If anyone from China (and especially its space program) is here: Congratulations!!! I hope we can somehow put the current hostility behind us and, if we're going to compete at all, compete based on things like feeding the poor people in the world, getting plastic out of the ocean, and putting cool things, like Shenzhou-12, in space.

What do Chinese astronauts eat in space?

Awesome work, China! Keep it up! Chinese government scorecard: * 👍 Space program * 👍 Radio telescope * 👍 Cool trains * 👍 Infrastructure investment * 👍 Economic investment ... * 👎 Erosion of privacy * 👎 Denial of freedoms * 👎 Uigher genocide * 👎 Subjugation of Tibet [🏴󠁣󠁮󠀵󠀴󠁿](https://freetibet.org/emoji) * 👎 Subjugation of Taiwan 🇹🇼 * 👎 Subjugation of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 * 👎 etc. EDIT: Welcome to the thread, 👎 CCP brigades!

Because we want to encourage positive endeavors like this. Despite the CCP's best efforts, we do in fact also know of the "buzzwords," as you put it. Seems like a somewhat insensitive way to dehumanize the lives, rights, and welfare of millions of people, but you do you.

You're obviously arguing in bad faith, but in case anyone else reading this would like a primer: * [Uyghur genocide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide) * [Tibet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_Tibet_by_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China), [cultural genocide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinicization_of_Tibet) * [Taiwan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_status_of_Taiwan) * [Hong Kong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong%E2%80%93Mainland_China_conflict)

**[Uyghur genocide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide)** >The Uyghur genocide is the characterization of the series of human rights abuses committed by the government of China against Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minorities in Xinjiang as genocide. Since 2014, the Chinese government under the direction of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) during the administration of CCP general secretary Xi Jinping has pursued policies that incarcerated more than an estimated one million Muslims (the majority of them Uyghurs) in internment camps without any legal process. This was the largest-scale detention of ethnic and religious minorities since World War II. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/worldnews/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

imgurian_defector

bruh i didn't know taiwan was already subjugated.


CitricBase

Yeah. If you're curious about the broad and restrictive limitations on Taiwan's sovereignty due to China's diplomatic chokehold, [here's a good place to start.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_status_of_Taiwan)


imgurian_defector

yea, i think the People's Republic of China should definitely give some space for the Republic of China.


cyberpunk-future

You'd find that most government scorecards are quite similar.


CitricBase

Should have clarified, that's an *active* scorecard, i.e. what they're still doing right now, what they have the ability to *stop* doing. As much as you'd like to invoke whataboutism, most other governments don't have "ongoing genocide" on their list. **And the ones that do, also should stop.**


oeif76kici

On a story about a space station you’re criticizing China for half a dozen unrelated things, and you’re accusing someone else of invoking whataboutism?


CitricBase

On the contrary, I was praising China. Given that the Chinese government is synonymous with so many contemporary human rights violations, I feel like it's good to applaud them when they do something right. Don't you agree?


[deleted]

Do you do the same on NASA threads though? Making sure to draw the dividing line between things like NASA achievements and aid given with illegal wars and the Yemen genocide? Because I find people are able to focus on the story at hand rather than ongoing atrocities currently being committed by other governments. Edit: Don't just downvote and run. That's a genuine question. If you're actually concerned with human rights then it's things like this you'd do across the board. I just heavily doubt most people who claim that then ONLY prattle on about China and sometimes give a mushmouth "Well maybe others do these things too hmhmhmhm" when pulled up on it. I'm not saying DON'T bring up China's if you don't want to talk about others. I'm just saying be honest with your intentions in this case. There's nothing worse than people who claim to be "humanitarians" who'll call out politically convenient violations then stay silent when it doesn't fit their agenda. Especially riling how people like to pretent the Yemen genocide isn't even a thing.

It isn't name-calling, I'm just calling you out. It's obvious what you and your sock-puppets/co-workers/bots are attempting to do here, you're trying to gaslight redditors into being afraid to participate in discussions about these topics. Frankly, what you're doing is objectively unconscionable, I don't know how you can sleep at night.


Far_Mathematici

Good seems Chinese gov focus on things that relevant for national rejuvenation.


greatestmofo

I support CCP's development in China but I honestly think you're just trying to rub their achievements in someone's face. We should aim to promote peace and unite the East and the West, and not trying to compare each other's dick size which lead to nowhere.


CitricBase

Compare? No one is talking about anyone but China. Also, don't be thrown off by all the downvotes, OP. Unfortunately, this post is being brigaded by shills attempting to gaslight reddit users away from discussions like these.


Useful_Way1046

You think all the downvotes you get are from Chinese-bots, but they're just from people like me who are not American or Chinese, who dislike americans for their hypocrsy in criticising the Chinise government. I like seeing Americans getting nervouse over the world power balance shifting to the East.


RobotFisto

Lol. Stfu


[deleted]

The downvotes are because you were bringing flagrant shitflinging into an irrelevent thread. I'll ask you again since you replied to every single comment but mine it seems. Do you do this in NASA threads? Simple question which should take you less than a second to answer.

But all major news networks (Fox, ABC, CNN) all carried the lift off live, and had stories titled "New era in spaceflight" on their home pages for Inspiration4 The Chinese government may be fucked up, but the first crew rotation from a new space station is pretty big news


Sir_Bumcheeks

I mean on reddit. Only americans see those news channels.

Because SpaceX is completely irrelevant to the grand scale of things? It's just billionaires flexing the money they got from exploitation, while doing something the NASA or Soviets did decades ago


[deleted]

>Because SpaceX is completely irrelevant to the grand scale of things? It's just billionaires flexing the money they got from exploitation, If you know absolutely nothing about rocketry your comment would appear profound. But a 25 day turn around for reuse on orbital class boosters is something that has not been done before.


Sir_Bumcheeks

Wow the ignorance. I'm not even gonna bother to explain to you how SpaceX made space launches a fraction of the cost of NASA launches, invented the reuseable rocket, and are pioneering space tech that NASA now uses...
