Another East Asian cultural context here:
Beijing often imply Han supremacy over 🇯🇵🇰🇷. Recent years, many patriotic netizens fought wars over how Japanese & Korean cultures are “stolen” from imperial China/Middle Kingdom
🇨🇳 is an ethno-nationalist state
This narrative is remarkably similar to some united front messaging targeting China-linked diaspora groups. It relies on convincing people they will never be accepted by the West or liberal democratic countries. Of course, this is totally inaccurate. 1/2

20 years ago, I participated in my first protest in Hong Kong.
I didn’t understand why the crowd was opposed to Article 23, but my father told me that Hongkongers must show up to fight for our rights.
“Because this is Hong Kong, and we are not China yet” he said.

Without due process or formal guidelines to foreign influence (FI), any allegations could end someone’s career and reputation, while putting racialized politicians in further danger to racist attacks.

Not getting actively bombed is not an indicator that Uyghur and Tibetan communities aren’t dying.
Westerners want any justification to look away and avoid holding the PRC accountable for their atrocities.
This isn’t an intellectual debate. PRC is conducting a fucking genocide.
It’s fine that Uyghurs are making your iPhones & fast fashion garments under inhumane working conditions.
Or that Uyghur women are being married off to Han families & raped.

In the past, activists would “gear up” by wearing masks, hats, unidentifiable clothing, covering up tattoos to attend a protest at the consulate/embassy.
Now, there’s a higher level of risk for activists, which force them to assess whether they can be safe (or feel safe) to go.
