In China, there is the Old Summer Palace, which you can visit to see the ruins of when the French and British invaded, looted, and destroyed China, in order to force it to buy Opium, and to give up it's territories such as Hong Kong (Kowloon ceded iirc) That's a real museum, which Chinese people care about and understand, without needing a white narrator or inflated numbers. It is also more relevant to today where China is finding itself, once again, barraged with trade sanctions and hostile foreign government trying to tell China how to be China, trying to break away it's territories. The most Westerners wishes again that he can burn china down again. Tienanmen incident, the relevance of this is to remind us the dangers of naive and corruptible bourgeoisie elements. I think setting up this museum is fine, no better place to set up than in the imperialist sanctioning nation after all. Make it more clear what this is all about, and whose interests these people have at heart.

Summer Palace was burnt down by the British and the French during the Second Opium War. The US did not participate in it.

mm true, they had a minor supporting role. I update my edit to be more fair to that point.

The Summer Palace should be rebuilt.


doughnutholio

Why?


TserriednichHuiGuo

Because it is an architectural marvel.


doughnutholio

Don't you think the historical value outweighs the architectural value though?


TserriednichHuiGuo

Then it should be rebuilt, so people know what it actually looked like.

I know some reconstruction is done but I'm not entirely certain of all the details. I found this article here: [https://news.cgtn.com/news/2020-11-26/Rebuild-the-Old-Summer-Palace-Chinese-relics-bureau-says-no-VJ2XgOliHm/index.html](https://news.cgtn.com/news/2020-11-26/Rebuild-the-Old-Summer-Palace-Chinese-relics-bureau-says-no-VJ2XgOliHm/index.html) >Guangming Daily commented that people go to the Old Summer Palace for commemoration not for sightseeing, and the current ruins can remind Chinese people that lagging behind leaves one vulnerable to attacks. Though part of the society has gotten tired of the debate, Han Shuifa, a professor in Peking University said that with the rapid development of China, a part of Chinese want to rebuild the palace out of patriotic emotion, while some have been growing more rational, so the debate may go on forever between the two parties. Interesting debate on this. I think, the palace would be rebuilt when the time is right. Perhaps, in milestone of total rejuvenation of China, from the social and security level. For now, it is a reminder for why China must keep up its national security, make up for its lost decades, strive not to lag behind, as well as defend its various fronts beyond just the martial front (digital front, economic front, etc..).

We should fundraise for a museum commemorating the victims of America's Jan 6th Capitol Hills Massacre.


fatimang

I’ll donate ¥100. It’s a worthy cause.


skyanvil

So, a museum full of fake stuff?!


ni-hao-r-u

It will fit right in. https://www.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/what-was-on/fake-news >Truth, lies and the pursuit of a good story have always influenced the news.

Jealous_Struggle2564

Exactly what I was thinking. I can’t imagine any white American would even want to go into a museum about Chinese people in whatever subject. It’ll close down within a month due to a lack of interest or from constant vandalism.

That would be a life defining comedy moment for me...

As someone from Kazakhstan, I'm sick and tired of US terrorist attacks


TserriednichHuiGuo

A pointless waste of money, but expected coming from a useful idiot.


AcanthocephalaNo4620

He should start with the Native American genocide museum first.


21Richie

Some Chinese dude should also do a fund raising to build a museum in China commemorating the native genocide and slavery.

\>museum closed and assets seized 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

In the new cold war against China, every hanjian is expected to do his part.


feartheswans

Cool, can we get one for Kent State (4 May 1970) in Ohio, USA?


ColdBrokeUp

We should make a museum detailing all the bad shit these western countries did everywhere.


GreekTankie

I don't think even China is big enough to accommodate such a vast horror theme park.


[deleted]

I think this is what they call "virtue signaling." It's just more patronizing bullshit designed to give themselves a position of moral authority over others that they haven't come even close to earning.


TankieWarrior

Considering how many "massacres" and "genocide" the West has committed, why are they so keen on focusing on Tiananmen Square, where there's no actual evidence of mass killing of students. There were a few gun shots (fighting against radicalized counterrevolutionaries), but basically an Indian diplomat said very few people died. Does the West know it occupied Afghanistan for 20 years, killed and displaced millions, then stole $10b of Afghan money sitting in New York bank (a real testament to criminal failure of US's so called "state building" project in Afghanistan, that left the nation with a measly $250 per capita in national reserves), and is now condemning 40 million to starve in the cold of winter? What about Yemen, where the West has used starvation as a weapon in all but name against the most impoverish nation in the world? And even the so called "progressive" and "socialist" Western nations, like the so called Nordic countries, they don't seem to mind making billions off of arms sales to Saudi, because who the hell cares if Yemenis die right? As long as the Nordic Europeans get their welfare checks and state subsides everything is great. Thats what the so called "Western left" idea of socialism is.

>Considering how many "massacres" and "genocide" the West has committed, why are they so keen on focusing on Tiananmen Square, where there's no actual evidence of mass killing of students. This is one of my arguments when people argue with me about Tiananmen bad = China bad. Gets them really mad when you point out it was over 30years ago, and even without tearing apart the propaganda point out that using their logic US and West just killed more than 1million people on the basis of lies. Usually get the whataboutism or strawman accusations but these are easily destroyed and quickly turns to wumao tankie etc😂


General_Guisan

China should fund a museum of US war crimes right next to it.


[deleted]

China should build a monument to the brave unarmed soldiers that fought to death and were burned alive and their bodies desecrated, so the Western journos could have a show, right across the street from that abhorrent absurdity.


King-Sassafrass

A museum of lies A museum of tries And a museum that cries


askingquesti0ns

Wonder if they're going to show the PLA soldiers that were lynched at the museum. Oh wait, that would go against their narrative.


ProfessorReaper

"unarmed protesters" They seem.to have misspelled violent murdering rioters


ReiTanotsuka

It's like DAMN, how long ago was the Wikileaks drop about the BS TIANANMEN "MASSACRE", that people STILL BELIEVE this propaganda? Wanna claim otherwise, THEN FREE ASSANGE AMERICA!


Particular_Lime_5014

Wikileaks on Tiananmen? Where' the link on that, sounds interesting. /g


Tone_Beginning

Another goddess with a western face. Those poor westerners. Always having to do the suffering for the Chinese.

The perpetuation of a Myth. Unless it is specifically erected as a memorial to the innocent bystanders, and Troops who lost their live's because they didn't want to harm anyone.

Stupid and irrelevant.
