I don't hate or fear the Chinese. I teach, and now part time, and many of my students through the years were Chinese. You are making a very prejudicial assumption. I didn't voice my opinion but what I thought Carlson's was, and I don't believe he is someone who wants to go to war with China, as you stated. I didn't say there was any global equivalent to neocons in China, and to be honest I'm more afraid of us then I am of them. That being said, what about those Uyghurs? I doubt China is without prejudice, like all countries.

Your comment about "those Uyghurs" shows lack of understanding about China and indicates you have succumbed to anti-China propaganda. China had a problem with Uyghur/Moslem separatist terrorism a few years ago. She solved it with a program to bring the Uyghurs fully into modern China and to reeducate those corrupted by jihadi beliefs. There is sound evidence that the terrorists were a CIA destabilization op, and that is perhaps why the West demonized China for a very progressive approach, ie, China took their best toy away, as opposed to the American way of bombing them to death. At this point in time, the Uyghurs are doing as well as Han Chinese or any other minority and their economy is only hindered by US sanctions supposedly aimed at 'helping' them.

When a nation institutes prejudice as policy, it becomes a fascist state. Chinese people may hold prejudice, but the Chinese state can not and does not.
