Yeah, so to intensify the ‘peace talks,’ the Chinese government should take down its Great Firewall, allowing all non-Chinese apps to be downloaded in the country, and stop censorship. We can then discuss and learn better from each other, the good things and the bad ones, like the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989, forced labour in Xinjiang, or people like Xu Zhiyong, Cao Shunli, and many others.
Let Chinese people download apps from outside China, and ‘peace talks’ will even improve.
(As a personal note: I am really wondering whether the author of this article has ever been to China or knows some Chinese at least. I have been in the country and know a lot of Chinese citizens, but I never felt we needed ‘peace talks’ because we never were at war. Such an assumption, which the article appears to make, is complete rubbish. Such rhetoric comes from governments, not from the people. And in this case, it is particularly the Chinese government that is ‘firewalling’ the country and bombarding its own citizens with propaganda. If governments -in China and elsewhere- would work for the people in developed democracies, we don’t need peace talks as there is no war.)
Why doesn’t the PRC let its citizens come join social media that’s outside the great fire wall? They were never even allowed on tiktok in the first place
It’s good to see people engaging in cultural exchange and learning about each other through the app. Rednote sounds like an interesting place; most online spaces are dominated by men with relatively few women.

China Punishes Activists and Families to Quash Dissent, Report Says – (April 2024)
Addition as I have just seen it: Thailand must immediately halt deportation of 48 Uyghurs to China: UN experts - let’s add this issue to the peace talks, right?

False assumptions.
The people of China are not the reason China is bad, and they do not control their government in any way.
Peace is not an option for the government of China.
Chinese people are much more nationalistic than their government is. If it were a democracy it would have invaded Taiwan long ago.

What a rubbish.
Maybe we can just have leaders of the Chinese and American government do a battle royale. Leave ordinary people out of it.
Winner gets… eh… Marie Byrd Land? But not their original countries, we’re taking those back.
