China Uses Coronavirus Crisis to Bulldoze Churches and Temples
Breitbart ^ | 3/25/20 | John Hayward

Religious freedom watchdog groups are accusing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) of using the Wuhan coronavirus epidemic as an opportunity to intensify their crackdown on religion, bulldozing some churches and placing others under heavy surveillance.

“China is now holding itself up as a model for fighting the coronavirus. But fighting the pandemic hasn’t stopped communist officials from persecuting Christians,” Todd Nettleton, a spokesman for the nonprofit group Voice of the Martyrs (VOM), told Fox News on Tuesday.

Another prominent activist, Bob Fu of China Aid, shared a video of Chinese officials demolishing a church in the city of Yixing:

China released this disease to put down dissent and to smack back at the Trump trade deal that kicked them in the shins.

simple as that.

“According to several sources in China, the CCP now grades churches on a 100-point scale of obedience, deducts points for offenses such as improperly-displayed Communist flags and slogans, and shuts houses of worship down if their score falls under 60.”

Didn’t one of the Dem candidates propose social credit scores that were based on what is discussed in the above quote? If so, the above story should be rammed in that person’s and other Dems’ faces.

simple as that.

China also "released" the Bubonic Plague in the 13th-14th century. It made its way from China to Europe and killed 27 MILLION souls.

In my own time China also released the
--Asian flu
--Hong Kong flu
--Swine flu

I lost count after that.

China's own FILTH produced all the filth...a cultural thing. Personally they are as clean as anyone else, but their hotels? restaurants? shops? malls? food markets? EEEEEWwwwwww!

They still use human manure to fertilize their crops.

Don’t you dare forget that the west, particularly the United States, is to blame for all the worlds problems. Never mind the fact that the skies in Beijing are red all day long, and the people there are eating bats that have been crapped on by monkeys that of been crapped on by snakes that have been crapped on by dogs , all served up in a humid open air market with flies by the millions in attendance. What could go wrong?

Why do all the bad viruses start in china. Ebola in Africa, same difference. Open air markets selling who knows what kind of mystery meat thats been sitting out all day waiting for a buyer. And who knows how long its been since the animal was harvested. Bushmeat anyone?

Is it really that hard to figure out? All cultures are not equal,. I spent some time in the Middle East and got to see first hand some markets, and more directly how some people handled their food. There is one occasion that will never leave my mind, and it makes me want to hurl every time, and its been over 20 years

I know what you mean about the Middle East. My husband and I lived in the K.S.A. for five years and we toured over much of the world...especially to places that we KNEW we'd never get to once we returned home to the USA.

All of Europe
much of the Middle East--Syria, Egypt (twice--and once over Christmas), Jordan, Turkey, most of the Kingdom itself
Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica
Asia--Singapore, China, India, Israel, Cyprus
Canada

When we got home we came through LAX and as we left the plane and walked towards the terminal I got down on my HANDS AND KNEES and KISSED the linoleum floor...I was SO glad to back home to the USA for good.

What did Dorothy say at the end of the WIZARD OF OZ?
There is NO place like home!
She got THAT right.

We used to take TWO medicines with us on all our travels:
1. One to stop us up
2. One to loosen us up and "let fly."

:o) My husband called those five years an "adventure of a lifetime." He was SO right.
