    One of the reasons they can build their future so quickly is because they were left in a unique position after WW2 to effectively destroy their past.

      And they have slave labor. Oops, I guess that’s something that shouldn’t be said in a post pandering China

        I’ve been to urumqi, literally anyone can go there.

        Theres no slave labor, its normal industrial farms. Unless youre suggesting the guys driving the combine harvesters or running the factories are secretly enslaved.

          The US hates China, hates muslims but pretend to care about those poor Chinese muslims.
          I wonder why?

          If you’re USian - you have vastly more domestic slaves (I think you call them prisoners in for-profit prisons) than Uyghur population. Maybe you should do something about it.

          If you’re not USian, no rebuttal.

        It’s not like workers having to do 2 or 3 jobs in the US just to allow their family to survive are really “free workers”. At least slaves in China seem to benefit the country. In the US, the slaves just benefit big corporations and their shareholders.

        China was invaded by Japan before WW2. Look up the Rape of Nanking if you want specifics. Once WW2 ended China had a civil war. The CCP managed to win and Mao Zedong ascended to power. He led the Cultural Revolution which basically eliminated the old ways of China to pave the way, over the bodies of millions of people, for modern China.
