:why? Do you see any other Wikipedia article about a country with a long list of alleged crimes it has done in the lead. Well china is not Nazi germany, this "genocide, mass murder, and forced labour are hallmarks" of the chinese regime seems incredibally biased and seems more of an opinion than a fact,how is this a hall mark for the chinese government, it makes it sound to opinionated as almost suggesting the Chinese government is a bad thing.

:::I'd agree that those crimes shouldn't be in the lead, as describing a country usually doesnt include the crimes it's commited. The lead is for the straight basics about the country, not going on a tirade about it's controverisal policies. That may change in the future, and also shouldn't just be tossed out of hand. There should be something about such policies and activities commited against China's own citizens somewhere in the article with good reliable sources. The mentioning of the Uyghur genocide should be somewhere, but I'd also put forward it doesn't have to be indepth, as it should link to the Uyghur genocide article itself, in the first place. This is the article about China as a country. Not about all of the crimes its ever committed, ever. There are other articles for that. Am I wrong in this assertion? Anyone's thoughts are welcome.

Q1: Why is this article about the People's Republic of China?
A1: "China" is overwhelmingly used to refer to the People's
Republic of China rather than the Republic of China in both the Chinese and English languages. For relevant policy details, see WP:COMMONNAME. Q2: Why is the Chinese government not described as "authoritarian" (or by similar terms) in the infobox?
A2: A community consensus was reached which overwhelmingly opposed the inclusion of the term "authoritarian" and similar terms in the infobox (see archived discussion). However, this question may be revisited in the future. |

Include Uyghur genocide in the lead, it is the most notable genocide since the Holocaust
Considering that the Chinese regime is currently committing the largest genocide in the world since the Holocaust, it warrants an inclusion in the lead section as with Nazi Germany. At the end of the third paragraph, it should also include: In addition, genocide, mass murder, and forced labour are hallmarks of the Chinese regime, with its non-Chinese minorities being particularly affected. Since 2014, millions of Uyghurs have been interned and murdered in concentration camps in Xinjiang, known as the Uyghur genocide.

in the country info
Government Unitary Marxist–Leninist one-party socialist republic
would more acuratly be described as
Government Unitary Xi Jinping Thought one-party socialist republic
since Maoism diverges significantly from Marxism-Leninism and Xi Jinping Thought diverges significantly from Maoism TheLPope (talk) 10:05, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

In this phrase:
China received 65.7 million inbound international visitors in 2019
please remove "inbound". If they were "received", they obviously weren't outbound; if they're "visitors", they're obviously not Chinese tourists returning from visits abroad; and "international visitors" makes it clear that they weren't merely received from one part of the country into another. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 02:18, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
