SHANGHAI (Reuters) - The United States should learn from China and “genuinely” protect human rights by restricting gun ownership, an editorial in a widely read state-run Chinese newspaper said on Friday.

The editorial in the Global Times newspaper was published after a massacre at a high school in Florida last week, in which 17 students and staff were killed, reignited a long-running debate about gun control in the United States.

I’ve heard this story before. Give up your guns, said China, we won’t eat you . . .

“But Grandmother! What big teeth you have,” said Little Red Riding Hood her voice quivering slightly. “The better to eat you with, my dear,”

Interesting thought, but it is a certainty that the streets of Beijing and Shanghai and Hong Kong and Shenzhen are safer than the streets of Chicago and Detroit and Denver and Toronto...

Maybe we don’t want the US to be like China, an oppressive communist regime.

FU China, and you can TAKE BACK the thousands of Chinese national human spy drones you’ve planted inside the United States via chain migration, educational/worker visas, and other immigration programs.

Rights? About 5 years ago,while in China,I made the mistake of taking a photo of a policeman in the city of Guangzhou which is a major about an hour north of Hong Kong.

He spotted me and started walking quickly toward me.He grabbed the camera from me,took out the SD card and put it in his pocket.He then smashed it to the ground,sending it into 1,000 pieces.

He then starting talking angrily on his radio and,thinking I might be in serious trouble,I reached for my passport and waved it very nervously in front of him.

To my surprise he turned around and slowly walked away upon seeing it.

Rights? Yah,tell it to the thousands who died in Tienanmen Square...including the guy who stood in front of those tanks.

There is a video I watched from the PRC, of a van hitting and then backing up over and then driving on - from hitting a toddler. The guy realized he’d hit the infant and just decided to ‘make sure.’ It did not stop.
