So, while I recognize the last one was US-backed, do we have any evidence at this point to believe this one was also?

"Zuniga, for his part, said in televised comments that he expected the government to change and that he also intended to release "political prisoners," including the former interim president, Jeanine Anez.” https://www.dw.com/en/bolivia-top-general-arrested-after-coup-attempt-fails/a-69486191

Is that evidence enough?

They do not touch on the real reasons for these amendments. One is to look tough and nationalistic to their domestic audience. Another is to inflict psychological fear in Taiwanese and those who support Taiwan internationally that the CCP could potentially be coming for us, not only in China, Hong Kong and Macau, but in 45 other countries as well.

Hey guys did you know the real reason is to look tough and nationalistic and not (among other reasons) the US attempt to have an unsinkable air craft carrier to project power

I wonder why this extends into the mainland. Could there be historical context?

When the CCP is planning another dramatic change of the status quo, they go out of their way to also pick a date when it will send a message.

For example, often when countries switch diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China, the announcement will be timed to pack a punch, such as Nauru making their announcement right after William Lai (賴清德) won the election. Similarly, there was no way the enormously complex live fire training exercises China launched to upend the status quo could have been planned in the tiny window of time from the-then US House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement she was to visit Taiwan and her arrival. They had planned it long in advance, — her trip was merely an excuse. To this day, it is common to see the Chinese military gray zone menacing behavior that continues being traced to Pelosi’s visit, almost as if she were somehow to blame.

Hey trust me they've been planing this for a long time. And these misogynists of course blame girl queen Pelosi. Not like China denounced the visit in advance. Classic reversal of cause and effect.

In communist China they jail anyone that is exposing the state of commiting war crimes

[-] carl_marks_1312@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 month ago

They shouldve jailed those who "independently reported" on COVID and propagated "vaccine skepiticm" here in the west too.

The Shenzhen frenzy dovetails with Hong Kong residents’ growing willingness to work and live in mainland China. A survey of people under 40 in the city by the Hong Kong-Guangdong Youth Association conducted last year found 66% of them are now open to employment across the border, tripling from 22% in 2020.

China genocided HKs culture so that more ppl stop realizing how bad cummunism is

Still better than being indebted to Dollars, considering the interest rates and the imposition of austerity measures by the IMF imo

nuanced and realistic is when you hold other gvmts to higher standards than your own. Got it.

While I agree with the amount of CO2 being the meaningful statistic, I see China doing a lot more in that regard than the US.

  • Per Capita CO2: China is way lower
  • Produces and deploys renewables on an unprecedented scale
  • Public transport is taken serious

When the US/West exported it's treat production to China pointing the finger to the total CO2 output is just chauvinist

This type of comment reads really chauvinist, especially when you're defending Biden for increasing oil production in the other thread
