You've got to be kidding me...They live in disgusting conditions, caught a disease, then lied about it to the point that the entire planet now has to deal with it. There is NOTHING good about communist China...NOTHING....

NY Governor Cuomo gave an excellent speech today, good perspective from a government leader. Worth watching if you're having anxiety about COVID or how it's being handled.

I agree with him. Americans are mostly shielded from the truth about the ComChi’s. They have this odd image of cute little smiling people with funny hats.

What the communists have done there make Stalin look like a boy scout. Forced abortions, millions of men in concentration camps undergoing forced re-education, while doing slave labor and their homes occupied by loyal communist soldiers who are taking the place of the husband.

The social point system is truly scary, with everyone being watched constantly and restricted fro traveling or shopping if their social score is too low.

Communism is a veil for totalitarianism.

As for the products we’ve become addicted to, like the phones, is a national disgrace.

That sounds like Stockholm Syndrome to me.....

This is kind of off topic but as a nation we need to discuss how much we want to depend on them for so much. Everything from our debt, to medicine to consumer products. The Chinese govt really is a bad thing....

No, simply pointing out the irony of people *****ing about China, yet the same people are addicted to the cheap products coming out of China.

Most communist defectors don’t speak publicly about how bad it is over there unless you know them personally which is a problem but who can really blame them? Anyone else in that situation would likely fear for the life even here in the US after living through that and understanding the propaganda they had been fed.
