Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Pot to kettle: you’re black
Ah yes China, well known for... invading countries like the US does instead of dealing with things diplomatically and economically
9 Dash Line isn't diplomacy.
China's only really become comparable to the US in the past couple decades. Give it some time. Their increasingly heavy-handed posturing around Taiwan for instance seems to say they're well on their way.
Whatabout USA ...
Unlike the US, China hasn't been declaring war every week for two centuries.
Instead, the belt and road initiative is what neolibs think USAID is.
I guess the border clashes with India where you want to take their land aren't happening.
That your explicit, logistical and tactical support for Russia aggression against Ukraine isn't happening.
I also guess you've never commited genocide against the Uyghurs.
Nor Tibet, Nor Taiwan, Nor Hong Kong - China may not be as willing to engage in intercontinental wars but it absolutely does use force or the threat of force to bully neighbors. Anyone denying Chinese aggression hasn't been watching the South China Sea.
This is a neo-colonists project. USAID actually did a lot of good things. I dare you to show an example of Chinese foreign aid that did the good things that USAID did.
Belt and road very likely passing through Syunik, Armenia, and in that project most likely devised as area occupied by Azerbaijan in near future, right? And before that passing through Artsakh, which is already occupied by Azerbaijan and ethnically cleansed. F-ck, they've even demolished a prehistoric megalith because they can't tell the difference between that and something Armenian.
Not being too assertive, just - this particular part concerns my family and part of my heritage, so there's need to mention it.
Anyway, China still occupies Tibet. And - you don't need to make war if you can just buy aboriginal elites, like in Central Asian countries, and some sub-Saharan African ones.
Whatabout USA ...
