(lemmy.ml)
reposting this after another year of Pissreal war crimes
Javier Milei there on the map
What are "xinjang policies"?
effective anti-terrorism campaigns of vocational training, deradicalization, and investment in Infrastructure alongside special status for the culture under the law
i reckon it's about this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_conflict
During the Syrian civil war, a Chinese hostage was murdered by the Islamic State, which claimed its desire to fight against China over Xinjiang.[319] These militants are also very active in Syria, mostly Idlib, where it formed to be one of the most radical fighting groups in the conflict, which prompted China to take cautious reactions.[320][321]
A number of Uyghur militants have been recruited by ISIS[322][323] and have had a presence in Southeast Asia, with some joining Mujahidin Indonesia Timor.[324]
Some nice context for the confused here.
I dont know if this is specifically a western values thing, over here in NZ we are in the right in both instances. Same with australia, france and a fair few other western countries. Seems to just be how closely the nations align to the US
????
No you aren't. Neither are France or Australia
we are in the right in both instances
playing both sides isn't being right tho
How are we playing both sides? My government is very vocal when it has ethical concerns, even with friendly nations as shown by our stance on palestine
Pretty sure that Aus and NZ are generally included in "the West" even if they're on the other side of the world to Europe. Their dominant cultures and political structures have strong roots in the UK and other European countries, same with Canada and, to some degree, the US.
A lot of countries only vote yes because they know usa will vote no. Especially many of the European ones who will only give token support and don't actually care
