    At this point the US has murdered more caribbean fishermen in this last year than the people that died in Tiananmen square and certainly much more civilians in Iran, including more than a hundred kids in a single strike. They also murdered thousands of yemeni, including targeted strikes on weddings.

    But i guess China just as bad as the US 🤷

      The Chinese Red Cross estimated 2,600 fatalities. That’s a lot of fishermen.

        Lots of places claim this, I followed some circular sourcing to different newspapers but no primary source, if you have an actual primary source share it, otherwise it’s a matter of whether I trust western media to report accurately on a color revolution, and of course I don’t.

        If you find evidence from the Chinese Red Cross I’m listening.

        Took me all of 3 minutes to Google this, open up Wikipedia and read:

        The Society’s leadership from the 1920s-1940s was closely tied with the American and British Red Cross societies, the Kuomintang government and the Shanghai business community.

          Took me all of 1 second to realize that the massacre happened after the 1940s.

          Then it took me all of an additional minute to read what happened after the 1940s in the Wikipedia article:

          “The Chinese Communist Party re-organized the Red Cross organization in Beijing and was admitted to the International Federation in 1950.”
