Is this to imply that north Koreans can't be well qualified legitimate candidates?
Legitimate? You do realize it's illegal to hire NK workers in most civilized countries?
Spy agencies lying? Unthinkable!

China "occupies" Tibet to the same degree that USA occupies California Republic, or Texas Republic. The fact that this meme stil lives in western mind just shows how pathetic and detached from reality is western anti-CCP propaganda. Propaganda should contain truth, to be credible, otherwise it ceased to be effective
> China "occupies" Tibet to the same degree that USA occupies California Republic, or Texas Republic. You've got some facts wrong. The "California Republic" was a tiny rebellion against Mexico whose goal was to join the US. The Texas Republic also asked to join the US (and was turned down the first time). But if your point is that the US is as much an empire as China, I agree.
I mean, just literally if you run a poll among United Nations members, people would rate the statement like "China occupies Tibet" and "USA occupies Texas" as the same delusional things - fantasy detached from reality

North Koreans and South Koreans are the same race, divided only by fairly recent politics. This is nationalist, if anything, not racist. Try replacing "North Korean" with "Soviets".
Now you're just arguing semantics. "I hate Ethiopians" is just as problematic as "I hate black people". "Don't trust him, he's from Israel"
To the best of my knowledge, Ethiopia isn't running international crime rings to fund nuclear ambitions.

There is Tibet, which had declared independence in 1913 and then decisively split itself from China by expelling all Chinese in 1945. The PRC conquered them because they were part of the Chinese "motherland". You can argue that the communist were the lesser of two evils (I would agree), but you can't argue this wasn't an imperial conquest. The situation in the rest of China is a lot more complex.

The sino-vietnamese was a ridiculous mistake for the socialist project, that I agree with. But this wasn't an imperial war. When I mentioned modern China, I referred to the PRC, so after (most of its) national reunification. I fail to see how anti-terrorist repression in Xinjiang is akin to any form of imperialism. Otherwise they wouldn't celebrate those cultures on TV and during huge national events. This applies to…

Yeah, and if you ask someone if they are an undercover cop, they have to tell you. This doesn't pass the smell test.
That's because you are assuming the DPRK's culture is like western culture. It isn't. They have secret police everywhere and if you say anything that isn't positive about the state, you will get disappeared and your whole family probably will too. This is understood at a very young age. They would need have to have a group of people isolated from this practice since birth for a couple of generations before they can pass this test.

Til modern China is an Empire. If so, can you name at least one country under Chinese occupation, or one Chinese protectorate?
> If so, can you name at least one country under Chinese occupation, or one Chinese protectorate? Tibet.
Xinjiang and the uighurs?

Isn't it imperalistic to threaten Taiwan with invasion?

> Tibet, before being re-integrated into the Chinese homeland, was a brutal theocracy whose population was 90% made of slaves. I hope you mentioned Tibet out of ignorance, and not out of nostalgia for human trafficking. I suspect that's a lie told by the Chinese, but even if it were true, it wouldn't change the fact that it's a country under Chinese occupation. Attempting to justify empire doesn't mean they aren't an…
Except Tibet was part of China before westerns divorced it from China. I dunno why but I think I'm gonna trust people who used to be the victims of colonial domination and looting over the recidivist offenders of the said colonial domination and looting when it comes to Asian history. Also NK is a Chinese protectorate as much as the USA is a Republic.

Fair enough, but then you can't claim that the US involvement in Korea was imperial.
> When I mentioned modern China, I referred to the PRC, so after (most of its) national reunification.
Why do you set this as a cut-off? Is an empire no longer imperial once it has conquered all its provinces? Besides that, what happened in Hong Kong? Was that not an Empire aligning its rebellious province by force?
> I fail to see how anti-terrorist repression in Xinjiang is akin to any form of imperialism.
I was mostly referring to the many purges between 1949 and 1976. While most of the millions killed in them were Han Chinese "class enemies", not pro-independence ethnic minorities, it was nonetheless part of the central committee solidifying total control of the country.
Since you mention it though, I'll just ask you: Are the various Uyghur councils and international NGOs just covering for terrorists? Did they fake all those official documents and the satellite pictures? How can you handwave what is happening in Xinjiang, yet be so concerned with Palestine? If you want to engage in some victim blaming, were the daily rocket attacks not terrorism?
