Thomas Friedman overlooked accusations of genocide because China has high-speed trains
China is a much better place than America despite those pesky accusations of genocide against Uighurs, according to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman.
A formal legal opinion recently published in the United Kingdom and cited by the BBC on Sunday concluded that here is a "very credible case" that China is carrying out genocide against Uighurs," but Friedman feels the communist nation is much better off than the United States anyway.
Friedman appeared on CNN’s "Cuomo Prime Time" on Monday night to declare that China has luxurious high-speed trains because they don’t have to worry about people like former President Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. The Times columnist said the GOP "sold their soul" to Trump and essentially claimed the United States would have better methods of mass transportation if it followed in China’s footsteps.
"Do you know that it takes four hours and 18 minutes to take the Bullet Train from Beijing to Shanghai? And it takes 21 hours to take the train from New York to Chicago and they’re both about the same distance," Freidman told Chris Cuomo, who nodded along to his every word, in a clip flagged by Mediaite.
"I'll tell you something they weren’t thinking about in China this week. They weren’t thinking about some knucklehead. They weren’t spending the week thinking about a knucklehead who claimed 9/11 didn’t happen. They weren’t thinking about some guy who is a QAnon shaman," Freidman continued. "They were probably thinking about some bad stuff with the Uighurs and all of that, oh, for sure, but I guarantee you they weren’t wasting their time on this nonsense."
The left-wing Cuomo didn’t ask a follow-up on the "bad stuff with the Uighurs,"

Good old Tom.
Arguing for dictators.
Thanks! I’m trying!
Need help getting into the cab? How about airfare, you good with that?
You mean like exterminating minorities?
So, what was the problem with Pinochet again . . . ?

wait so keeping people in cages is cool now
“why are they always so obsessed with trains ?”
Yeah. It’s not like they take them.
It maybe they do or did.
These guys in the east think it’s all about them and how they live.
“Meh, nobody cares about Jews. Look at the snazzy uniforms the Nazis are wearing.”

China is putting Muslims into concentration camps. Who would have thought liberals would refuse to condemn that just a few short years ago?
I wonder is the Chinese are going to allow transgender “women” to compete in women’s sports in the 2022 Olympics.
My guess—they will not—and then the leftists will have to choose between their two pet causes—China and perversion.
Trump was called racist for trying to slow the flow of jihadis into this country. The chicoms are praised for killing muslims.
Thanks!
Appalling article.
One thing I think is very funny is the liberal’s love of Chinese “efficiency,” for example, in this case referring to their high speed trains. The reason is very simple: China doesn’t have to worry about any restrictions on their building projects, their rail, manufacturing, oil, etc. because they have the worst environmental record on the planet. The greenies love them yet they pollute and destroy in just about every way conceivable, and even the air in most Chinese cities is literally toxic.
But it’s different when Communists do it. Then it’s okay.
Well, the NYT *does* have a history of covering-up socialist genocides for the purpose of promoting the heaven-on-earth paradise that is a socialist country. Wouldn’t want people’s dreams of paradise marred by little things like mass murder.
New York Times columnist dismisses ‘bad stuff with the Uighurs,’ says America should be more like China
Inch by inch slowly we become CHINESE. Hell we already have a high level Chinese spy in the White House. I think his name is biden.
And pollution, they don't pollulte
It's a great wall too, if you can see it.
