      I hate it when China and North Korea kill numbers. Like I’m just trying to count stuff here and you’re telling me that 9 is dead?

          Famines had been commonplace occurrences in feudal China and Russia, which the communist states brought an end to. And those final famines occurred under post-war conditions, and under disastrous crop seasons that affected neighboring states as well.

            @davel pick up your history book. The famine under mao Zhedong was because of stupidity. He killed all birds that ate all crop eating insects. The famine under Stalin in Ukraine for example was just pure evil. They took the crops from Ukraine to export them not leaving enough to feed the population causing a massive starvation.

        @dessalines you won’t find exact numbers for China. estimations of the ones killed of about 70 000 per year for organ harvesting. But hey it’s bad enough that USA is being compared to a country as evil as China.

          Organ harvesting is not a real thing. You really need to stop passively accepting Cold War II atrocity propaganda. Falun Gong is a CIA-backed far-right religious cult and their organ harvesting narrative is bullshit.

          And even if it were all true, the USA would still be far, far, far worse.

            In Germany Jan Böhmermann did an expose on Falun Gong once, and it was hilarious. Highly recommend, it’s still on YouTube.

            @davel I think reports like “the slaughter” “bloody harvest” from 2007 2016 and the 2021 UN tribunal and the fact that after the persecution in 1999 the organ transplant numbers suddenly shot up before China had a organ transplant system and have in hospital multiple floors for organ transplant with transplant waiting times of only a week (despite organ tourism especially from Korea) speaks for its self.

            On international scene China is more subtle with debt trap diplomacy neocolonialism Africa

              “Chinese debt trap diplomacy” is yet another Western Cold War II psyop. It’s pure projection of what the Global North has been doing to the Global South.
