They’ve been diluting the ethnic Tibetan population and oppressing the Muslim population of Xinjiang (Uyghurs) by banning religion. They certainly won’t foster “unity” in the way we think and will use their influence for self-preservation. If this is for unity, it’s to keep their citizens in check so they can stay in power.

That’s obviously what it meant by “unity”. “Unity” in the sense that the state has absolute power over everyone. No seperatist movements or whatnot.
Religion is not banned, Jesus christ it takes two seconds on any search engine to disprove that factoid.
Also dilution of an ethnic population is called the entirety of human history, and its not a bad thing. The only people against race mixing are nazis and nazi adjacent individuals.
Also Tibet is significantly better off without the child sex slaves, in my opinion. I know a lot of people disagree for some reason and want king pedo back in power there, but I personally think they might just be better off with equal rights and no child sex slavery.
No, it’s not “banned” but effectively it is. It’s illegal to proselytize. I mean, the Dalai Lama fled to India in the 50’s because of China. I won’t even get into Xinjiang’s labor camps. And no, race mixing is not a bad thing, but that is not what this is, especially when it’s done deliberately and forcefully. I like how you try to conflate race mixing with ethnic dilution. China aims to erase the Tibetan culture, not mix with it. There are way fewer Tibetans than Han. Magnitudes fewer. So fuck off with your weird sex shit and get off your high horse.
Tibetan culture that's being 'erased' is weird sex shit, sorry you want child sex slaves back, you're not getting them.
Secondly, and again, no, religion is not banned in China. There are more mosques in any tier one city than there are in NYC or LA. This is easily verifiable information.
I like my silly LGBTQ manhua (Chinese manga)
Recommendations? Ideally with physical releases?
phone only :(((
Oooooooooooooooh so when America homogenizes western culture with propaganda it's fine but when China does it we have to write weird scientifically frames xenophobic articles about it?
Lots of pot calling the kettle black these days if you ask me.
Nah it’s literally all bad.
And this comes from Japantimes, a country that said fuck you to indigenous people and replaced them with the majority ethnic group. (To be fair, that’s pretty much every country’s history — Fuck Stateism).
Hexbear is that way, sir.
You don't have to be a CCP shill to see the hypocrisy in how American cultural exports are normalized and not sensationalized.
Chinese culture was, just like US culture, normalized until they started claiming land and ocean, and committing genocide. Now both cultures are frowned upon.
You don't need to be from hexbear to appreciate the irony of a Japanese publisher warning of Chinese culture when Japan has been Americanized such that KFC is a Christmas tradition in Japan.
Is KFC for Christmas even a thing in the US? As far as I know that's a unique thing in Japan and the result of a marketing campaing, not cultural exchange, and the rest of the world was just as much affected by the coca cola campaign that made santa's clothes go from green or brown to red.
And it makes sense. Japan doesn't even really celebrate Christmas and it is still today vastly overshadowed by the japaneae new year celebration following it.
I live in Japan and don't see much resemblance to the US anywhere. Maybe that they are the only other country than the US where people care about baseball, and that people like Disney. Japan is very conservative in its own culture.

KFC for Christmas isn't American. KFC is American. Christmas is American. Japanese do both showing the extent of American cultural contamination. So a Japanese writer warning about Chinese culture is kind of hypocritical. Japanese love their American culture of KFC and baseball but are warning others about Chinese cultural contamination.
Uh, Christmas is not American, and the concept of Santa is originally Scandinavian. KFC is a corporation and its Japanese branch is Japanese. China has way more cultural influence on Japan than the US to the point where they aren't comparable.
Christmas is Western. Santa is Western. KFC stands for KENTUCKY fried chicken.
I love my Toyota. I'm not going to claim it's an American company.
"China has way more cultural influence on Japan"
The article is in English. It's warning the West, not Japanese.
The article would be no different than if a Chinese journalist wrote about the dangers of Japanese culture to Americans. "Kids are going to watch Dragonball and play Pokemon if you don't stop the Japanese!"
