Teresa Wright Looks at Protest and Resistance in China

[@tsengenhu6494]

One of the tenants in Confucius teachings is citizens are what make a ruler legitimate. Without the support of people, a ruler will be overthrown. That is repeated throughout Chinese history. So I would argue that CCP understand the issue well and the reason they were able to overthrown KMT was because they had overwhelming support of people. I would then submit to you that CCP goal has everything to do with meeting demands of people…only thru that would they get the legitimacy to rule. In any presentation like this, it would be good to have control group for comparisons. In absence of control group for comparison, it is impossible to draw any reasonable conclusions. For example I would submit that in the USA, any one the major parties would have the same goal to get votes so that the party could rule.

@49:00 this is so true. Ty for stating this.

[@siamcharm7904]

no mention of the major role of US in HK or xinjiang.

[@zamoeyu]

Yeah they use and support Xinjiang forced labor because China punishes companies and nations that point out it's human rights abuses. The cowardliness of anglophone powers do not excuse the abuse of China.

[@upsty6499]

Similarly in the USA the red states want just nice infrastructure and it would seemingly fall under tier 1 it seems. Ty for this lecture.

[@siamcharm7904]

beijing responds when protests turn violent as in HK and xinjiang.

[@zamoeyu]

In which HK police officers were offered money and pressured to crack down by the CCP, abusing and jailing peaceful protesters.
