Tear that country apart anything is better than the current leadership I’m sure. They treat their people like animals.

Ti F me.

That's "F" in "time" for low information voters.

In contrast to certain FReepers’ support for Ukraine and for Russians against Putin, I’m not seeing much support for the Chinese people.

Hypocrisy has deep roots.

So what you are saying is that you need someone to tell you
that folks here don’t support the Chinese leadership.

[Clemenza]

Because there is greater cultural affinity between westerners and Slavs than between westerners and Asians or Africans. As for myself, I hope that we have another Chinese revolution, with the Chicoms getting it in the neck from their subjects, who have suffered enough. And any members of the Chinese elite who wanted to flee here should be turned back.

they are killing us here...

[toddausauras]

Yes! I almost added something about Justine to my post as well. He’s just as bad given the chance.

[Spktyr]

There’s also the fact that China industrially has us by the short and curlies. The only way that anything is ever going to change in China is for things to get so bad there that the people overthrown the government.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Does the Chinese government know something we don’t know?

Hypocrisy has deep roots.

The Chinese people are allowing their elderly to die hungry and alone. They are allowing themselves to be prisoners in their own homes with zero justification. They are allowing the authorities to seize their pets, break them with iron bars until they can only whimper, and sack them up still alive to await pickup like garbage.

No doubt they are relieved that it isn't them and their children going into the sacks with broken spines, this time. But when it goes there eventually, they will cower and hope to be passed by and live another day.

They deserve no respect.

[logi_cal869]

No argument.
