message: On the political agenda, China was once again put on the spotlight for the banning of Falun Gong in 1999. Silent protesters of the spiritual movement sat outside of Zhongnanhai, asking for dialogue with China's leaders. Jiang saw it as threatening to the political monopoly of the Communist Party, and outlawed the group altogether, while using the mass media to denounce it as an evil cult.
Ok, I know there is already a no reference up on this article, but this block of text must be written by a Falun Gong practitioner.  It is bluntly biased against the PRC while putting the Falun Gong in a very favorable light.  24.224.182.97 (talk) 04:12, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I think this article is biased.  The circumstances of 1949 are not penetrated in depth here. I miss the  (huge) role of the USA/CIA, e.g. the fact that the gold reserves of china were stolen and brought to Taiwan, no doubt with CIA direction and criminal complicity (don't call it help).  It is one thing to describe Mao as brutal, but this didn't come from nowhere. Please!  87.78.141.210 (talk) 08:57, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  1949  

message: Just a quick follow up from the previous suggestions. This article is a perfect example of why people are having less and less respect to Wikipedia these days. Misleading and biased articles are destroying Wiki's reputation.
Just a quick point to add. I'm not entirely sold on the idea of putting Republic of China (Taiwan) next to China in the History of China chart. There are intense debates on whether or not Taiwan should be treated as an independent country, and from the majority of the world's, including UN's, perspective, Taiwan belongs to China (People's Republic of China). I'm not trying to bring that argument to this discussion, but putting Republic of China besides People's Republic of China is basically saying Taiwan isn't part of China, which is a false and misleading information. I suggest that before the debate of the independence of Taiwan has settled, put Republic of China (Taiwan) under China in the chart and make a short note on what does it implies.
We have put our suggestions up (for arguments, or agreements), and if the suggestions keep being ignored, we should just go ahead and edit the passages. Someone needs to put a stop on this abusing usage of Wiki, this is becoming ridiculous and shameful.

thread_title:  Articles should be written from a non-biased perspective 

message: The following quote was from the 1976-1989 section of the article
"After the government imposed martial law and sent in military tanks and soldiers to suppress the demonstrations, student protesters were killed and innocent bystanders were run over and crushed to death by tanks while Chinese soldiers fired bullets into crowds of onlookers without provocation in and around the center of Beijing."
It lists no sources or references and the tone of the sentence is extremely biased. Until I see a reliable source for this, I am deleting it.

message: Interesting how the lead of History of Japan mentions the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, and the leads of History of Russia and History of Ukraine mention the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, but neither the lead of this article nor that of History of China mentions COVID.
I mean, I would add it in myself, but I'd like to ask for feedback here since this might be a controversial article. Dennis Dartman (talk) 21:45, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should the lead of this article mention the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]?
