Spot the difference

I like how the photographer still has an angle on his head

Nice.
Photographer:Man, why did I pick up my telescopic camera instead of my sniper.

Is this one of those brain games where you have to find 6 differences between the two drawings? Let's see

Where are the Epstein files?

Don't forget brave, you can really see the courage

The Uyghurs have entered the chat

They quite literally have, the people in the bottom photo smiling with Xi are Uyghur, you can tell by the doppa hats and architecture. I recommend looking more into the situation in Xinjiang. The best and most comprehensive resource I have seen so far is Qiao Collective's Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation. Qiao Collective is explicitly pro-PRC, but this is an extremely comprehensive write-up of the entire background of the events, the timeline of reports, and real and fake claims.
I also recommend reading the UN report and China's response to it. These are the most relevant accusations and responses without delving into straight up fantasy like Adrian Zenz, professional propagandist for the Victims of Communism Foundation, does.
Tourists also go to Xinjiang all the time. You can watch videos like this one on YouTube, though it obviously isn't going to be a comprehensive view of a complex situation like this.

One's on a stage, the other is staged

Is there any proof that Xi's photo is staged, or are you just assuming people don't like him? He has overwhelmingly high approval rates in China, upwards of 95%, so it wouldn't make sense that they would stage such a photo beyond how they frame it (as all political pictures would have).
- Exactly. Trump has supporters. Putin has supporters. Modi has supporters. Why wouldn't Xi? The people that dislike him might not want to sit down with him, that doesnt make it staged.
- Source: it is known
- Any photo like that from any significant nation is, on some level, staged.
- I literelly don't know which "side is right" in this argument. In a country where there is propaganda and social media is strictly moderated by the government and not a lot of independent journalism (like YouTube or blogs even get pressured to shut down) and which has a social score controlling your life and thougs - how would one make a actually independent and fair survey? There is no democracy, so why turn against it if you have no way of changing it?
  Of cause we are a bit brainwashed by the west and Chinas enemies and I think trump helped a lot to remove the elusion of a "good and strong america". But it still feels like the people are more free in the west, we have democracy and solid education and independent social media and journalism which is very important to me.
  And its very impressive what China achieved in the short amount of time, compared to the west, industrially speaking. But socially (like what the government does) I really would not want to live there at all.
  I feel like many people here on Lemmy have just the same black and white thinking of "china good, murica bad", which is maybe just as delusional as all the MAGA idiots.
  Plus there are many other western countries that are quite solid and doing well mostly, which often get overlooked in this debate
  Any thoughts?
much cope, such wow

The Authoritarian on the bottom appears to be Chinese, while the Authoritarian on the top appears to be an Oompa Loompa.

bedtime is tankie
Calling a state "authoritarian" is a childish distraction. All states rule through a monopoly on violence and the only difference is which class they're pointing the guns for. Western "democracies" serve the capital owning class. Meanwhile, so-called "authoritarian" states like China, direct state power toward working-class interests, which is why leaders like Xi actually enjoy popular support instead of mass discontent.
The binary is a fantasy. The only real question is: who does the state work for?
- I can tell you're an authoritarian because you don't believe in the rule of law.
Is there a "non-authoritarian" head of state, in your views? Does it matter at all if said state is capitalist or socialist, or do you see no relevant distinctions between the two modes of production?

Don’t be naive.

^{no\ u}

Heaven forbid that women decide to exist..
- Like fuck the third image is clearly not the same person, people are so fucking dumb jesus christ
Someone else already pointed out that you confused different women for the same person, but the man is different too. The top picture in OP's post is Donald Trump, the USA guy. In a closer photo he looks completely different to Putin.
Could you explain why youre sharing this image here?
- I think they're alluding to the idea that xi's picture with the uyghurs is a fabrication, like the blonde lady is a paid extra to make putin appear friendlier to women or something
- I think showing another way of being safe, no strangers around you.

Ji had the families of everyone in the picture held as hostages to their good behaviour.
Reddit-ass comment.
China doesn’t allow private gun ownership
Lol America keeps saying gun control doesn't work because criminals will get guns anyway but now this?

This is the kind of accusation where you either give a reading list of primary evidence or you shut the fuck up.
muh freedoms 🔫

- Oh no, did that guy just express the slightest form of critisism? How dare they!
