What are the issues with those ingredients?

I think it would be a good thing to do so since then we have much more motivation to protect Taiwan at all costs. China trying to roll over Taiwan would be akin to attacking us.

how is this half-baked, not ready for prime-time?

By taking away presidential pardons.

but that's not the kind of world we're living in.

Exactly, because without US Navy, China would be taking Korean ships and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Xinjian, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Taiwan are all non-chinese territories. china is also claiming maritime rights into neighboring territories that don't belong to them.

Yes, as long as you're Han chinese, you have the opportunity. What he means by representative govt is other ethnic groups having the same say. If not, then be prepared to fight many wars.

So does every country, but not at whatever cost, i.e. it does NOT deserve the "right" to systematically commit racism or genocides against people who are not Han simply because they are in the way.

a nonexistent chinese invasion

Invasion doesn't need to be with armies. China is not yet strong enough to do that outright with the west like it does within Asia and its maritime claims. With the west, it has taken on a different approach: infiltrate all levels of political, educational, and corporate institutions.

And discriminated against for not being Chinese regardless.

Alcohol can be beneficial in terms of it being a "social glue" whether you personally believe it or not. Within reason is fine, and won't make you an alcoholic. So that doesn't fit the counter examples.

counter-examples: heroin, opiates, rat poison, etc.

none of the lines rhyme.

Yep, sounds like the incompetent canadian police I've encountered.

I was going by the UN definition of genocide, according to which Canada also declared it a genocide: https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml. Cases b,c,d,e all apply here.

With regards to Gitmo, you are again purposefully lying. There are plenty of arabs and muslims living in USA with no problems. We have comedians (Hasan Minaj) making fun of Trump. Which Chinese, let along uighur, can make fun of Xi in China?

Now since we both agreed that the detention camps exist, and also the women of that group are being sterilized against their will, it meets criteria b, and d of the Genocide under the UN charter.

As for my genes, they're full capable of learning and not limited by brainwashing as you have been subjected to. Sorry for you and the rest of the CCP shills.

I'm not. Show me the pictures and proof of the "genocide" and I'll do a 180. I'll believe you.

Alright. Show me the pictures of the mass killings and the slaughter that's occurring in China. I want to see pictures of the executions and the graves.

Again you've shown yourself to be no more mature than a sixth grader. First, educate yourself about definition of a genocide. It's not all "mass killings and graves" that you are lusting after. A genocide can be a systematic destruction of a people through incarceration, torture, humiliation, destruction of language, cultural practices etc. simply based on their race, culture, or religion. Same thing that's happening to Uighurs. Vox did an expose a couple months ago using satellite imagery to find hundreds of mass detention and slave labor facilities corroborated by statements from victims.

You really do should do some reading with empathy. Maybe you can learn something: https://www.vox.com/2020/7/28/21333345/uighurs-china-internm...

When someone bombs your family you take the time to find out why they were bombed and try to understand the otherside before shutting down the otherside.

I didn't say I would try to understand the side that bombed my family. Those would be the terrorists. I said I would get to the bottom of what happened and why it happened. I would not condemn an entire people or a culture (unless of course every single one of them believed the same thing as the terrorists) to seek some sort of sick justice. Please don't invent things I didn't say.

The man is obviously not supporting genocide. If the chinese are supporting genocide than the man obviously doesn't know but an accusation of genocide needs extreme proof and right now there's only rumors.

It's not rumours. There is genuine proof. My own government declared it as genocide after investigation (Canada).

But when someone voices their own opinion. You just call their opinion disgusting and accuse them of genocide.

My comment was directed at the Chinese govt and whoever supports them (obviously knowingly). I didn't call his opinion disgusting. Please learn to comprehend at a level above that of the sixth grade.

Maybe what's really going on is you're selectively applying your empathy to whatever suits your preconceived viewpoint.

Yeah and you are selectively applying your generosity in trying to understand those you disagree with to whatever suits your needs.

I'm not American so the US-China rivalry comment is not relevant to me. If my family was killed by a bombing attack I would want to get to the bottom of why it happened in the first place without just blaming an entire population and justifying their genocide.

I am not saying that jihadist extremism is not to blame. But I don't think an entire Uighur culture is to blame either and especially not Uighur people who are being victimised.

I'm not saying either side was right. I'm saying it's wrong to comment on how this is disgusting.

It's not wrong at all to comment on this. What the Chinese govt is doing is plain disgusting and they should be held accountable just like anybody who is supporting them. We hold extremist groups who carry out attacks responsible, so why not a racist, genocidal govt who instigated the whole thing anyway?

One thing we could do against this is to lobby our govts to crack down on mainland chinese spies and ccp supporters in our areas. In Vancouver, there were counter-protestor chinese who were recording and taking photos of hong kong protestors. Our govt needs to be very careful of who they let in from the mainland china.

Uighur attacks only happened after a decade of repression. The CCP govt moved Han chinese into the region and took away employment and other things that Uighurs used to enjoy turning them into second class citizens. Some people out of frustration committed the attacks which is exactly what CCP wanted to fully go in and start clearing and fully occupying them.

You sound like a Han Chinese. Imagine yourself in their shoes. There's lots of Chinese diaspora in other countries. What if one of the countries decided to do that with the Han Chinese? Would you still side with the host country?

I didn't realize one could pay to be featured in a news article on BBC, but then again I'm not such a cynic.

On a massive scale? Proof?

ah ok sorry i misunderstood. I thought you meant it was a failure for the invading mongols.

Source? According to Wikipedia, Mongolians conquered all of China.

"This was the first time in history that the whole of China was conquered and subsequently ruled by a foreign or non-native ruler."

Thank you for explaining it so well. Like I said I am not against immigration as I myself am one. I would just like our government to be mindful about the challenges it poses as well and adjust the rate based on how much we are able to take in at any given point without stressing out the system and making life worse for people already here.

Right, in the long term it would be beneficial, but the infrastructure takes time to build up. Most immigrants understandably crowd in either Vancouver, Toronto or a couple of other big cities because that's where the opportunities are. Not sure where you live, but the food and rent have gone up dramatically in these cities. Forget about being able to afford buying a house or an apartment even if you've been responsibly saving up. The commute before covid was killer. I don't understand this off-hand dismissal of concerns because I don't have citations.

As a canadian immigrant, I'm actually against the ramping up of so much immigration because we do not have the infrastructure to support it. I liked the slow and steady pace of quality over quantity before liberals came into power.

"annoyed" is a rather dismissive way to phrase it. I'm a light sleeper and it would be torture to me at night and would affect my quality of life tremendously. I wouldn't be able to focus on family or work if I couldn't get good quality sleep.

one of the worst channels. the guy just humble brags about how he's an ex-FAANG and gives obvious sounding "advice".
