Isn’t this what the United States did, just without the genocide?

yes, I know they too have committed genocide but I’m referring specifically to this action

NoneOfUrBusiness ,

I mean yes, only the US did it more than a hundred years ago. A more modern comparison would be Israel, and, well... yeah.

xor ,

Yeah, and it also somewhat happens as a consequence of building military infrastructure there too. Military bases need people to staff them, and those people need food, water, entertainment etc etc

Glowstick ,

Just based on the title it sounds sensible to me. I assume there’s some incentive that makes the people want to do this

China is paying them to live there. They're also inside disputed territories.

Sibbo ,

So Mongolia is not a threat?

aeronmelon ,

They’re the exception.

metaStatic ,

NegativeInf ,

Operation Human Shield?

So China plays literally The Settlers.

China bad? This is so obviously framed as aggression by China. This smells of pro-war propaganda, reprogramming people to expect a coming war with China. Be weary of the sneaky China man on your borders! Next they’ll tell us Taiwan should join Nato.

Meanwhile the New York Times is supporting Trump and thus supporting fascism.

Visstix ,

I mean building villages in areas claimed by other countries is kind of a dick move huh.

LarmyOfLone ,

But building villages in areas claimed by your own country would be fine, right?

This is the problem with this article, it just assumes that China’s claims are illegitimate. I don’t know that. Do you? I DO know the new york times has lied in the past and is supporting fascism at this moment. So coming from an unreliable source, this claim should be treated with very much suspicion since it’s used to justify a narrative. This article just glosses over the presumably complex historical and international legal questions. But even the fascist supporting new york times makes it clear that China isn’t claiming vast swathes of land, but it’s merely creeping on the border of disputed areas.
