite what Western anti-China propaganda has been denouncing all this while.

CRISTIANO RONALDO Look at the Western countries and they are bending over backwards to accommodate Muslims. Muslim refugees are fleeing their own conflicted-ridden Islamic countries and flooding the West, like United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, etc, and they are under little pressure to adapt into their predominantly Christian host countries, much to the chagrin of local Westerners
Instead of assimilating, many Muslims continue their traditions like Muslim men marrying multiple wives, and Muslim women wearing headveil while in public, and secretly, many Westerners are angry about this, but they can't voice their honest opinions for fear of being labelled as "racists" (even though Islam is not a race) or "Islamophobes," because of the culture of "politically correctness" that is gripping the West. At least in China, we are teaching Uighurs to put China 1st and their religion 2nd.
We are telling them to put the country over their God/Allah.

@Dr _11 Besides inventing gunpowder, Chinese also invented handcannons, handgrenades, fragmentation bombs, landmines, naval mines, exploding cannonballs, rocket launchers, multi-launch rocket systems and of course, fireworks. Americans celebrate the 4th of July with Chinese fireworks, and there was even an ancient Chinese flamethrower capable of launching continuous stream of flame (the first of its kind) which must have been a fearsome sight to behold in the ancient battlefield.

ik ben "神州 Shenzhou China is “prosperous” because of Xinjiang not the other way around."
In the past, the Ancient Silk Road was lucrative trading route and Xinjiang was indeed a strategic location along the route. Ancient Chinese nobility wore luxurious silk clothing since 4th millennium BCE, while the rest of the world wore mostly loincloths and "bedsheets" called togas. Silk was much prized by rest of the world, and along the Silk Route, Chinese luxury goods like silk, tea, paper, gunpowder, porcelain (precious china) were made available to the West.
However, in modern times, the shipping industry is what makes countries rich nowadays. Overland routes through Xinjiang became less popular, and sea routes, through Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other Chinese port cities on Eastern China shorelines are what made China prosperous today, and popularity of trade through Xinjiang has declined. So Chinese government is actually reviving the ancient silk road to help develop Xinjiang today.

@cx9882 Here's a question, why doe Islam have such bad international image outside of Islamic countries? There are so many religions in the world like Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Christianity, etc, but none are as associated with terrorism as Islam. I did not create this bad image, Islam brought it upon itself.
What China is doing is removing the extremist elements from Islamic teachings in Xinjiang and providing them a proper Chinese education so that they'll grow up to be productive members of society, instead of being radicalized and flocking to join the terrorists, sacrificing their lives (and their bright future) by bombing the West and killing Westerners, all in the name of terrorist's causes.
China is helping to do the rest of the world a favor by limiting the potential recruits by radical Islamic extremists.

@Santiago Rodriguez Newton What makes you think they won't have access to resources? The Chinese government is pouring funds into research and development, and China already has world's highest R&D spending according to the following source:
Countries by Research and Development spending
1. China ($553.4 billion)
2. United States ($511.1 billion)
3. European Union ($379.0 billion)
4. Japan ($165.7 billion)
5. Germany ($118.8 billion)
6. South Korea ($91.6 billion)
7. India ($66.5 billion)
8. France ($60.0 billion)
9. United Kingdom ($44.8 billion)
10. Russia ($42.6 billion)
...
Source: List of countries by research and development spending wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_research_and_development_spending#List
In the West, researchers often have to worry about funding, so they write papers and cite other peoples work to improve their credibility, so that they can expand their academic circles, get approval of grants so that they can publish more papers. It has degenerated into an academic system and many researcher's ideas remain on paper, instead of being turned into actual products.
Whereas in China, research funds are available at all tiers of society, from corporate to government sector, and a struggling research can easily get a $40,000 funding approval, thus freeing the researcher to concentrate on his/her research instead of having to worry about funding. The idea-to-product transition time in China is short too, so many researchers can feel a sense of satisfaction, witnessing their ideas being turned to actual products.

China is home to two of world's fastest supercomputers, the Sunway Taihulight (神威·太湖之光) and Tianhe-2 (天河-2) and in 2017 Top500 supercomputer survey, China beat USA with 202 out of 500 of the world's fastest supercomputers, compared to USA's 144 out of 500.

Supercomputers play an important role in the field of computational science, and are used for a wide range of computationally intensive tasks in various fields, including quantum mechanics, weather forecasting, climate research, oil and gas exploration, molecular modeling (computing the structures and properties of chemical compounds, biological macromolecules, polymers, and crystals), and physical simulations (such as simulations of the early moments of the universe, airplane and spacecraft aerodynamics, the detonation of nuclear weapons, and nuclear fusion).

@Santiago Rodriguez Newton About Technology in China, China is home to world's largest highspeed railway network, surpassing even Japan's Shinkansen hi-speed rail in terms of track length. Our high-speed trains are world class, the journeys very smooth and enjoyable. Passengers have even experimented by balanced small objects like coins, stationery and smartphones on their edges in a train traveling at 350 kph, and the objects remain undisturbed (even stagnant water remains still) for long period of time.
Video: Watch how long coin can balance on high-speed train traveling at 350 kph youtu.be/fumYdO9XknE
Prior to the advent of high speed rail, during the Spring Festival, people in China would make the trip back to our home province to spend the new years with family and friends and the journey would often take several days. But thanks to China's high-speed rail, the commuting times have been cut short, from days to mere hours.
Countries by high-speed rail lines in operation
1. China (38,207 km)
2. Spain (5,525 km)
3. Germany (4,692 km)

@blackstar19gammaburst85 Taiwan had been ruled by authoritarian single-party KMT for more than half its life. For decades the KMT ruled Taiwan with iron fist, and Chiang kai-Shek was a dictator who jailed and executed his political rivals (whether real or perceived) in a period known as White Terror (白色恐怖) and imposed martial law on Taiwan for more than 38 years which was qualified as "the longest imposition of martial law by a regime anywhere in the world" at that time.
Source: White Terror (Taiwan) wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Terror_(Taiwan)
But under KMT authoritarian rule, Taiwan actually flourished and prospered in what's known as the Taiwan Miracle (台湾奇迹) Between 1952-1982, economic growth was on average 8.7%, and between 1983-1986 at 6.9%. Taiwan GDP grew by 360% between 1965-1986 and the percentage of global exports was over 2% in 1986, over other recently industrialized countries, and the global industrial production output grew a further 680% between 1965-1986. And it was all achieved under single-party KMT rule.
Source: Taiwan Miracle wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Miracle
Only when democracy was introduced in 1990s (because USA threatened to cut off weapons sales to Taiwan, if KMT did not implement political reforms) did Taiwan's economic growth became more modest. Today, Taiwan's economy is in a slump, wages are stagnant, cost of living is rising, and many graduates from Taiwan are seeking job opportunities abroad, such as in mainland China or in Singapore.

5. United Kingdom (97,527 articles)
6. Japan (96,536 articles)

This implies a growing number of discoveries being made and scientific articles being published in Chinese language. Chinese researchers hold the advantage by having access to English language papers as well as Chinese. But Western researchers may find the Chinese language barrier to be an obstacle when accessing Chinese language papers.
Therefore Chinese innovation is only going to grow. How is this deflecting then?

@bernardlowe5433 Falun Gong organ harvesting rumors have long been debunked by international health experts to China. Dr. Campbell Fraser, a scholar from Australia's Griffith University who was also present at the Geneva conference in 2017, said, "I would like to clearly state that China does not use organs from Falun Gong practitioners, I'm absolutely convinced of that.":
Philip O'Connell, director of the Centre for Transplant and Renal Research at the Westmead Institute for Medial Research in Australia, said "One reason why some people believed them (rumors) in the first place was because of the lack of knowledge".
Francis Delmonico, another leading expert who attended the news conference, said he agreed with O'Connell that the rumors have been effectively countered by the transparent and complete data Chinese authorities provided.
Jose Ramon Nunez, an adviser at the WHO, said "We have this (figure)－135, 000 organ transplantations performed every year in the world－which is only 10 percent of the real needs."

@bernardlowe5433 The USA separates parents from kids by deporting illegal immigrant parents, and then sending their kids to detention centres. Source: bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-07-03/trump-s-border-patrol-obscenities-will-shame-america-for-decades Adults were crammed into cells with only room to stand and that children weren’t given hot meals or showers. Migrants forced to clean themselves with wet wipes or subsist on bologna sandwiches had developed constipation and other medical problems. Running water wasn’t available and detained immigrants should drink from toilets, and they weren’t allowed to bathe or brush their teeth.
“They don’t have the humanitarian conditions for people to be there,” one migrant told the newspaper. “There were more than 200 of us in a single cage — seated on the floor, standing, however we could fit.” The same person said that “the stench inside overflowing toilets was so bad it made him gag and caused children to vomit.”
The Clint facility wasn’t providing migrants with toothbrushes, toothpaste or soap. “Children as young as 7 and 8, many of them wearing clothes caked with snot and tears, are caring for infants they’ve just met,” the Times wrote of the Clint camp. “Toddlers without diapers are relieving themselves in their pants. Teenage mothers are wearing clothes stained with breast milk.”
Seriously, these Uighurs in Chinese schools have much better life than the illegal immigrants in US detention centers, having rooms with beds to sleep in, classrooms to receive a proper education, and even playtime in their spacious courtyards in their highly security kindergartens. Also, it was revealed that during the weekends, both adults and children are allowed to leave and return to their home villages, before resuming classes the next week,

@bernardlowe5433 Back when Hong Kong was still a British colony, it was a thriving, flourishing port city while mainland China was still dirt-poor at that time. But times have changed and Hong Kong has since fallen behind other rising mainland port cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Ningbo-Zhousan and is facing increasing competition from upcoming mainland cities like Qingdao, Tianjin, Xiamen, Dalian, etc.

No wonder why the people of Hong Kong fear being left behind, and mainland Chinese port cities have surpassed its value and rivaling its business and financial status.
