    I may not like many of what I know of China’s policies (genocide, suppression of free speech etc.), but this is one of the things they have done well.

      The only genocide that’s being committed today is the one that’s happening in Gaza with the direct involvement of western regimes. Full stop.

        ¿por que no lo dos?

        Both are terrible. But in the light of the absolute state of the world, China’s a much lesser evil.

          you have to laugh at the absurdity of the pot calling the kettle black when it comes to genocide & suppression; especially so when the american pot is SO MUCH blacker than the chinese kettle.

          and laughing becomes a coping strategy when an overwhelming majority of americans and other westerners have swallowed so much propaganda that they willfully & sometimes violently remain ignorant of it.
