75 years ago for 4 years, vs. now and indefinitely
> Furloughs, GFC
Private sector risk and bailout vs. government dictation of the economy
> Lots of it during the Industrial Revolution ( looms come to mind )
The scale isn't even close, iterative design and ideation vs. outright copy and theft
> Let's not forget the slavery
True, few Hong Kong and free the Uyghurs. Implement a constitution that allows protection of people.
> You killed a lot of Indians, yes, yes.
Free the Uyghurs.
> The US and China are different countries, in different stages of development.
No, one country is run by an authoritarian communist party that killed 60 million of its own people whilst culturally cleansing it's neighbors. The other has a constitution that allows itself to evolve into a better and more prosperous place.
Uyghurs weren't slaughtered. Indians were slaughtered.
Yes the word "genocide" was used but that's just "erasure of culture". They were out into camps or schools. People weren't killed.
China has a different perspective on this action. You see what happened here is that Uyghur terrorists did an action of bombing equivalent to 9/11. So china took final action to stamp out that threat by forcing assimilation of Uyghurs. They actually succeeded in stamping out the terrorist threat that is in stark contrast to the American failure at stamping out any form of terrorism.
The intention is to stop violence and forcefully educate people in what china deems equivalent to what the US perceived as making someone "educated". From their perspective its like forcing nazis to to be re-educated.
So you have to see the intent here is moral. It's just the outcome of that intent is controversial. This is different from the trail of tears or slavery where the intent is exploitation and the outcome is often murder and slaughter. The evilness is incomparable.
This is the problem with western propaganda. You literally think uyghurs were sent to gas chambers and executed or something.
But all of that being said... I think the Indians thing is an unfair comparison. The US isnt like that anymore. China has done plenty of slaughter in the very far past as well.
RuneScape might be a better example. They had made hobby games, no professional experience, and launched a massively successful MMORPG.
If you are arguing they made it more than 20 years ago, so it was easier, I'd like to learn more about how things degraded in the early 2000s. I assure, I am not confused by words or math. :)
This is a weird hill to die on (pun intended!). Idioms and colloquialism are the spice that make language fun and interesting instead of bland and clinical.
