The Chinese are vile with no regard for ANY life.
Human, animal, you name.
Research what really happened in Tienneman Square.
Always blames, never them.
The chinese are, in this major sense, Democrats.
#9. Re your “The Chinese are, in this major sense, Democrats” is a prescient “Harbin”-ger of what is to come if the Dems win the presidential election and/or the Senate this November.
