China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.

Do you mean the rule about not being Sinophobic? Is that really a hard rule for you to follow? I like to look at objective reality instead of just barking the same nonsensical shibboleths when the topic of China arises.

    No capitalist apologia / anti-communism

    You would whine even harder if lemmy.ml had No communist apologia / anti-capitalism in their rules.

    Most anti-communism has no basis in reality and often are myths perpetuated by state agencies. All Anti-Capitalist sentiment is rooted in the material realities of our world and life. To deny socialist historical reality is to deny your own history, and ultimately is an admission of your disingenuous support of the truth.

    Historical Materialism is truth seeking in practice. It requires you to have a fact based, objective view of our past and present.

    Also I don't know why I would whine, because I'm not using lemmy.ml. That instance can have whatever rules they want. I wouldn't block or defederate from them because of it either. But if you are not interested in seeking the truth and objectively observing reality, then I guess you can insolate yourself from it and keep your echos.
