It's an understatement. If anything happens to those activists, I swear there will be diplomatic fallout.Tweet

China has been trying to do similar things in the US. There was a great ProPublica story about it, and three men were convicted a couple weeks ago in related cases. They don't kidnap people, but they coerce them into returning to China. In one case, they brought a victim's ailing grandparent on a flight to the US from China as leverage to try to force him to return to China to face criminal charges.It's an understatement. If anything happens to those activists, I swear there will be diplomatic fallout.
It's not without reminding me the case of a former Vietnamese oil executive, who got kidnapped in Germany in 2017 and then was taken against his will to Vietnam, where he was sentenced to life in prison for corruption (horseshit umbrella-type charge to get rid of people deemed undesirable by the government). Germany don't maintain diplomatic relations with Vietnam anymore because of that.

What a crock of shit of a comment by that old fool.‘You can never become a Westerner:’ China’s top diplomat urges Japan and South Korea to align with Beijing and ‘revitalize Asia’.
Well, maybe you should review a few centuries of what japan-china-koreas had been doing to themselveswell the US has bombed both japan and korea. so…..
i did. so what about it?Well, maybe you should review a few centuries of what japan-china-koreas had been doing to themselves
That they have much more reasons to hate each other than the US, maybe?i did. so what about it?
They don't dare in the US, but they sure as shit kidnap people in other countries. They've been at it for years with their secret police stations.China has been trying to do similar things in the US.

so? what does that have to do with the US bombing both countries?That they have much more reasons to hate each other than the US, maybe?
Ok. Now you are playing dumb. Im outso? what does that have to do with the US bombing both countries?
explain it to me then. what does the animosity between those countries have to do with the US bombing both of them?Ok. Now you are playing dumb. Im out
the original comment (to which you replied) is about a supposed korea-china-japan common front. they have long-standing issues for literally hundreds of years before US bombs.explain it to me then. what does the animosity between those countries have to do with the US bombing both of them?
So...? Make your point.well the US has bombed both japan and korea. so…..
yeah but how does that make aligning with the US which bombed both countries the solution?the original comment (to which you replied) is about a supposed korea-china-japan common front. they have long-standing issues for literally hundreds of years before US bombs.
And caring about human rights and individual freedoms lead to a better chance at accountability. The more I see the countless videos that Winston Sterzel shares on Twitter to show the kind of unempathetic and unaccountable society that China has become, the more I'm thankful that other East Asian countries took a very different path as their own respective societies. It's almost the same contrast as the existing one between Putin's Russia and most of the rest of Europe. Really sad.Caring about human rights and individual freedoms doesn't make you a westerner.
it simply means there is no baseline reason a japan-korea-china front is more natural than a japan-korea-us frontyeah but how does that make aligning with the US which bombed both countries the solution?
not really. because the damage US has done to korea doesn’t even come close to the historic conflict between these nations.it simply means there is no baseline reason a japan-korea-china front is more natural than a japan-korea-us front
yes, the us destroyed all buildings and killed a sixth of the population ... of north korea, not south korea.not really. because the damage US has done to korea doesn’t even come close to the historic conflict between these nations.
how many tons of napalm did the japanese drop? just to be clear because you seem to drawing a false equivalency between both events.yes, the us destroyed all buildings and killed a sixth of the population ... of north korea, not south korea.
japanese activity in both china and korea up till ww2 was quite barbaric. at least when i was there, (admittedly, a while ago) anti-japanese sentiment was a lot more common in china than anti-US sentiment.
