Exporting our broken form of governing, which is rife with corruption, mismanagement, unresponsive to the majority of the population, and defaults to redirecting money from the poorest to the richest, is the goal of western monopoly capital.

Basically "Our broken system allowed capital to rob 400 million people, let's utilize it in robbing 1.4 billion Chinese people next..."

Any idea that the American and European elite are pushing this for "benevolent purposes" flies in the face of a few centuries of well documented western history.

Reddit's definition seems more contextual, it weighs the dynamics of current economic, cultural, institutional, etc... racism

Here is the Oxford dictionary definition:

"The inability or refusal to recognize the rights, needs, dignity, or value of people of particular races or geographical origins. More widely, the devaluation of various traits of character or intelligence as ‘typical’ of particular peoples. The category of race may itself be challenged, as implying an inference from trivial superficial differences of appearance to allegedly significant underlying differences of nature; increasingly evolutionary evidence suggests that the dispersal of one original people into different geographical locations is a relatively recent and genetically insignificant matter."

>This is actually great news, China is returning to a pre-western interference/corruption state.

>In the end it seems the phony protests and other types of agitation funded by western intelligence agencies and capital weren't successful.

>99% sure China's remaining illegal drug problem is further reduced thanks to this news. The criminals will now have to peddle their garbage elsewhere if all goes according to plan.

>Hopefully Taiwan is next...

Is there any proof these protests were foreign funded? From my understanding this was a grassroots democracy movement.

Chrome is glorified spyware, simple truth.

When $GOOG gets squeezed, they always find new ways to use your data for commercial purposes.

Yes, the US was funding the movements to overthrow Assad.

"helping Isis fighters relocate" and "throwing bags of cash" sounds pretty similar to me, if the cash leads them to China's border.

I agree and think China has a right to include its own account of history in the record.

Now we knows what this feels like...

We had a lot of sanction happy presidents and the American population barely bat an eye-lid as millions died from the fallout.

Only thing lost in this case is money, so far.

This is the problem with only having 4-5 media companies as well, you have a point.

Every media organization aligned against Saddam when the intelligence agencies (US govt) signaled it, with 0 evidence.

Lot of truth to the funding sources for HK protests originating in the west even if the protestors believe in what they are fighting for.
