China blames US gun policies for global violence, says America exports ‘woes and instability’
Fox News ^ | 2/23/2023 | Peter Kasperowicz

America’s "loose management" of firearms is creating a "recurring nightmare" of domestic gun violence that is now spilling into other countries as U.S.-made weapons and ammunition are increasingly finding their way into the wrong hands, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Thursday.

Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for the ministry, lamented that at a United Nations meeting last week, the U.S. opposed a Chinese proposal to block transfers of ammunition to non-state actors. He then argued that America’s tolerance for guns is creating violence around the globe.

"Gun violence has become a recurring nightmare for the American people," Wang said. The U.S.’s loose management of small arms and light weapons and ammunition, massive weapons export and persistent transfer of military articles to non-state actors are equally worrying."

"A lot of the ammunition from the U.S. have become untraceable and even ended up in the hands of terrorist and extremist groups, posing a grave threat to regional and international peace and stability," he added.

Wang said gun violence is increasingly America’s main export to the world.

Eventually the Chinese will miscalculate and they will see what real violence looks like in the South China Sea.

Our attack subs and strategic stealth will lay waste to the Chinese Fleet. They will be humiliated.

Hey, China! Quit your bitching and stop your flow of fentanyl and then maybe you’d have some credibility. Until then, STFU.

CCP is anxious to disarm the citizens of the US

They are probably thinking of a future scenario when a Rat or Rino regime issues the formal surrender.

So say the people who shoot young girls in the back of their head with a rifle for trying to exercise free speech.

This, from one of the countries the US can’t import ammo from?

There are US made AKs, due to import restrictions. The Russians are making them here, as well as some homegrown stuff.

I did not know that, I would have thought that the AK platform was considered so EVIL by the libs that no one in the USA would be allowed to manufacture such an EVIL KILLER MONSTER ASSAULT RIFLE, that can shoot a hundred billion bullets a second and is capable of shooting nuclear weapons when it sneaks out at night to murder innocent women, children, and students.

(I beg your pardon, that was one hell of a run on sentence)

The US market for AKs is pretty much insatiable. Bulgaria and Russia are making them here, or importing what they can, and modifying them.

Our “free” market couldn’t produce an AK at the price point of imports. Now, with imports drying up, we’re getting into the market. It was shaky, at first. Some guns could be counted on for about 1500 rounds, and then became dangerous.

Lots of parts kits were imported, and can be built here, on American receivers. Also, a lot of Romanian and Polish rifles that the CCCP had contracted for Iraq were captured, cut to pieces, and imported, post WOT. For a price, you can build, or have built, what are essentially Cold War AKs.
