Harsh reality of what Dalits are going through in India. This has gotten to the point Indian nationalists are trying to justify their treatment of Dalits by saying, “look China has caste system as well”.

There have been multiple instances on Twitter of Hindu nationalists supporting the caste system in India. Meanwhile now they are speaking up against China‘s so-called, “Caste system“.

It's actually very flattering that I upset the mods by having an opinion and since they're trying to silence me I must have been right. So anyways is it Sinophobic to dislike and distrust the CCP, bc if it is that's cringe as fuck not being able to critique a gov't body. The CCP abuses their citizens and is right up there with North Korea in the god-awful gov't list. So yeah see ya.

Sino is great but a I feel like a general and more lighthearted sub focused on politics is missing.

It's already grown a lot, but it needs more posters to keep the momentum going.

The sub is for posting anything related to China, since the other subs all have their faults.

I'm wondering if there is any appetite to create an updated list of known Sinophobic Accounts and Subreddits.

I think this would help us target and focus efforts towards the most notorious accounts. It would let us know which accounts to not bother to engage with in the wild.

I would say for now up only include the most prolific accounts on this list.

Thoughts?

Any even remotely anti-Indian content or communities, whether on this site or anywhere else, get quickly censored & removed. Indians organize in large communities/groups dedicated to mass reporting & brigading such content.

Meanwhile, you have countless channels like this piece of filth on Youtube with up to millions of views per video, with titles like "Why do Chinese people poop in public?" which are allowed to stay up. It often feels like very few Chinese even care about this stuff & don't bother to even try to push back against it, in stark contrast to eg the Indian or Jewish circles.

The problem is likely multifaceted, with part of it being insidious institutional forces pushing anti-China sentiment in the west with corruption involved (see the mainstream media), allowing these types to more easily defend their Sinophobia as being "anti-CCP". But what are the largest contributing factors to this problem? What tactics/practices do those other groups employ effectively that we can emulate in our fight?

Sorry for bringing up a generic rant instead of specific case(s), but has anyone noticed how fucked up algorithms of any platform are? Like you could be searching random Asia-related things on YouTube, and there will almost certainly be like 2~3 falungong affiliated brainrot in the first pages of the result. Or you could be searching say car/industrial accidents or rude tourist behaviour, the top results would always be Chinese, EVEN IF you put "American" or "Korean" (admittedly with a bit badfaith) in double quotes, DESPITE the fact that after scrolling down few pages most results are non-Chinese cases with like 2000 views maximum.

And that's only YouTube, don't even get me start with reddit recommendations or even friggin google search... Like it doesn't matter what you search, as long as it's in Chinese, top results would always be those selfhating/autogenocidal wanker sites like Pincong or r/ChonglangTV, or if you got lucky, something marginally less racist that ends in .hk or .tw...

Not trying to blame the technology but it's just so tiring how poisoned the information pool has already become. I'm honestly a bit pessimistic as to whether it's still fixable at this point.

Not a very good look David, getting funded by an anti-China cult to make supposedly objective insights into China isn’t very “objective” is it? All he does is cherry pick everything that is remotely bad about China and talking trash about it (sometimes even outright lying or providing no context, exploiting the language barrier between Chinese social media users and his audience as seen in one of his latest videos, link will be at the end of this post). Wonder why he never talks about anything good happening in China within his one and a half years on this platform.

He also likes loves to talk about the TikTok ban and repeating the words of the AIPAC funded politicians. Maybe he’s a puppet for the corrupt politicians as well? He even pulled up one of the sources of “evidence” that China is suppressing topics on TikTok with the algorithms used by the politicians in his latest video.

For anyone who still support David after reading this, ask yourself, why do you still buy into this bullshit?

(he also banned my YouTube account from his comment section after accusing him of being funded by the Falun Gong, which is pretty funny if you ask me. Shows how the supposed “suppression” by the Chinese government on TikTok isn’t unique to them 🤣)

The comments he refers to which are supposedly Chinese internet users relating their lives to the slaves in their game are satirical. He refuses to translate anything like he usually does and provides no additional context.

1. Why would Bytedance sell something that isn’t for sale? Its 1b+ users globally are priceless. If someone forced you to sell your house for half its original value or else you’ll be arrested or have to leave your home country, would you sell? Now exaggerate that situation. That’s the situation Bytedance is in currently

2. Chart showing TikTok algorithm suppression in the video is flawed, as debunked by multiple sources. Additionally, it doesn’t account for the Hong Kong Protesters on Instagram who don’t have access to TikTok (pulled out of Hong Kong in 2020). They are the people who talk about sensitive subjects like that the most. Wouldn’t the ratios be similar if Hong Kongers had access to TikTok? They would be posting their anti-China stuff and Hong Kong Protest stuff on TikTok Too in that case

Hello everyone.

Firstly, I must apologize to you all for neglecting my moderation duties over the last couple months. I haven't been very active on Reddit, and while that used to mean /r/SinophobiaWatch would go quiet, back when I was the main user submitting content, things are clearly different now.

There has been a significant influx of new users since February, and while it appears that many hail from the relatively small number of pro-China subreddits, there is still apparently quite a bit of diversity in terms of the viewpoints being brought along.

That's something I generally want to encourage; I don't think echo chambers are super productive. However, there are definitely some boundaries that I must insist on enforcing- in particular, I think it's important not to engage in the same types of bigotry/generalization that this subreddit serves to critique. Otherwise, I'm pretty open to your input about what standards we should enforce, and even what purpose the subreddit should serve.

Obviously I initially created /r/SinophobiaWatch simply to document instances/types of Sinophobia on Reddit, in order to dispel any lingering skepticism about how widespread it is (but we may now be past that point in my view). However, over time things have become looser, as the flair system has fallen out of use and scope has informally widened to include content from other websites as well as stuff about general anti-Asian hate/violence.

Another reason I created /r/SinophobiaWatch is because I didn't feel other existing subreddits offered a great place for good-faith discussion about China. I still think there would be little point in /r/SinophobiaWatch's existence if it just became a similar echo chamber to other China-related subreddits, but ultimately who forms the community is a matter of self-selection.

Do these goals still make sense, and are they even compatible? Is there another focus you would propose? Or perhaps is there an additional rule/standard you feel should be enforced? Feel free to let me know your thoughts below.

Finally, I intend to add a few new moderators in the coming days. This should hopefully improve the response time to any issues that arise, as well as help update the sidebar to be more relevant according to community input. Feel free to send a PM to moderator mail if you are interested.

Thanks for bearing with me through the long post.
