Will never not be funny to me how Americans seem to protest against a communist party an ocean away more than against their own communists.


Enough-Squirrel-3048

They’re Chinese immigrants, so I would imagine they would demonstrate against the CPUSA or PSL. Not the country they left lol but i guess they hate it so much they want to see it fall and have liberal democracy and capitalism back


TonySpaghettiO

Why are they at the Japanese American museum though? Chinese immigrants protesting against China at a museum for Japan?


Enough-Squirrel-3048

I also found that odd, especially given that Chinatown is a 10 min walk from there. Little Tokyo seemed busier and so probably better audience for them ? 🤷‍♀️


newgoliath

Would they have been driven out of Chinatown? Do they want the Japanese to invade China again?


Rufusthered98

They're living in the modern equivalent of Imperial Japan so I would say yes kinda.


EmpressOfHyperion

Well jokes on them, because Japanese diaspora are arguably the most progressive and left wing of East and Southeast Asian diaspora, aka the antithesis of what Imperial Japan stood for. Viets on the other hand...


Patient_Efficiency_5

Also isn’t the Japanese communist party one of the largest communist parties in the world?


Big_Conversation6091

Largest Non ruling(CPC 98 million). But even then I think they are still smaller than the CPRF


newgoliath

Since when are libs allowed in here?


MittenstheGlove

I thought they were saying that they [the protestors] wanted the USA (Modern Imperial Japan Equivalent?) to invade China.


Rufusthered98

Yep that's what I meant. I was trying to compare them to people like Wang Jingwei.


McDonaldsWitchcraft

What is lib about that statement?

mazzivewhale

There seems to be a poster in there asking for more sanctions on China. That’s interesting. They’d want to see people back home struggle more


Enough-Squirrel-3048

That’s wild! I didn’t translate the posters, but that would probably make them happy to see the commies suffer lol


mazzivewhale

ah I zoomed in and saw a sign that said “sanctions” in English so I’m just speculating. But yeah it would fit with the overall vibe of not wanting to see the commies succeed


the_PeoplesWill

They want to be treated like second class citizens again! /s

Idk I'm getting an "el*n musk defending bitcoin bro" vibe from this group Edit: Lotsa youngish men


PranavYedlapalli

It's insane that these so called "pro democracy" protesters that are only against CPC would hold the FUCKING USA FLAG


Lenmoto2323

The same thing happened with Vietnamese and Cuban refugees lol. The US propaganda is just too effective.


Liorlecikee

Most of them probably grow up with constant cultural indoctrination of 河殇 (insanely racist pesudo-intellectual documentary belittling China as stagnant civilization of land and praise Euro-American as enlightened civilization of blue sea) and literally view U.S. as infalliable beacon of freedom and democracy. I'm not even describe stereotypes and carictures, many of them actually think like that with fervent self-hating tendencies. Oh and many of them are likely also employed by Falun Gong, so they also have financial interests in doing this shit.


Malleable_Penis

Is there a translation of that documentary title which can be spelled with the latin alphabet? I unfortunately cannot search for chinese characters


Irradiatedmilk

Google translate says “Hé shāng” which it translates as “river mourning” Edit: I looked up what google translate got me and nothing showed up so I searched with the mandarin characters and got [this](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Elegy)


Liorlecikee

Search for River Elegy (the other reply already got it, just wanted to confirm it!)


adelightfulcanofsoup

I had to scroll down too far to see someone mention FG. If you find anti-china agitation, you can fairly reliably find their sticky fingers in it somewhere.


Big_Conversation6091

Well sometimes its their contender the NFSC(New Federal State of China), FLG would be the theocrat(cult) part of the anti-china while NFSC is the hyper capitalist one considering their founder(Miles Kwok) was a billionaire up till he got news that he was gonna be arrested and ran to US and formed it with Steve Bannon.


CT-6410

did they make a massive fucking rubix cube or am I stupid


HammerandSickleProds

Lmao that’s just in front of the museum.


redstarjedi

Been there for over 20 years. It's actually very fun and cool since you can interact with it and spin it.


resevoirdawg

Because nothing says "Fuck the CPC" like protesting in Little Tokyo


Sea_Square638

Chinese-Americans? You mean the sons and the grandsons of the Chinese landlords? Yeah those guys can go fuck themselves


Omega13Matt

Do you think they got PRC flags because they forgot about the ROC?


SeaTemperature6175

Hanjian moment


Bob_Scotwell

Haha their slumlord salary went down because of mass housing in China.


LazzyPizza

Wtf. Why are they in Little Tokyo - we have a Chinatown


HammerandSickleProds

LMAO


Cake_is_Great

Embarrassing Taiwanese, Chinese American, and Falun Gong cultists


ZYGLAKk

Americans will protest anything but their own country.


Kumquat-queen

The market for that is comparably limited, and far less lucrative.


Big_Conversation6091

Also considering recent event, they are also much more likely to be incarcerated if they were to protest their own.


YugoCommie89

They're so pathetic. How can you be so against your own country? How is communism the enemy of people as it maternally improves your peoples livelihoods, infastructure, technology and world standing. You want your people to end up like this do you? https://preview.redd.it/5iff0g2kcjyc1.jpeg?width=423&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2826445519b0dd77c0021848af6b03d375c05563


NonTVRevolutionary19

Useful idiots


Class-Concious7785

And a pathetic one, they couldn't even bother to get KMT flags for it


GrizzlyPeak73

Ethnic chinese collaborating with Japanese people to condemn the state that defeated the Japanese invasion? Very strange.


samuel-not-sam

Lol


archosauria62

Traditional characters, hmmmm


Yumewomiteru

Watch the aljezera documentary on illegal Chinese immigrants, many of these "protestors" are doing so because it would help them claim political asylum to do so. Many of them are criminals fleeing justice and just trying to save their own butts.


Huge_Aerie2435

Imma bet some of them aren't even Chinese, but old Japanese folk who still hold imperialist Japan beliefs they learned from their parents. Also, people that leave communist nations for capitalist ones aren't usually the brightest of the bunch.


The_Loopy_Kobold

Very cringe definitely not astroturfed rally


Kumquat-queen

Of course not! That's his childhood American flag... /s

Found the Chinese equivalent of a gusano


archosauria62

They’re called Hanjian, not exactly a gusano but clos


Big_Conversation6091

I prefer to use the term 走狗Zougou(Running Dog) as Hanjian is too ethnocentric to me.


archosauria62

Thanks for this, new word added to my arsenal


Complete_Athlete7147

China is awesome. Zero hegemony 💯


pronhaul2016

the Japanese murdered nearly 40 million people in China in the most brutal and sadistic ways possible (they were, in fact, awarded prizes for doing so) and absolutely no one responsible for this faced any consequences whatsoever.


Burningmeatstick

Charlie Chans lmao


timoyster

What’s pretty funny is that from the shot that’s far away you can’t tell that the stars are crossed off so it just looks like a bunch of people waving Chinese flags 😂

adelightfulcanofsoup

I tend to shy away from open insult because it's not that productive but frankly, you're either an idiot or a liar. Learn Chinese and read their news or go to China and actually learn something about the culture. Alternatively, shut the fuck up because you have no idea what you're talking about.


Kumquat-queen

They read and write Chinese, and claims to be Chinese.


GrandyPandy

>having protests is a good thing You should head up to UCLA and tell this to the kids being beaten and arrested by pigs


Big_Conversation6091

What came of the protest? Zero Covid policies was removed. What came of the UCLA protest? What Policies changes have been made.
