Comment critical of a Uyghur genocide happening in China being upvoted https://old.reddit.com/r/ndp/comments/1lm4kgh/we_should_move_much_much_closer_to_china/n0573ky/
Comment suggests that Canada needs to improve ties with China because of their leadership in green tech and climate action. This specifically asks for alignment with China on China's threats in Taiwanese Strait.
Comment highlighting that Canada should stop blindly siding with the U.S. and apply human rights standards fairly. Canada should act neutrally and build ties beyond the U.S. https://old.reddit.com/r/ndp/comments/1lm4kgh/we_should_move_much_much_closer_to_china/n05kfbw/
Original post invites respectful dialogue on China, acknowledging its flaws but highlighting its rapid tech and infrastructure growth. It critiques U.S. influence on Canada and urges stronger ties with China. An added note calls for urgent climate action and public engagement. Mention of human rights abuses notably absent. https://old.reddit.com/r/ndp/comments/1lm4kgh/we_should_move_much_much_closer_to_china/

(Text copied from Instagram post) Upcoming Hong Kong Studies Group event: 🏡 Finding “Home” on Turtle Island 🐢 Three Generations of Hong Kong Immigrants/Diaspora Reflecting on Solidarity with Indigenous Peoples in “Canada”: What does the Indigenous experience of colonization in “Canada” have to do with the Hong Konger diaspora?
