The speed with which this response was made is telling. On a comment and thread many hours old. Your initial comment was at 1am Central Time. Within minutes of this comment, at 9am Central time you responded. These are clear indications of a monitored account.

In many other of “your” comments it’s been pointed out that your statements are incorrect, and provably false. At that point it goes from opinion to misinformation, and propaganda.

One cannot pretend that China is not a totalitarian system built, with clear and consistent human rights violations. Where those who oppose the party line disappear. Contrast that with the US, where a former president is in a very public and contentious court case, with open coverage.

Totalitarian regimes such as China and Russia view democracy and freedom of speech as a weakness to be exploited. What they fail to realize is that truth wins out. You can only lie for so long before you run smack into the truth of matters.

Until and if China ever embraces the UN declaration of human rights, including the ratification of the ICCPR, its intentions are clear. China specifically believes that maintaining the party stranglehold on the country trumps the notion of universal human rights.

And please don’t reply trying to obfuscate the issues, throw other propaganda, or whatabout’isms around.

The support of a government clearly in direct opposition to freedom of speech, human rights, and democratic institutions cannot be supported in any society that values freedom and democracy.
