The USian frontal lobe cannot conceive of the idea of not being the center of the universe at all times.

[–] bleepbloopbop@hexbear.net 40 points 4 months ago (3 children)

SERIOUSLY

You think a leader of the biggest economy in the world, with a population in the billions, and an active US rival is going to just immediately do an about face and kiss the ring like some USian CEO or media figure or whatever? Xi doesn't need to kiss the ring, he doesn't need to curry favor, China has something much better than favor, it has leverage

[–] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

This, also China is banking where it really matters, for both pragmatic and moral purposes- the global south, aka. the overwhelming global majority.

They don't need to pander to a bunch of racist declining cracker-states, and doing so would be useless anyways, as China is the world's largest non-white, non-western state rising up to challenge that order- it is basically enemy #1 for the white supremacists. And similarly, they don't need to shoot themselves in the foot by backing a bunch of domestic reactionary social movements just to spit on western takes of "wokeness"- cultivating a healthy, harmonious society of 1.5 billion is more important, and the actual matter of life and death for China as a whole.

Instead of pandering to the ""international community"" of the west, China is busy cultivating meaningful ties with the rest of the world and helping them develop; falling for western racism would be thoroughly counterproductive in this regard. And China is demonstrating to the world the achievements of a system that focuses on the common good and material conditions- unlike the west, their offering to the world is not political interference, moral crusading for faux-progressive and/or reactionary means, and imperial divide-and-conquer.

Why kiss rings when you can manufacture your own?

Pretty sure if they have anything similar to dei in china it would look confusing to us because the diverse people hired because of it would still all look Chinese to us.

Edit: I’m going to edit this to include a statement saying that the purpose of dei is to increase diversity in your organization, which means if you have a pool of equally qualified applicants you might choose the diverse candidate if your team is all white guys, and you might choose the white guy if your team is all women or people from Sudan, diversity in your team has value and that’s really all it is about, especially among equally qualified candidates

[–] Jenniferrr@hexbear.net 44 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Pretty sure they do have DEI in China. Minority ethnic groups are given additional seats in the party Congress (someone correct me if I'm wrong) . Ethnic minorities are also given preferential treatment for school acceptance

[–] GaveUp@hexbear.net 24 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

They also get financial aid and bigger dorm rooms lol

In China people from ethnic minority groups get tax breaks, priority university places, extra welfare, etc etc lol. It would explode the single chud braincell if they found out about it

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

Well they think minorities are in camps getting mass murdered so ofc they don't think about Uyghurs getting bonuses on 高考.

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Iirc there are protections based on gender, disability status, and being from a rural area. Idk if there's DEI as such, but there are protections roughly equivalent to the ADA and Civil Rights Act (Title VII).

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago

Ethnic minorities get a bonus in the Gaokao, to the disdain of some Han people over here. Some people are quite vocally upset about how Uyghurs were allowed to have multiple kids and had an easier time getting into tertiary education.

I'm like motherfucker having a well educated, prosperous and stable region makes it harder for extremism to take hold (compared to even a couple decades ago) stop thinking about what's happening in the past and present and look at the bigger picture.

If I were Xi Jinping I would blow up all the amerikkkan ships from the sea and blame it on the dei hires

[–] BioWarfarePosadist@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

He should claim that America is too woke, and everytime Trump goes further right Xi throws on more sanctions against the US, saying that they are still woke and becoming more woke.

If XHS is any indication, they already do. Making Ariel black in Little Mermaid apparently pissed off some very vocal Chinese members of that app

[–] Hermes@hexbear.net 32 points 4 months ago (15 children)

peter-running do not ask anyone on XHS about Indians or Koreans

Also, anyone else noticed the "China is not an immigrant country" posting there?

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 22 points 4 months ago

Also a lot more open antisemitism. Love the enthusaism for the fall of Israel, don't love so much when folks start talking shit about jewish people in general

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah there's definitely some culture shock and points of contention with our values. They also seem to take the 90's "colorblindness" approach, and see anything else as creating division. And ofc some of them go full on Reefer Madness with what they think weed does.

But they don't have the brainworms American politics create, so that's a big plus. I think there's a lot of potential value in this cross-cultural communication. I think most of them haven't actually seen anyone explain or make the case for this or that take, because they just haven't been in dialogue. I would say, don't assume they'll be unreasonable like chuds even if they're off the mark on an issue.

Imagine going through a portal to the 90's, except in this universe people aren't anticommunist or religious. Some archic takes but way fewer brainworms than most places.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago

Yeah, it's possible to have a genuine dialogue on things. Even someone who is relatively chuddish will hear you out.

The insistence that "negative peace" be maintained a bit more difficult for me to grapple with, but I'm hardly in a position where I should attempt to tackle that in the first place

"If I were Xi Jinping, I would hold my current beliefs and enact my current agenda."

Ok yeah I guess so

I refuse to read anything by these nerds. They can do their America Jr. LARP elsewhere, where I can't see it, thank you very much.

I can see the articles now:

China vows to stamp out DEI initiatives from their government. But at what cost?
