Young Western social media users are embracing a “very Chinese time” of their lives, and China’s government is keen to use this moment to boost the country’s cultural influence worldwide.

    It is also terrifying since China has been know to do “ethnic cleansing” from time to time

        The human rights abuses by China are well documented. They aren’t the only country who has abused human right but that doesn’t make it somehow better.

          They dealt with terrorist attacks and China has jails, shocker.
          It’s not like they have a Guantanamo, luckily Obama closed that first day in office like he promised.
          Anyway, not getting into that, the China bad crowd have milked this non-issue long enough.
          And ‘ethnic cleansing’ is beyond pathetic
