    The attempt to redefine human rights is party propaganda, literally.

    Pretending like the human race has never tried authoritarianism before and using that to excuse authoritarian trash is literal Chinese propaganda.

    Hope this helps

      There is no objective definition of “human rights”. It’s completely subjective and political. The common definition ignores obvious human needs like air, water, etc. for the purposes of enforcing capitalism. It’s pseudo-scientific bootlicking to insist on the preferred usage of your state, capitalists, lords, etal.

      Anything that questions western white supremacy is apparently “party propaganda” to you.

      Redefining “human rights” to include a right to food and water is not “party propaganda”. I literally quoted George Carlin. You seem to think “the party” is under your bed. You sound paranoid.

          “Peace, development, equity, justice, democracy and freedom” were common values, the minister stated, but countries with differing cultures and systems should promote human rights according to the “national realities and needs of their people.”

          “There is no fixed model of or standard answer to how to realize democracy. True democracy must be rooted in the realities of a country and serve its people”

          Did you actually read the article you linked or did you just Google “China human rights redefine” and copy and paste the first result?

          Sounds like a pretty reasonable thing to say to me. Ironically, with every reply you give you just further prove my point about how incredibly close minded western supremacy makes people. You just call everything non western “authoritarian” so you don’t have to actually engage in conversation. Or yell “party propaganda” like some red scare American from the 1950s.
