The west needs to support a revolution against the CCP

4 ( +5 / -1 )

This is the same China whose Ambassador to the US said on CNN the other day that “there are existing and even mounting restrictions imposed by the United States government against all this free flow of technology and information . . . I think technological progress should benefit everybody, the entire global community, and everybody in every society.” Amazing that the CCP is given an open platform by the Western media to spew garbage, yet at home still they even blocked the US Ambassador to China’s op-ed in a major newspaper just a few months ago for “failing to meet editorial standards lol.

He has a point. The US is in a weak position to criticize others' freedom of speech, when they have essentially outsourced political censorship to tech companies. This sort of hypocrisy is why few people take the US seriously anymore, and it gives ammunition to the Chinese CCP.

And whose fault is that? China has a dictator but no citizen voted for him. America had a dictator for 4 years and nearly half the voters wanted him again.

The real kingmakers in the US politics are the permanent Washington types both on the left and the right..as such the president can never be a dictator, and thanks to him we got to know who actually has the real power in that unique "only" two party democratic ecosystem.

This is the first time I've heard this, but is being gay banned in China? With their policy effectively culling the Chinese female population, there is bound to be male-to-male relationships inevitably.

I am glad to see that there is a distinct percentage of Chinese populace that resists the norms of their constricting regime, albeit small. It all comes to awareness.

You should maybe look up the word "dictator." Dictators don't lose elections.

Only if their first coup and insurrection is successful while claiming they didn't lose the election.

China is gonna "China". It's what they do. Now that they are the second largest economy in the world, nobody can stop them. Maybe outsourcing everything to them in the race to bottom for the highest profits to those at the top, wasn't such a great idea. Too late now.

But they often do claim that they didn't and then eventually resort to using force. Trump was a wannabee one, a 100 yen shop version.

That's what dictators say! Hence, a certain trial is happening right now.

China will ban it. Then they will prop up some Chinese based company, so they can ease drop and spy on people like all other technology coming out of China!
