Why are many countries full of prejudice against China? Politics and governments

Because China try to capture most of the developing country by Loan trap
Because China try to capture most of the developing country by Loan trap
That's why I say that ,China has never done such a thing. You may not believe the description of China by your government and the media. That's nonsense

They put this covid 19 virus to spread all over the world. They have been spying on the USA. They were burning papers here in Houston at the Embassy and Trump closed that Embassy. If you want to know more just ask.
Forgive me if I offend you by saying this but that is just being suspicious; no country is good and no country is bad. Politics is like a game for power; just as you say they are spying on the USA, I’m sure the USA has also ruined a lot of other countries which were rising to power, and are also spying on other countries at this very moment. And you know what, how many pandemics, epidemics and viruses have there been? Many! It happened and there is no way to go back into the past to change it, so let’s not just pin all the blame onto them.
China is definitely not an amazing country, there are surely corrupt officials just like in any other country; I do not commend them for the way the people of Tibet and the Uyghurs are treated - after all, what is my heritage? From whom do I descend? But just as they commit these atrocities, so do all other countries. The only difference is China is a superpower and so the focus of all propaganda would be on them.
And you know what, let’s also acknowledge the damage that the USA has done to so many other countries too; no political power in this world is innocent.
Just as you will point out the shortcomings of China, let’s also point out the many, many shortcomings of the USA. They involve themselves with the political issues of other countries, like adding wood to a burning fire. When they choose to support a country, they do it on the premise that said country would be under their control, like puppets I guess. Take India as an example.

As for Xinjiang and Tibet, China has never insulted them. On the contrary, we have treated them well and even given them certain privileges. I know you're from Britain, so I'd like to remind you kindly that BBC has made too many fake news about China. For example, their documentary about Xinjiang is clearly in a place where interviews are allowed to be made public, but they have to make it look like a sneak shot, as well as the dark filter, making it seem like a secret. It's disgusting. The BBC is no longer a media. It's just a political tool used by the government to discredit others.

It might have something to do with how China treats minorities such as the weigers

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-50511063

Then again how it has treated the citizens of Hong Kong, public executions timed to allow organ harvests for party officials. There are a few reasons that China has a bad press. Is it prejudice?

They object to the way the Chinese government has treated the people of Tibet.
They object to the way the Chinese government is treating the Uyghur people.
They object to the way the Chinese government is treating the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.
They object to the way the Chinese government has passed laws that attempt to extend their authority over dissidents outside of their own borders.

All these things are well documented but the great digital wall of China doesn't allow people within China to see the information and that is another reason that other countries object to the way the Chinese government runs its affairs.

The government of our country has never deceived us. On the contrary, I think many western countries are making rumors to discredit China. They deceive their own citizens. China has never been ungrateful to the people of ethnic minorities and areas like Hong Kong and Macao. On the contrary, they have been doing well. All the people who have been to China, no matter what country they are, know it Yes, but there are always people who don't want to see all this. They create rumors, suppress China, and try to create chaos in China - for example, the United States and other countries were behind the Hong Kong riots some time ago. Of course, they will not tell the truth. The United States has been the world leader for a long time, but before the United States, China has been number one in the world for centuries. After the Opium War, China declined. This is a century of humiliation. We will not hide anything. Every detail in history textbooks is very clear. Now that China has stood up and become strong again, western countries will naturally fear and suppress China. Although we have no idea of dominating the world, they say that China has! In fact, what they call China is actually themselves - cheating, greed, selfishness and belligerence. In the two world wars in the world, was it not because of the boring contradictions of the capitalist world?

If you say that the Uighurs and Tibetans are doing well, can you explain the labor camps that they have opened in some places in Xinjiang? I don't think some countries want to smear China's image on purpose, but I'm puzzled ...

I don't know where you know this. There has never been such a thing as a labor camp. If you know it from the BBC, I can tell you very clearly that their so-called labor camp is actually just a dormitory of a sanitation company,People who work there are voluntary.The interview was also maliciously edited by them. China is full of surveillance. Do you really think that if China wants to hide something, these reporters will have a chance to go in and interview? They can't do it secretly either.That's why I say there are always people there who make absurd lies to deceive the world.

I'm afraid you're being delusional @LostDirection. If there aren't any deceptions from the Chinese government why do they need the great digital firewall that keeps people from freely getting information from outside of China and from freely communicating with the rest of the world?

It isn't just the BBC that provides negative information about China. It's pretty much most news organizations in countries with freedom of the press.

I'm afraid you are being deceived about Tibet. If they are free why can't the Dali Lama return to his home country?

News organizations here in the United States and elsewhere have taken satellite photos to show the destruction of mosques where the Uighurs live.

However you are unable to do a reasonable search to determine what is actually happening because your country has blocked your access to sites with the evidence of their wrongs.

Actually, sometimes there may be mistakes or misunderstandings on the part of journalists or the telespectors... Anyway.

October 6, 2020 - 39 Countries at UN Express ‘Grave Concerns’ About China’s Abuses
Call for International Monitoring of Human Rights Situation

https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/10/06/39-countries-un-express-grave-concerns-about-chinas-abuses#

From the article:

The joint statement endorses an unprecedented appeal from 50 UN human rights experts for the creation of a UN mechanism for monitoring human rights in China. A recent global civil society appeal from over 400 organizations echoed the experts’ call.

The line about 50 UN human rights experts is a link to this page https://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=26006&LangID=E

That page is a press release from the United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner.

So it isn't just other nations, it is the United Nations that also recognizes the human rights abuses China has been undertaking.

This is an article with satellite images showing the removal of mosques in China. It also has more information about their removal and interviews with people from the areas confirming their destruction.

This is a profound problem about China's digital firewall. In our values, freedom is very important, but too much freedom will bring chaos. China is a populous country, and there will be a lot of troubles if it is not restricted. China has done a good job in many aspects, such as anti-corruption, anti-cult, anti-triad, anti-drug, ban on gambling, ban on pornography and so on.These are not good things, although I don't know what you think, but in our opinion, banning these things is the real human right.Foreign websites are sometimes too free, and people can easily find the contents I said before. In order to protect minors, our country has set up this digital firewall, and when you are an adult, you can properly visit foreign websites through vpn.Therefore, he criticized China for building a digital firewall to conceal and cheat. Before criticizing China, I hope people can come to China and really feel everything in China, instead of listening to the media nonsense. China is a socialist country. Just like the Soviet Union in those days, capitalism all over the world wants China to disappear, so you can't trust your media too much. They can create a lot of false evidence to fool you.

As for this matter, I admit that I have never heard of it before, but I just searched online. Facts have proved that it does exist, but it is not so exaggerated. The reason for demolishing mosques is the excessive patriotism of local governments, which seriously erodes Chinese culture. This is obviously incorrect, Because our constitution stipulates that citizens have the right to freedom of religious belief.The government in this place has seen obvious violations, which have been investigated and dealt with at present. Everyone will make mistakes, and so will China, but foreign media seem to be happy to enlarge it.

This article says that thousands of mosques have been destroyed or damaged in the Xinjiang region of China.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/25/thousands-of-xinjiang-mosques-destroyed-damaged-china-report-finds

So I don't think it is a limited occurrence.

Hello PolyguySj
I admit that Cultural Revolution is a bad period of time in Chinese history. I don't like it too. But that has already pasted, do not judge any country by how it was in the history. China has already realized her fault during that period of time and she is trying her best to improve herself.

Now when it comes to muslim. I admit that I don't know this stuff before reading this report. But I think every country is not super. China is not super, so does America.

As for the nonsense in this article, I found the most official response, and I don't bother to explain anything. The West has a strong ability of rumor making, and some people can be convinced by the random data
On September 25, foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked a question about the report issued by the Institute of strategic policy, an Australian think tank, accusing China of demolishing a large number of mosques in Xinjiang.
Wang Wenbin said that the Australian Research Institute, funded by external forces, has long been engaged in fabricating Anti China lies, which has been questioned in many aspects and has no academic reputation. The report is pure slander. Religious human rights in Xinjiang have been fully protected, and the rights and freedoms of people of all ethnic groups, including Xinjiang Uygur people, have been effectively safeguarded in accordance with the law. Take the number of mosques in Xinjiang for example, there are about 24000 mosques in Xinjiang, with an average of one mosque for every 530 Muslim people. The total number of mosques in Xinjiang is more than ten times that in the United States, and the number of mosques per capita is higher than that in many Muslim countries. Some netizens have checked the address of the so-called detention camp in Xinjiang announced by the Australian Institute of strategic policy. Some of them are electronic industrial parks, and there is even a residential area with five-star praise. Such a crude report has no credibility at all, just like the strategic policy institute. We hope that all walks of life can distinguish right from wrong and jointly resist such absurd remarks concocted by Anti China organizations.

@LostDirection - Could you please post links to the information you're getting about the Australian Research Institute? Their entry in Wikipedia doesn't have any suggestion of their being anti China and doesn't list their criticism of China as something they're known for. It also lists their major donors as philanthropic family funds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Australia_Institute

I did find the Reuters report of the Chinese Foreign Ministry response to the think tank report of mosque damage and destruction which confirms the numbers you provided.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-mosques/china-foreign-ministry-denies-think-tank-claims-of-xinjiang-mosque-destruction-idUSKCN26H083

Here's another article from Forbes on the subject. It includes more precise numbers and relevant agreements that they believe are being violated by China.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewelinaochab/2020/11/06/the-disappearing-mosques-in-xinjiang/

So it seems as if we are in a he said/she said situation. Since China isn't letting independent human rights experts into the region to do their own investigations I know which side I believe is telling the more accurate story.

Thank you for your reply. I went to this research institute specially. Unfortunately, I can't even find its Wikipedia! I only found some comments about it, such as saying that it is a marionette,Anti-China Depth Charge, in academic cloak, smeared China with American money. What surprised me even more was that they exploited prison workers to earn money for arms!

The above is part of the information I found. I don't know if you can open it. After all, I can't open any of the links you sent me.
After that, I am not going to argue any more. I think your country is cheating on you, and you think our country is cheating on you. It is difficult for one party to believe in the other. At least I think China has never deceived us. Everything is open and transparent. If you want to really understand China, you can't believe the words in the media and come to China in person.China welcomes you.Remember: seeing is believing, but listening to the ear is illusory.

I do agree that our government sometimes does deceive us, but it isn't just my government's reports about your country, it's other governments, the United Nations and news organizations from around the world. I'm afraid your trust of your government's honesty is delusional. Since they control the media you're allowed to see it's easy for them to avoid being caught. At least in our country (and many other countries) we have a free press which is allowed to criticize and investigate the government and it's members.
