#Notices:

The United States Government attaches great importance to its relations with China, and reiterates that it has no intention of infringing on Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity, or interfering in China’s internal affairs, or pursuing a policy of “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan.” U.S.-PRC Joint Communique (1982)
PSA: Brigade measures on submissions titles and other words are now removed (1989, Tiananmen, genocide). Also you can now use media (pics, gifs, etc.) in comments
Whether your calendar is rooted in the Chinese calendar or not (wikipedia and/or AI can help), you don't get a say on what the Chinese calendar new year is called. "China's"/"Chinese" will just get put in front of it. Regardless what you call China's Lunar New Year, the traditions are Chinese as well (script calligraphy, lanterns, fireworks, firecrackers, zodiac animal, red envelope, dragon/lion dancing etc.), so suggesting all lunar calendars (Chinese one is lunisolar btw) celebrate with them is even more absurd.
😂 Americans pretending Hong Kong is not part of China is hilarious. The official Olympics site isn't based on US education though..."Hong Kong, China". But not as funny as Chinese Taipei added to Chinese medal tally, supported by basic English language. Cope with losing to Chinese in a more intelligent way. Puerto Rico 2 bronze doesn't help genius. Even without HK, US didn't actually win more than PRC. US anthem wasn't played more times. TeamUSA with 200+ more athletes got more 2nds and 3rds.
Every time China supports Palestine UN membership trolls bring up Taiwan. Around 140 countries recognize Palestine as a country. Stop embarrassing yourselves and getting more people to search the night and day difference.
Tibet, Xinjiang, HK, SCS...is Taiwan some sort of '5th times the charm' desperation? 😂
If you are new, go through the fakenews flair and these inconvenient truths 1 2 first to be more informed.
CPC National Congress Reflection...of all the things anti China clowns hyped and then lost 1 2 in the last few years
Imagine "trolling" that the island of Taiwan is not Chinese with the literal Chinese flag in the early 1900s. Fun fact, nobody ever say the island was not Chinese when ROC sat in UN China seat. After PRC takes over that very seat magically it's different. 🤡
US continues to be forced to toss away their professed values trying to maintain hegemony. Free speech lost to user restrictions. Free media lost to news bans. Free economy lost to gov. led. Free trade lost to trade restrictions. Complete 180 on government in personal lives. No matter the excuse for it, the value being tossed isn't China's. That's what really gets under their skin. That their values failed and they had to abandon them.
Groups that bought into "U.S. values" rhetoric, worked for U.S. then got betrayed: Hmong (Vietnam), Syrian rebels, Kurds (ISIS), HK rioters, Guaido (Venezuela), Afghan servicemen/translators (Taliban, who are now mocking Iwo Jima photo while wearing US military gear 😂), Ukraine (Budapest Memorandum, NATO membership)
"aMeRiCa StAnDs WiTh TaIwAn!" -> then right after saying that America watched, from afar, as Taiwan literally got surrounded, blockaded and violated 1 2. Then had to stand there and listen to countries all over the world react to all this by restating they adhere to the One China Policy 1 2. Not praising US or supporting Taiwan. Black Sea shipping slowed to a crawl without Russian deal. How many defacto blockades can Westerners pretend not to see? No land alternatives for Taiwan genius. Median line is gone. Waters and air up to territorial limit is gone. Territorial waters around Taiwan claimed islands like Kinmen is gone.
Border Disputes with India 1 2

Crosslinks to other subs (see "Allowed Crosspost to Sino list") are fine if the submitter posts regularly in the sub they are linking.
Stay true to the topic of discussion. Don't use tangents to divert into vaguely connected agendas. Make your own thread instead of hijacking others. Don't editorialize titles to get attention.
