Moreover, just as Europeans don’t want to see modernization in China’s Tibet and Xinjiang
To the Tankie admins of .ml, the cultural genocide is just “modernization”

Has anyone said they don’t want people in Tibet to have access to modern technology? That strikes me as a very very odd claim.
Tankies are very very odd people.
I’m not sure on the tibet part specifically, but I’ve definitely heard people express environmental concerns relating to China or African nations going through industrial growth or milestones that the US and European nations went through already.
Which isn’t wrong, since those milestones are what caused the ecological problems we have in the first place. It’s just not going to sit well if someone says not to do what they did, and instead just buy the next iteration and be dependent.
The line between “destroying culturally significant traditions” and “but it’s my house and I want better plumbing” is fuzzy.
it’s looking more likely that enormous parts of africa and southern asia will go solar / battery before the grid even gets there.

indirectly and profitably, china is going to help enormous numbers of people jump from nothing to an electrified society without millions of miles of transmission, with renewable generation to boot.
we live in strange times. I wish china would abandon taiwan (a fight that’ll draw in most of the south pacific) and focus on this amazing thing, but meh… wish in one hand, shit in the other, see which fills up first.
I guess it must be a talking point that the CCP or it’s supporters use to justify their activity in tibet - “we’re just spreading technology. You don’t want us to be there? Then you must be luddite regressives who HATE the Tibetans”
Idk, I kinda read that tweet as an ironic shit post but it could just be the translation. No clue how dessalines is interpreting it tho
He’s a tankie hardliner so you can probably figure out what he’s trying here (sidestepping the fact that chine is a brutal dictatorship who invaded tibet & more).
It’s trying to muddy the waters.
The translation is pretty on point.
I can’t tell if it’s genocide denialism but that tweeter is obviously being damn rude to a whole continent of people
They’re doing the “civilising mission” spin on the cultural genocide of East Turkestan and Tibet.
这种言论/逻辑是在说中国人没有传统吗？🤣
(does this sort of opinion/logic mean chinese mainlander does not have culture and tradition? 🤣)
It’s mirroring how e*ros talk about others back
They’re trying to be ironic, but they’re clearly showing same patronising attitude towards indigenous peoples.
Die Schlitzaugen, haben die schon Deo erfunden?
Damn that’s racist
