While not insignificant, this story doesn’t hold a candle to CCP defector Dong Jingwei and the US’ DIA.

I’m sure James LeBron will be all over this.

LeBron will say he deserved it, China’s justice system is very fair.

Well, great...That’s just great. Right up there with Ernie Brace, Stockdale and Denton? I don’t think so.

Damn I can see it now he’ll be on all the talk shows and will end up a billionaire after pushing his new diet. Of course it will end badly for he because the Chinese government will have him permanently ‘disappeared’ for stealing their method

So the current generation is surprised that Communist “justice” is a fiction?

We spent the entire 20th century fighting this and worse.

"They do their justice system totally different than we do ours. ... I'm not a fan of it," Harper told the Journal...

The Chinese justice system (which is an oxymoron) is different from ours? Shocking!

I say dam Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, GW Bush and Obama, all of them, for repeating the myth and fiction that economic western engagement with the Communist dictatorship in China would, or ever will, lead to “liberalization” of China in any sphere other than economics. It was never going to happen, has never happened and is not going to happen as long as the dictatorship is in charge.

Anyone want to guess the opening weekend gross for LeBron’s movie opening?

I think the over/under is about $10 million.

The difference may not be what is seems:

“During the length of his detention, Harper never appeared in court and was never formally charged with a crime”

As recently reported in Just the News, not far from the Capitol, 1,500 inmates are confined to prison cells 22 hours a day. Up until a few weeks ago, it was 23 hours a day. Many, if not all, of the inmates who were involved in the January 6 riots have been placed in “restrictive housing” and have been relegated to “maximum-security” conditions.

Jan 6 protesters/trespassers/rioters held in solitary, no bail, some without charges according to Independentsentinel.com

Has the Dong story been verified? I’m seeing an s-load of disinformation. Makes sense,if it is true, it is a nuclear grade setback for the fecal, scumbag, fentanyl pushing, disease spreading execrable chicoms.

For some reason I watched a few minutes of an NBA game last night.

My God, how the quality of play has deteriorated. It was painful to watch.

I satisfied my curiosity.

Deal with the ChiComs at your own peril.

In the 90s, was warned to never trust them. That advice came from a Chinese American who imported computer monitors made there.

When I was overseas in the Navy rule number one was never, ever, under any circumstances, get in a conflict with a native. It never ends well.
