I mean I don't like tankies either but is this user wrong? it's a little weird to use these flippant (and frankly, derogatory) stereotypes about China when there are so many examples of it around the world

it's 2025 and we're in middle of a trade war with china, just recovering from "kung flu" narratives and the far right just ran on a platform of fearmongering about china to initiate a fascist takeover of the USA.

maybe we should be mindful of how we talk about China.

Yes. Do you have reputable sources that show no chinese goods are made using Uyghur forced labor?
