North American citizens may have forgotten about actions taken by their own government against indigenous peoples in 'modern' times. (Which preceded those of Germany, Japan and China.)
All true and we can now play a game of quoting American vs European/American history (plenty of genocides in either). But that doesn't make the present-day crimes of the CCP any less heinous or horrible.
Of course it doesn't make the crimes less heinous. If anything it makes them more heinous, because they failed to learn from those mistakes. Their statues will also be torn down.
I am pretty sure that CCP is less heinous and horrible comparing to those acts. This is exactly why I am strongly against labeling anyone Nazi without really comparing their actions. Westerners love to use terminology they are familiar with, 'colonism', 'slavery' and 'genocide'. I don't know what's the purpose of using these words rather than stating facts, personally I feel that they want to make themselves look good by associate these words with Chinese investment in Africa, Chinese factory and now Xinjiang.
Just like what happened with Nazi Germany, nobody will do anything until it starts impacting them.
China is too smart to directly attack the US and its allies. At least currently. In twenty years, things may be different.
It's worth noting that the US' history of interventionism hasn't been great. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan... But that's probably not the strategy it would choose to take.
It is strikingly similar to the build up to world war 2. China is the modern day Nazi Germany. They're no better. I know that people don't want to compare anyone to them because they were so bad, but China as it exists today is that bad, it is not an overstatement.
