John Cena apologizes for calling Taiwan a Country

Uighers are Muslim terrorists. As for Hong Kong, Hong Kong was set up by the British after the Opium Wars to exploit China's economy.
Nothing the Uighers are accused of justifies genocide or the forced harvesting of body parts from criminals

And make no mistake

What china does to its own people they are capable of even worse against foreigners
 
If that were true it would not take repression by Red Army to maintain control there

Very few people outside of china would agree that china had a right to invade Tibet

Oh, I'm sure that Richard Gere is upset when he hangs with the corrupt ass former Child King the Chinese threw out...

But the reality. Tibet was recognized as part of China under the Qing Dynasty, it was recognized as part of China under the Republic of China.
China has always sought to control Tibet and at times succeeded by brute force

But the Tibet people have never accepted the chinese as anything other than invaders and oppressors
 
Nothing the Uighers are accused of justifies genocide

Really? We killed a million Iraqis over weapons that didn't exist. I don't think we get to complain about how the Chinese are handling their Uigher Terrorists... The US listed Uigher groups as terrorists up until last year (When dickhead Trump took them off) and we locked up Uighers at Gitmo.

or the forced harvesting of body parts from criminals

Criminals who have been convicted of capital offenses like murder. Again, the US still executes people, we really don't have a lot of business bitching at other countries for capital punishment.

What china does to its own people they are capable of even worse against foreigners

Okay, let's look at that. Since 1949, China has only been involved in three wars outside their own borders.

The Korean War, where UN forces got much too close to their border. They fought that war to a standstill and frankly, weren't much worse than anyone else fighting it.

A war against India in 1967 where there were a total of 2000 fatalities on each side.

A brief border war against Vietnam in 1979 which lasted three weeks and killed maybe 50K Vietnamese.


Now, the US since 1949 has

Fought a war in Korea that killed 2.5 Million Koreans.
Fought a war in Vietnam that killed 2-4 million Vietnamese
Fought a war to "liberate" Kuwait that killed 50,000 Iraqis and the subsequent sanctions killed half a million more.
Fought a war to find weapons that didn't exist in Iraq that killed a million Iraqis.

Seems that if I were Zog from Alpha Centauri and my job was to monitor Earth, I'd be more worried about the Americans than the Chinese.
 
China has always sought to control Tibet and at times succeeded by brute force

So what? Hey, do you want to have a discussion with the Native American people of this country and how they felt about us taking their lands and carving the faces of our presidents into their mountains?

Rule number one all Americans should acknowledge, the Chinese have learned from US history.

I think this is all a form of your usual hate for trump and ignorance about the CCP rather than actual love for communist china

Or as the Arabs used to say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend

And your enemy trump was no friend of china

China is practicing genocide on tje Uhigers and its not just America who says so
 
Hey, do you want to have a discussion with the Native American people of this country and how they felt about us taking their lands and carving the faces of our presidents into their mountains?
You are free to hate America as much as you want

And you obviously want to very much

But why punish the oppressed minorities within china by making excuses for the communist dictatorship?

Or freedom loving people in Hong Kong and Taiwan?
 
If they're going to invade, it won't be before the 22' winter Olympics that are scheduled to be played in China.

With that said, I am skeptical that China is going to invade any time soon. Invading Taiwan would entail killing a LOT of people and the world would be forced to respond. China has much more to lose than to gain in such a venture.

Incrementalism. Ten years or less, Communist China will have absorbed Taiwan and not fired a shot. We now recognize only one China policy. Not long ago, we did not.

A problem exists insofar as we plan 4-8 years into the future. China plans 100 or more years into the future. We're already in their sights and they've started preparing the groundwork.

You are misinformed

Since 1949 the US has recognized a one china policy

But the CCP fears the US might change and recognize Taiwan independence
 
In what way aren't they doing to Tibet what the US did to the west?

Well, they are not sending in millions of Han Chinese to displace the Native Tibetans...

Yeah, they are.

Especially in Xinjiang they're doing this.

A friend of mine recently moved to Tibet, she got married to some guy who works there. Han Chinese.

Often what they'll do is give incentives to go work there. In Xinjiang they let construction workers work longer hours, making more money etc. They have totally Han Chinese cities in Xinjiang.
 
China got away with invading Tibet

That was long ago and world anger has faded

You mean they toppled a corrupt theocracy that held most of the people of Tibet in bondage? Oh, Gosh, that's horrible.

Ditto for Tiananmen Square

How is what happened at Tiananmen Square any different from what happened at Kent State?

More recently the illegal erasure of civil rights in Hong Kong and genocide of the Uighers

The Uighers are Muslim terrorists. As for Hong Kong, Hong Kong was set up by the British after the Opium Wars to exploit China's economy.

What you see as "Aggression", they see as asserting their national sovereignty. You should probably immerse yourself in Chinese history, particularly the period between the Opium Wars and the Civil War that brought the Communists to power.

The CCP are very cunning and calculating

They have discovered the western democracies weakness - money and fear of military conflict

Up to now they have known just how far they can push and get away with it

But china has grown too strong and it is becoming reckless

Asserting sovereignty within their own borders is "reckless"? Really?
Toppling a corrupt theology and replacing it with an evil communist regime is not a beneficial trade.
 
What a sellout punk.

As reported by Chinese propoganda news, the globaltimes.cn:

"US actor and WWE star John Cena on Tuesday apologized on Chinese social media after falsely indicating that the island of Taiwan is a country in a promotion video for his latest film Fast & Furious 9 to the island’s audience.

"Speaking in Chinese, Cena apologized to Chinese viewers through a clip posted on his Weibo account, saying he had made a mistake and he was very sorry about it."

...

"Cena stirred a controversy in early May when he participated in promotional activities for Fast & Furious 9 on the island of Taiwan and said it was the first “country” that could watch the film.

"Cena’s apology was welcomed by some Chinese netizens, who said he may have been guided by misinformation."


Hmm, last I checked, the Chinese civil war in 1949 resulted in the establishment of the ROC (Taiwan) and the PRC as separate sovereignties, complete with Taiwan having its own flag, anthem and seal.

Taiwan (traditional Chinese: 臺灣/台灣; simplified Chinese: 台湾; pinyin: Táiwān), officially the Republic of China (ROC),Taiwan - Wikipedia[f] is a country in East Asia.[16][17] Neighbouring countries include the People's Republic of China (PRC) to the northwest, Japan to the northeast, and the Philippines to the south.


This kind of garbage is where we're heading in this country with the disturbing trend of internet censorship, propoganda news sources, and cowardice/kowtowing to the CCP for financial gain.

I am 84 years old.

So I remember how all Americans loved China and did not love its small but powerful neighbor that brutally invaded China, causing so much misery to the suffering Chinese people.

Now cut to 2021.

Everyone in the world now almost literally kowtows to China, as China expected of its weaker neighbors centuries ago.

Wow! What a totally unexpected sea change!

If left undisturbed Tibet would be more or less a theocracy

Some people might not approve of that

But the Dali Lama is a popular leader with the consent of the people

He does not an army to rule

The lama theocracy was pretty brutal and despotic. But communism under the chinese is far worse.

This issue always arises when communists takeover a nation. The excuse is the old regime was weak and corrupt and it is often very true. But that is no justification for replacing it with communism which is uniuversally evil and worse than what they replace.

The Romanovs, Batiasta , Diem etc etc. All corrupt brutal regimes and all replaced by something far worse.

The people of Tibet wete quite content with the Dali Lama and would reject chinese rule and welcome him back if they could

What was he supposed to say? "Formosa"? "State?" "Territory?" PR-ing is all about selling tickets by any means necessary and it seems to me that China (mainland China, the country) is likely to purchase more tickets to see the film than .... uh .... er .... you know .... that other place.

The point is, he apologized for correctly calling it a country. Apologized. Why? Do you think the people of China wanted that apolgy? No, he did it to appease the CCP government so that they didn't take punitive action against him and his performances and earning ability.

Like I said, appeasement of leftist tyrannical censorship (for personal financial motives or just cowardice) is what will eventually result in this nation becoming exactly like CCP-ruled China.
No greater threat to this world than Joe Joe Bidens China
