Ex-Political Prisoner at RNC: Chinese Communists an ‘Enemy of Humanity’
Breitbart ^ | 26 Aug 2020 | FRANCES MARTEL

Chen Guangcheng, a dissident who spent seven years imprisoned in China, told the Republican National Convention (RNC) Wednesday the Communist Party was an “enemy of humanity.”

Chen, a blind self-taught legal scholar from a rural community, spent those years in both prison and house arrest after police detained him for his advocacy against forced abortions, a common policy under China’s “one-child” rule that prevented families from birthing siblings. Currently, due to a precipitous decline in population, China has expanded that policy to two children but is still believed to force women to kill illegal unborn children.

In his address Wednesday, Chen expressed gratitude to America for granting him and his family a chance to build a life free of authoritarianism.

“Standing up to tyranny is not easy. I know. When I spoke out against China’s ‘one-child’ policy and other injustices, I was persecuted, beaten, sent to prison and put under house arrest by the Chinese Communist Party,” Chen noted. “In April 2012, I escaped and was given shelter in the American embassy in Beijing. I am forever grateful to the American people for welcoming me and my family to the United States where we are now free.”

“The CCP is an enemy of humanity. It is terrorizing its own people and it is threatening the well-being of the world,” Chen affirmed. “In China, expressing beliefs or ideas not approved by the CCP – religion, democracy, human rights – can lead to prison. The nation lives under mass surveillance and censorship.”

Investigations by monitor groups, human rights organizations, and media outlets have confirmed the existence of over 1,000 concentration camps in western Xinjiang province housing between 1 and 3 million people belonging to the Uyghur ethnic minority, as well as other Muslim ethnic minorities...

Bump this again and again. If you think the USSR was bad, the CCP is infinity more dangerous to our way of life.

Print this up and get this out there in your precincts

There seems to be a refusal in certain political circles known as the Swamp to blame the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) for deliberately using the Wuhan virus to create an economy here which would prevent Trump get reelected. Letting that happen will create problems we don’t need. Time we point out the loss of employment and the corruption involved.

I apologize for any confusion. The other posters are correct. I think the man is very special and I sat in awe of him as I imagined what his life has been like and where he is right now.
