Get used to China's border creep tactics because it's going to keep happening until their dictatorship is forcefully dissolved.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

forcefully dissolved.
In acid i hope.
Israel was always part of China.
Hillary's emails too, huh?
Believe it or not, property of China.
And Zheng He “discovered” the Americas so I’m sure they want dibs on that too
their dictatorship is forcefully dissolved.
So never.
Closer than you think. Just look how fellow dictatorship Russia is doing. Hell, look how the USSR did. These regimes are like jenga as far as the strength of a nation is measured.
Russia is doing... fine? I mean the Russian people sure aren't, but authoritarianism in Russia isn't in any real threat despite the war. There's also absolutely no comparison with China, which is getting stronger by the day. Weak and incompetent authoritarians are overthrown, and the CCP is neither weak nor incompetent.
Russia is on the brink of civil war in addition to losing the Ukraine War. While they can keep producing shells forever they're running out of soldiers they've lost almost three times as many people to war as they have to covid.
Civil war? I have literally never heard anything about this. Best case scenario Putin is assassinated and another autocrat replaces him.
Russia is facing a potential civil war due to rising political, social and economic tensions, according to a Putin adviser. The warning was issued by Alexander Kharichev, the head of the Presidential Directorate for Monitoring and Analysing Social Processes.
Russians have been struggling with rising costs as inflation remains stubbornly high, with food prices in particular surging well above the average rate. The economy is starting to creak under the strain of almost four years of war, as firms struggle to keep their businesses afloat. Bankruptcies and lay offs loom large on the horizon, as the Kremlin prioritises its political agenda over the economy.

It can be hard to parse the amount of news involving Russia and War since they have their fingers in wars across the globe, from his support of factions in Myanmar to his comments on the USA.
What? Even if you take the argument, which is full of shit, at face value, tons of people are citizens to countries other than their birth county. Born or married into a family that grants you citizenship rights? Moved somewhere and changed citizenship?
It's up to India, not China, to determine who gets Indian passports, and it's China, not India's, fault for not issuing a Chinese passport to this woman if they view her place of birth as Chinese territory.
iirc China doesn't allow dual citizenship
That doesn’t mean that Chinese citizens cannot become citizens of other countries, just that they can’t do that and retain their Chinese citizenship. It’s also legal for former Chinese citizens to visit China, you’re not exiled or anything when you give up your citizenship.
Perhaps the CCP is changing their mind on the legality of that
They might, but it happens a lot, so it would be a big change. Countries that don’t allow dual citizenship tend to have a lot of former citizens visit, because anyone who marries someone from another country and lives with them there will have an easier time of things if they become a citizen of their new country, but they still have family back home to take care of (and the CCP is invested in keeping former citizens attached to their families, so they can use them as leverage).
That doesn't matter. She is an Indian citizen born on Indian territory.
Lots of countries say that, but that's incredibly impractical in practice
The problem is Chinese authorities at the airport did not accept that particular region as India so they didn't accept her passport.
When "You look Chinese, why aren't you Chinese?" turns into an international incident rather than just plain racism.
She is likely Tibetan and not ethnic Han Chinese.
That would explain persecution by Han supremacists.
