    I don’t know much about Xi, but he isn’t currently engaged in a genocide, so he pretty much has to be better than Biden, right? It’s currently an extremely low bar.

        Not a great situation, sure, but it’s not genocide. Most of the fuss over it turned out to be made up by far right extremists such as Adrian Zenz.

        No I meant it honestly. I mean, it seems like a very clear line, no? People who commit genocide are worse than those who don’t

        There’s a hell of a lot more Tibetans who speak Tibetan and Uyghurs who speak Uyghur than Hawaiians who speak Hawaiian.

        I mean some will make the argument that Tibetan culture was destroyed by the secularization of their school system and removing the lamas from power, but those people are defending a theocracy that practiced slavery.

          Your whataboutism is great and all but doesn’t change the reality of China.

            My point is that we can look at genocides to understand what they look like. You don’t see a 75 year life expectancy during a genocide.
