Pretty ignorant of China’s politics myself, who to follow for good coverage of what’s going on in China? This latest consolidation of power by Xi, is it more of the same or is this something we haven’t seen before?

    Falun Gong is anti China and you’re gonna take an anti China dude’s word on this uncritically?

    It is a cult. Go look into it more than just on Wikipedia ffs.

      “do your own research, but don’t trust the thing stitched together by obsessive nerds trying to help you do research” is the sort of thing conspiracy nuts say.

      To support your position on contested facts, always provide a link. Any link, with as many options as you care to include. Quotes are nice but not required.

        I don’t have time to try and educate someone who’s desire to learn stops at Wikipedia lmao. I have better things to do. Be more curious and challenge yourself a bit

          If you have time to yell “go do your own research!” but can’t be bothered to provide even one link, please don’t get upset if you’re dismissed as a loon.

          To paraphrase an old idea: That which was asserted without evidence should be dismissed without evidence.

            Seems you are proving my point here instead of spending time to go look anything else up you’d rather remain ignorant and keep blabbing here lol
