The ruling politburo has utilised a system of "black jails" into which tens of thousands have disappeared. Detainees in this state-run system of incarceration undergo "residential surveillance at designated locations". When one arrives at such a location they are told "you are now under RSDL" but at least they are offered "one right".

Detainees in this state-run system of incarceration undergo "residential surveillance at designated locations". When one arrives at such a location they are told "you are now under RSDL" but at least they are offered "one right".
After being greeted on arrival, detainees are then informed, "your only right is to obey".
To add to the crack-down on dissent Beijing sent a stern warning to any foreign athletes who may wish to make a political statement during next month's Winter Olympics.
The politburo were vague about the consequences, they only stated offending athletes would be subject to "certain punishment", and left the rest to our collective imagination.
Many key agitators against the rule of the current regime are beginning to disappear.
Human rights lawyer Xie Yang was first sucked into China's programme of mass disappearances in 2015.
After his release, he told of the horrors he encountered during months of incarceration within a clandestine "black jail" network.
The lawyer used to tell friends: "Don't let silence become a habit."
He only "earned" his release from state custody after admitting on video that he was "brainwashed overseas" and by denying his previous claims of mistreatment.
However, this month he was abducted again from his home in the southern province of Hunan.
This time under the charge of "inciting subversion of state power".

“ they only stated offending athletes would be subject to “certain punishment”
Anyone remember the “Bodies” exhibit from a few years back? They all looked like otherwise healthy young Asian men. I’m sure that was just a coincidence.
Athletes would be crazy to go to the Olympics. China doesn’t care how it looks. China will do whatever it wants, because it’s probably the most powerful country in the world right now. They’ve bought and paid for our leaders fair and square.
How are Olympics visitors going to get around that?
They won’t. Most of the events are only allowing a small number of spectators. The NBC broadcast team is doing its thing from Bristol CT, except Mike Tirico is going for the opening ceremony. He is coming back stateside for the Superbowl as previously planned.
I watched a video yesterday by an guy who lived in China for a couple of years. He said ALL FOREIGNERS must report to the local police and one officer is assigned to monitor them at all times. Apartment and hotel operators are required by law to assist in monitoring to comings and goings of foreigners.
China says all athletes MUST INSTALL the CHICOM Olympic app on their phones. Of course it is spy/surveillance sw. US recommending athletes only bring burner phones.
Guess the policy of trade opening with China really worked out in getting them to abandon their Communist police state ways, huh?
“Guess the policy of trade opening with China really worked out in getting them to abandon their Communist police state ways, huh?”
I also remember the GOP Foreign Policy experts making that exact claim.
...and then they bitched because Trump didn’t want their advice.
Any gathering in China is a super-spreader event, where the Chinese can release their latest version of whatever disease they have ready to go. It’s a mistake to send large groups of healthy young Americans there. Better to send politicians and other professional sex-workers, such as media types. Then quarantine them when they try to return to America.
Actually China is a totalitarian state rising to great power utilizing a capitalist model of commerce. They were less dangerous when they were simply a totalitarian communist state.
The closest definition of China is the classic Fascist State.
If every American family would spend $20/month less on Chinese goods, it would cost them over $25 billion/year, and help to sink their already fragile, debt-ridden, system. $20/week would be better, as would the participation of others around the world concerned about human rights and China’s aggression.
Yeah. I agree.
After seeing what happened in Central America with the idiotic socialist rebellions, I decided it would be better to let them go Communist. After a decade or so of that, they would become utterly powerless as their economies collapse, and after a few decades they would eventually buck the parasites off in yet another revolution.
The only problem with this strategy is the outflow of people trying to escape their madness. They all want to come here. Better to just run guns to them to make life miserable for the Commie overlords, like Reagan did with the Contras and Eden Pastora.
When you check into a hotel they take your passport.
The only way I will have anything to do with the olympics is if is on a television in a place that I am eating or drinking in, and even then I will lobby to get them to change the channel. I will not click a link or anything and if I seek any information like if someone dies of a vaccine related athletic complication it will be from someone else’s discarded newspaper.
