  • I think you are confusing propaganda from the US with numerous investigative reports by reputable journalists and organizations like Amnesty International.

    I trust independent reporters who can verify their sources. This is why I believe China has committed numerous human rights violations. They even self admit executing political prisoners.

    There really is no question about this and denial basically makes a person a useful idiot. I often see dischenfranchised US citizens looking to other fascist countries like Russia or China for answers. I think the song For What It’s Worth about sums it up, “nobody is right if everyone is wrong.”

    I am a social worker by trade and I have spent my life helping people. I have fought long and hard for dischenfranchised people’s rights at steps of my state’s capital building. I helped secured the right to gay marriage in Washington State by lobbying my representatives as just one example.

    I have been involved in local, state, and federal politics. I have conducted numerous letter writing campaigns that have resulted in political prisoners release. I have been a community organizer and I have gotten laws and policies passed in my city to protect people.

    There are so many good ideas out there it isn’t funny. There are numerous right ways to do anything and there are creative solutions we still have yet to think of.


  • But you will trust anything China says when it denies its long history of human rights abuses?

    Something doesn’t add up. I do appreciate your appeal to team human and I agree we can and should do better.

    I have studied human rights abuses for over three decades now. I can confidently say no nation except perhaps in ancient history can compare to the US levels of human destruction. If you count environmental destruction then no country in history can come close.




  • China is the fourth largest producer of arms now and sells weapons to war torn regions. Giving China the benefit of the doubt when they are now cranking out more billionaires than the US is a ship that sailed a long time ago.

    Trumplethinskin, just like Pooh bear, has designs on neighboring countries. Mr. Pooh himself, “Taiwan independence is the chief culprit in undermining peace in the Taiwan Strait - we will absolutely not tolerate or condone it.” Yeah, something an imperialist would say, reminiscemt of Russia and Ukraine.

    Refusal to recognize Taiwan’s unique culture and self-determination is just another nail in a very large coffin of Chinese Imperialism. While I do applaud them for not directly engaging in military conflict there is little reason to when they can control them politically much in the same way the US controls Mexico or Canada.
