  1. It’s so discouraging. I’m married to a Chinese lady. She is relentless, with her distaste, for people of colour. It’s completely ignorant, and ingrained. Yet she is proud to be with a white guy. I’m feeling like you, just about done with it.

  2.  @dulcebelluminexpertis4147 What??? Human rights abuse is terrible. The same mentality that can abuse animals, is also horrible. They both illustrate, the same disregard for others. Powerless people, inflicting their pain on others.
    153
  3. Taiwan, is a high trust society. It’s awesome. As the whole world goes into a deeper recession. This problem, of illegal border crossings, is only going to get worse.

  4. Why wouldn’t they? Have you heard of fentanyl, and TikTok?
    124
  5. Have you been to Burundi? We have been invited to a wedding there. Which sound amazing. But looking up the stats on Wikipedia, was shocking. $294/yr average income, least happy African country, deforested, corruption, etc. I’m looking for an outsider’s impression, of travel, safety, food, etc there.

  6. My Chinese born wife, shocks me quite often. With her lack of regard, for others. After my elderly mother died. She insisted many times, that I no longer had, to look after my stepdad.

  7. Thank you. They are also buying, all the rental property. I work in 14 Vancouver apartment buildings. 13 are Chinese owned. How do we turn this around?
    33
  8.  @gemox3225  I’m Canadian, married to a mainlander, 14 years here. She is so jaded, she thinks all governments talk crap. But then defends the Chinese government “facts”. I say, when all the information goes through the ministry of truth, it’s all garbage. She doesn’t see the difference.

  9. Burning all the worlds coal.
    28
  10. She didn’t help for money. She helped, for respect of others, community, and herself. To honour her, pass it on. Do good deeds, for others. And say, pass it forward, when you do.
    24
  11.  @lefermier10 As a foreigner in China, it’s all politics. As a Chinese in China, it’s not a choice.
    24
  12. Stay awesome Taiwan. In Serbia, they have built coal power plants. It went from beautiful and clean. To, the sky don’t lie.
    23
  13.  @AlmostAeroGauge  My point was. It’s not ok, to dislike someone, you’ve never met. Because they are of, a darker complexion, than yourself.
    21
  14.  @johnlo5687  Is there a reason, he can’t tell us, about his experience? No there isn’t. That the beauty, of living in a free country.
    19
  15. You could be talking about Taiwan. It is a high trust society, as well. Why, China want's to destroy it, is so stupid. It is a shining example, of what China could be.
    18
  16. Thank you, for what you do. Stay awesome, like Taiwan.
    17
  17.  @alu1706  It can be quite the rabbit hole. Two weeks before my 60th birthday. My Chinese wife asked what I want. I said, no gifts, no party, just some close time with you. What ever you are comfortable with, in an intimate, romantic, possibly sexy kind of way. A few days later she asked, “no really, what do you want”? It didn’t happen. But I did take her, to the mountains, and an air BNB, for her birthday. Of course, she was still entitled, to complain about it, afterwards. Same with other holidays.
    16
  18. He is doing his best. The rest is up to us. Message your politicians.
    15
  19.  @mattgairns7565  He is telling like it is. If you can’t debate problems. How can they ever improve.
    15
  20. I’m sure the Tibetan’s, Hong konger’s and Mongolians, enjoy being occupied. Nice to hear, an English speaker say Z-ed.
    13
  21. Go NBA!! Grovelling, for a few extra bucks. Mao, Hitler, Stalin, would’ve loved you guys.
    12
  22.  @xavdeman  Better from over here. Where they can warn us, and be proactive. Back home, it's full on surveillance.
    12
  23.  @wizedoggfc Some people do use vpn’s. The more they see the outside world, the better. The more we can be friends, the better.
    11
  24. Yes, I had the same experience. They are grounded, it’s a high trust society. I’ve been to Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and other Asian countries.
    11
  25. A timely topic. Just the other day, driving past the “sky train” station, in Vancouver. My Chinese born wife said, “when I came here, transit payment, was on the honour system” “Now it isn’t, did we do that”? She wasn’t born, under Mao. But her parents were. So you get another generation, that is angry, and messed up. Many chinese families, are still very fractured.
    11
  26. Calling it like it is, The greed=religion comment, is hopefully not true with all, but way too many. It is a problem. But by saying it, you put a target on your back. There is so little room, to debate issues, with mainlanders. I work at rental property building maintenance, in Vancouver. Most of the owners are Chinese. They seem to only see the numbers. Make tenant pay!!
    10
  27. My Chinese born wife, does therapy work with Chinese people. They are a very broken, bunch of people. Hiding behind, the facade of, “Chinese are close supportive family”.
    10
  28. Then they say, big foreigner guy do it like us.

  29.  @limondorn1494  I'll trade you two Chinese, for a Cuban.

  30.  @harrysmith8515  In Canada, and elsewhere, we are printing like mad too. The CCP virus, has accelerated, the already in place trend.

  31.  @veganjem  I'm sure TCM has wonderful wisdom, in it. But the use of endangered species, completely negates it, in my estimation.
    8
  32. Has that situation, improved?
    8
  33.  @Micfri300  It isn’t specific at all. As far as I can tell. She only says something, when they are darker than herself. Tho, any one south Asian, gets extra mention.
    8
  34. Rare? Most men, like most women, have compassion for others. We don’t know, that we have any tools. To make as much difference, as Winston does.
    8
  35. An award, for stealing someone else’s work. Says it all. So proud.
    7
  36. True beauty, is in the eyes, the soul.
    7
  37. They have promised to increase coal burning till 2026. They also build coal power plants, in other countries, like Serbia.
    7
  38. We buy their disposable junk, they buy our land. Fair deal? The quiet invasion.  @tactiti0n 
    7
  39. Having Chinese family. Who, do not take inquiring conversation well. I really appreciate, your honest sharing of experience. Be safe, you are a gem, shining in the darkness.
    7
  40.  @americanfreedomworldpeace  The difference I found, is. In China, they are reminded of perceived insults against them. Deflecting, from the current 70 years of humiliation. While in Vietnam, a country that has been repeatedly occupied, or attacked. Doesn't cling to old grudges. The people are proud, open, and friendly. They may not like their government. But at least, it's their own people.
    6
  41.  @tennishistoryandresultsdat4540  Sound’s like, strategy #1, deflection.
    6
  42.  Zack Smith  No haters here. China and it’s people, are mostly great. It’s the government, we don’t like. It is causing trouble, at home, and abroad. We can talk about green tech. When China stops burning, all the worlds coal.

  43. Taiwan, stay awesome.

  44.  @ucanhvungoc7133  You know it. I’m already in trouble, for not buying a house.

  45. Paul C Haha, if my Chinese wife got a ticket. She would be so mad. That next time she would be out at 2am. And pick every dammm one.
    5
  46. It’s (not) funny. How these people, who have full control, of their surroundings. When it’s all about, covering their own internal, feeling of failure. They are monsters, to anyone, that doesn’t stay in line.
    5
  47.  @Brad_A  That’s a tough call. We want to be fair, while at the same time. The CCP makes such an effort to influence other countries media, politics, military, business. You don’t know, who you are including.
    4
  48.  @bluehotdog2610  Discrimination is not ok. My Chinese relatives, are more racist, than anyone iv'e ever met.
    4
  49. My wife was from Beijing, 14 years ago. She wanted to get away from the politics. Yet, when my stepson, and I, told her of the different federal parties. She voted conservative, in the recent Canadian election. Because the Chinese wechat group said so. Has no patience for, the Hong Kong protests, or for people of colour. I’m frequently baffled, that she wants to be seen as Canadian, but says she can’t give up the “hive mind”.

  50. Good luck, with your future. I’m older, so also feel responsible. The problem with these videos, is they just don’t get coverage. Talk to your politicians, business leaders, church, friends.
    4
  51.  @rubberduckie5518  There are so few people, casting light, on this darkness. It’ll only get worse, if we don’t speak up.

  52. Freedom, is to vote for who you think is best, for the country. Then for all to accept, the choice. With “constructive” criticism. Good for you, good for us.
    4
  53. I appreciate your coverage of China. My Chinese wife, and step son, only know, a few small areas, and what the ministry of truth, puts out.
    4
  54.  @jogreen12  Hi Jo, Thailand, Bali, Vietnam, if you stay away from the "most popular" areas. In the more rural areas, the people are great. Taiwan is not over run with tourists. So what you experience, represents the place. The markets, temples, walking the streets, in and around Taipei is great. The islands in the Philippines, the villagers are poor, but very friendly. You can go on forever there, exploring beaches.
    4
  55. Even if a food company is totally legit. You’re still dealing with polluted air water and soil.
    4
  56. We are visiting Thailand, right now. I’m agnostic as far as religion goes. It seems like, intellectual suicide. But here in Thailand, the Buddhist faith, has made for a very polite, and considerate people. It’s a positive influence.
    3
  57. Taiwan, stay awesome.
    3
  58. Do they think they have been let down. Or do they buy into the greatness of the government? My Chinese wife, and step son, will not tolerate any criticism of the CCP.
    3
  59.  @bluehotdog2610  Of course, excluding based on ethnicity, is wrong. I'm just saying, the CCP has put a lot of effort, into placing their people, in influential places, in the west. While, we if in China, would never get near to promoting a balanced narrative. Their own people, only hear the govt messaging. So, what is the way to deal with them? We have TicToc, WeChat, other Chinese media. Do they allow, YouTube, ect, no.
    2
  60.  @zoltanrudolf  Nice deflection, the topic was China. With limits, to reporting casualties.
    2
  61.  @holysnyper  me too, I don’t know what that means.
    2
  62. Your viewers always need to be reminded, that you love the country. That’s why you do, what you do.
    2
  63. It’s like, they are going to cut back, on the coal burning, by 2060. That is suicide. What are these people thinking?? They could have developed, responsibility.
    2
  64.  @J_X999  Other than buying a lot from other countries. I don’t know production figures. My comment, was referring to, that China burns the most coal, of any country. While building more coal fired plants, at home, and abroad.
    2
  65.  @J_X999  The west, went through the industrial revolution, colonizing. We made those mistakes, we have learned, are correcting those errors. China has industrialized, in modern times. So they have had the benefit, of example. How to industrialize, in a more sustainable way. Or, how to do it, cheap fast and nasty. To all our peril.
    2
  66. I’m not being critical of having a gun. But does it help, when they say, we have your daughter. Now do what we want. Good, we will release her, but we know where all your family members live, and work, etc? Apparently, this is the approach to the protests, now that they have Chinese surveillance equipment. Or have I heard wrong?

  67.  @tylerrobbins8311  Iv'e seen that story, it's a good one.

  68.  @jacksonchen1482  It’s not so easy. Twice I’ve chosen, wounded souls, with family trauma. That they never get over. My first wife, 25 years of marriage. She was my best friend, we did so many things together. On our wedding day, said. sex? We’re not like the others, we don’t have to do that. My anxiety got so bad, she eventually divorced me. Second one, it’s been 11 years. Same but different. At 62, without a pension to look forward to. I’m worried about two things. Loss of finances, in separation, and making a similar choice again.
    2
  69.  @bluehotdog2610  True, but we have to start somewhere. I’m not keen on state sanctioned, summer camp, or organ donor.
    2
  70. Like Taiwan, stay awesome.
    2
  71. We need to take our democracy, more seriously. Like debating, real long term issues. Especially the ones, that are difficult. Get humanitarian minded/small business people in office, rather than more lawyers.
    2
  72.  @jameseverett4976  Time alone, in the woods, bliss. If my knees give out, shoot me.
    2
  73.  @jameseverett4976  Thanks, I’m not here for sympathy. (I hope) Sometimes it just feels good to let it out. My stepson, and kids from before, are on their own now. All great kids, I’m happy to be involved. It’s the money, I’m over 60, and self employed. So being able to work less. To have personal friend and family time, on weekends or more, is pretty sweet. I hope you are healthy, get some peace, and satisfaction in your life.
    2
  74. Democracy is suffering. The political extremes, left and right, are too easy to manipulate. While the rich, and big business interests, are running the show. The middle class, needs to relearn how to work together, and be represented.
    2
  75. The desperation, of young women selling themselves, is tragic. Humiliating them, is just nasty.

  76. He is talking about, how china is f-ing with us. Also, sometimes an outside perspective is valuable. He is right, a great country can bring itself down, with infighting.

  78. I fell for it. Answered a personal add, for travel companion. Travelled, moved in, married, raised stepson. Still pay for everything, she wants a house. I’m still lonely. It’s called marriage.

  79. Thank you, for reporting on what is happening. So few, have the access, the credibility, and the courage.
    2
  80. You cover such important topics, and there are seven of us watching. Aaaaarrgghh!!! Get the word out, people. It’s everyone’s future.
    2
  81. With the air pollution, and increased coal burning. The soil likely has a lot of lead and arsenic. They had leaded fuel not too long ago too.
    2
  82. It’s like, my parents grew up on simple farms. Where you work hard, but people were good, the land, and food, was clean. China was a rural agrarian society. It could have carried on like that for centuries. But in the madd drive to modernize. They are burning the worlds coal, polluting rivers like crazy, catching all the fish. Starting an arms race. Like this, we all won’t last. There is definitely something beautiful, about simpler ways.
    2
  83. Around Vancouver, we have a lot of this generation immigrants, from China and India. Both come from huge population countries. Both make good neighbours. I worry about the Chinese. Because I don’t know, how many of them, are beholden to CCP propaganda. A group that wants to control the world, at any cost, to “foreigners”. (Older immigrants, are not an issue, they are us)
    2
  84. Encouraging fringe groups, and cultures, to express themselves. Makes the dominant culture, less heavy, adds life, and colour to a society. If we lose the Tibetan culture, the human world will be much diminished.
    2
  85. A proud Olympic tradition. 1936 2022

  86. This is an example of why we must preserve, and visit, support Taiwan. They are not like that. They had their difficulties. But never suffered the indignity of Mao’s four olds, and his successors.

  87. I hear, organ transplants are cheap there.

  88. You know the facts. Taiwan is awesome.

  97. That is the only advantage, of their king of governance. In Canada, it takes years of consultation, and legal battles, to build a small piece of transit line. It is frustrating, doing it the right way.

  98. Please spread the word, before it’s too late. My wife is 14 years in Canada. She loves to be in nature. But, wants to take anything she can, and tells her friends. We argue about it every time.

  106. China be awesome, like Taiwan.

  107. This, never giving credit, to outsiders, for anything. Do any Chinese people know, that the western allies liberated them from the Japanese. Without then keeping, what was liberated. Actually allowing the Chinese people, a chance of their own freedom.

  108.  @davidgretzschelcommunicati1630  Most of the world’s, steel and metals production is in China. They still control, the market for rare earth magnets. You can’t fight a war without those things. We need to bring it all home. But even if we were focused on that task, it would take years.

  109. Give that man a forum, to speak out. We need to hear it from, someone who knows, and was there.

  110. Hey!! Whites are from everywhere too. Only natives, are “Native North American “. Gentle reminder, aside. Whining? Having had more than a generation of prosperity. Many of us, have forgotten, how to work for everything we have, or want. Don’t appreciate the social safety nets. I work in apartment buildings. Last week a young lady claimed to have PTSD, because she saw a mouse, in her place. My “favourite “ are the young white guys. Who feel entitled to sit and play video games, and never grow up.
    1
  111.  @theoneandonlypinkypinky8245  You are right, it isn’t fair, for the regular Chinese people. How else, can we make life difficult, for the criminals running the country? If we send money to China, some of it goes to a military, that is threatening, the whole world. Sending our money says, occupying Tibet is ok. Etc.
    1
  112.  @linlima5975  How do you get facts. When the Chinese government, only tells good news about itself, and bad news about others. That makes them illegitimate. (I have been to China, and have Chinese family).
    1
  113. Martin, we would like to hear your stories. Otherwise, they don’t get told. And the rest of us, only hear the propaganda side of things.

  114.  @linlima5975  Life may be good for you. But, ask a Tibetan, if they are enjoying the occupation.
    1
  115. Lin, Lets say it's your opinion, vs my opinion, and of no value. First remember, my comments are not against the Chinese people, but about the government. For a valid answer to this discussion. How about you and I. Go to the source, and ask an ethnic Tibetan, Uighur, Mongolian, or even a citizen of Hong Kong. How they feel, about the CCP. Or even, people from the countries, that China is having border disputes with right now. What they have to say. Will it be similar, to what is reported in the Chinese media? If you haven't done this, please don't respond.

  116. Just little cultural differences. When the aunts, and uncle's come for dinner. I cant stand all the throat clearing, coughing, snorting, belching, slurping. Drives me crazy. (especially the ones, that want you to pay for everything, and to be driven around, even though they are living on rent, from their properties)
    1
  117. Stay awesome, like Taiwan.

  118. They cornered the rare earth market. By not containing the pollution created, in the processing. Now we are reliant on China, for these critical metals. Same with so many other things, like medical supplies and drugs.
    1
  119. So, how does the message of free debate, and inquiry gain traction? My wife and stepson moved from China 14 years ago. They can only sing the praises, of the wonderful CCP. Anything can be overlooked, because of the,“universal“ prosperity. My assertion is, if the CCP was so great. They had a chance to industrialize, in a greener, cleaner, more fair manner. That avoids most of the mistakes of other countries. They did the opposite.
    1
  120.  StrategicFooyoo  Hi, my point was, we know better now. Western economies modernized, when we knew less about, destroying rivers, the air, and other cultures. China is doing this in modern times. There is no excuse for destroying the planet, for a few bucks. 500 more coal burning plants are up for development, in China. Is it truly a modern country, if they can do organ harvesting, on groups they don’t like? Fish everyone else’s seas, because you polluted yours? And you go to jail, if you discuss these things? A legal system with no due process.
    1
  121. I get a kick out of people saying, revolution is coming. Not anytime soon. The average Chinese citizen, keeps their head down, as a survival tactic. They are also afraid of the chaos of a break up. We need to spread the word in the west, to avoid joining the non Han fate. I’m not keen on mandatory summer camp.
    1
  122.  @moneypenny5436 Yes, they don’t function as intended. For those who need help. There’s one near me, in Vancouver. The older Chinese ladies, line up around the block with their carts. Seeing that, I lose my desire to volunteer, or donate to any food banks.

  125. This is something, I am frustrated about. With my Chinese family, and many who have recently decided to emigrate. Respect is expected, but not easily given. The chat is funny. There are many here arguing, the degree of how nasty Mao was. Are there degrees, of worst person ever?

  126. XXX who are your people?

  127. She looks like, one of these people. Who have complete control, of their surroundings. All to cover, their own insecurity. The people around them, are only tools, to create the fantasy. It is not a nice, or healthy place to be. Reminds me, of a ruling party, somewhere??
    1
  128.  @Cre9000  My point is. All these dictatorships, are getting Chinese surveillance gear. They isolate, and control any messaging, between people. It becomes self policing, to survive. It's worse than East Germany, where anyone could be a snitch. This is why we don't want mass surveillance, and Chinese tech, in our western countries.

  129. Always make a connection between, buying their EV’s and solar panels. With the increasing coal consumption, and horrible human rights. It’s not right.

  135. If as a culture, it’s ok to abuse your own. It’s definitely ok, to do worse, to others. As evidenced, by the treatment of the people, in the occupied territories, or the religious. Stop buying Chinese products, and say why.

  136. Hope they let that crap rot. It needs to be a public issue. Otherwise the CPC would be blamed, for non delivery.

  139. Is it true, the CCP debt trapped the DRC. Into suspending the licences of two Australian iron ore mines, and gave it to a Chinese firm? (Just heard this story last week)

  141. Dubai?

  142. Thank you, for getting the word out. You are right, the CCP isn’t being covered, as it should be. Imagine a western country, using organ transplants. As a money making way, to get rid of perceived dissidents? They would be shredded, by the media.

  143. We all know, that the CCP controls the narrative. What about, some of the mythology? Like how, family means more than in other cultures. Famine, Mao’s reign, new wealth, a narcissistic government, all create, a fair amount of dysfunction in families. I keep hearing how Chinese families are so close and supportive. What I hear, contradicts this notion. My wife, and stepson, are from Beijing. Her stories, and her, from the mainland, Chinese acquaintances. Have horrendous tales, of jealousy, abuse, and neglect. I don’t know if it’s worse, than from other places. But it sure isn’t better. Thank you Winston, for your reporting, of your experience. It will take many voices, to silence, the ministry of truth.

  144. I haven’t been able to find anything to verify that story. Other than people jumping on it. (I don’t like Trudeau, for many reasons. But I doubt he is that stupid)

  145. Now we need a COVID free, ethnic cleansing free, CCP free, winter games somewhere. All welcome. But not held in China, 2022 winter games.

  148.  @TwithGazz  Thanks, most people, in the comments, like to be critical.

  149. Please, keep putting the word out. It’s our collective survival.

  150. So, how do you get the word out? The CCP is doing a lot of bad things, while controlling the narrative. By the time we collectively wake up, it will be too late. Lobby your politicians, and big retailers.

  151. See how well, that works. He can't pack up, and move his factories. His empire, or vision, is so big. That little discretions, are justified. Problem is, they get bigger. To the point of, enabling forced labour, cultural genocide, etc. Giving tech to those, who want to destroy us.

  152. Stay awesome, Taiwan.

  153. Help others, for the love of them, your community, and yourself. When they, ask to pay, or don’t know how to be grateful. Suggest, they pass it on, pay it forward.

  154. Promising to burn more coal, till 2026. That’s the way to do it.

  155. Canada too. It is the immigrant diversity, that makes us special.

  156. Perhaps, if that was possible. The people’s of all the continents, would have advanced technologically. Eventually resulting in too many for nature to handle. But, my comment, was in reference to the Serpentsa video, mentioning the USA.

  157.  @yynolan3021  If there was a free exchange, of information, both ways. Not just one way. You would have reason to be suspicious. But as it stands now, the CCP is by definition illegitimate. If they feel the need to manipulate as much as they can.

  158.  @yynolan3021  Please, take the time to listen, to what Serpentza has been saying all along. He loves the Chinese people, and is speaking up for them, where they can’t.

  159.  @yynolan3021  I have never heard of anyone, who has a problem with a prosperous china, that’s great. Have you seen a “Chinese” map of the South China Sea lately? Can you say, expansionist bullying? One of many examples, of very bad behaviour. Why would you appoligize for it? And speaking of the persistent victim narrative. It should be directed, at Mao and friends. Not the country, and allies, that liberated china, in the Second World War. And now, have to protect Taiwan. From whom??

  160. One of many reasons, to not buy their products.
    1
  161. As long as our supply streams are reliant on Chinese components. "We" won't have any moral courage. Check the labels, at your big box retailer, and say something.

  162.  @schizophrenicgaming365  It’s not their fault, they have a genocidal government.

  163. XXX aaaahh Tibetan.. As a person of the world. I am so sorry, that there are still men today, who can be so horrible to others. I am sorry for your peoples loss. Keep your culture alive, we all face the same threat.

  164. It’s hard to distinguish between harm, efficacy, placebo effect, or just good old superstition, with TCM. What makes it abhorrent, is the use of rare, and endangered species.

  165.  @Michael9-23-15  Unless it is how to do more if it. Without blowback.

  166. @loksoon4043 Can you tell the difference between. Did bad things, like invade Tibet, Xinjiang. VS. Doing bad things, right now?
    1
  167. The foundation of their politics and culture is. Everyone shares equally, in the prosperity, and rights. Ohh!! I’ve started asking Chinese people, including my wife. Why are the migrant workers, the rural poor majority, so invisible?

  168. Stay awesome. Stay awesome forever, Taiwan.

  169. When it gets really bad. They will start a war. Defend Taiwan, now. To prevent, another Ukraine tragedy.

  170. But it’s a great socialist collective. Healthcare should be free and equal for all!!! Ha.

  171.  @321CatboxWA  Always, fan those fires of division. Good idea.

  172. The perfect, government model. (If you are the government)

  173. Same with Canada. We have all the freedoms, and healthcare.

  174. Why we need to be vigilant. About maintaining rights, and civility. But most of all corruption. I’m glad you are watching, what the CCP are doing.

  175.  @JeffreyPhua-ol3lq  They are proud to be Canadian, and of Chinese heritage. While also, grateful to be out.

  176.  @seekthetruth1478  Hello Seek, problem here, is we are talking to each other. The CCP threat is far to real, to be ignored by the rest of society. But since they have been planting people in think tanks, media, schools, and government. What really is happening, is silenced. People look at us, as if we are crazy. When we say, this is an urgent problem. Keep it up man, not many are. When a government hides behind censorship, it is illegitimate. The CCP has offered to purchase a gold mine in the Canadian high arctic. If it goes through. They will be getting a strategic asset. And ship access, to the north. Lobby your politician.

  177. Nice that it was a genuine heart, gift. Not tied to, selling religion.

  178.  @orbitalpotato9940  Dig Deeper. Everything out of Chinese media, is about control, saving face, or attacking others. Your story could be cover, for looking stupid.

  179. If they survived the cultural revolution, and then a totalitarian government, they grab anything they can get. As bad as it is, it makes sense.
    1
  180.  @SuccessforLifester  It is different. When my Chinese born wife makes a mistake. I say, oops! When she doesn’t like something I did. I get the small child running into the street treatment. It’s soul crushing.
    1
  181. Not to mention, the allies defeating the Japanese navy, and airforce. Without air and sea support, the Japanese land war, would have been cut off, from supplies. Without that, Mandarin would be for old people, playing mahjong is basements.

  182. Winston, please go talk to Xi. The drill? Stay awesome Taiwan.

  184. veerraju tv Sorry to tell you, we are all a burden to Mother Earth. Way too many people, farmland, and plastic, is not nature.

  188. In a strange way, there is an upside, of the persecution of the Falung Gong. They have been forced, to reveal the truths about the CCP. Risking their lives, they get a lot of the information out. To hopefully end the madness, and to warn the rest of us.
    1
  189.  @WalterPeagin  Frequently? It would be reported in the news, and the public would make lots of noise about it. You should visit Taiwan, the people are great. They didn't experience the generational trauma, of having their culture torn down, by the four olds, and the subsequent party control.

  190. With all the distractions. The Peng Shuai story, is off the radar. Keep this courageous lady alive, and one day free. Support her, and the Women’s Tennis Federation.

  191. My childhood neighbourhood in Vancouver, is almost all Chinese. My sons first day of school, at the same school I attended years ago, Maple Grove. He was the only, non Chinese kid in his class. I mix is great, but that was too much. We sent him, to a different school. I always think, imagine if this happened in China. With a billion more, where they came from. It wouldn’t be tolerated, for a minute.

  192. Sadly, the city folk in Canada, are getting that way. In the country, in winter, it can be someone’s life. When I stop to help a Chinese person. I tell them, I was born here, and this is what we do. Pass it on, be a good neighbour.
    1
  193. It seems the only way to turn this around. Is if the Chinese diaspora, feel safe of the CCP’s threats. How do we make this happen?

  194. Stay awesome, like Taiwan. The keeper, of Chinese heritage.

  195. What a useful tool. Make a strict law. Ignore it, so it’s commonly broken. Use it selectively, for political use.

  196. And with all those empty buildings!!

  197. I agree. But as a plumber, %90 of the supplies are from China. I try to buy from Taiwan, and the west. But it’s just not in the store shelves. Write to the big box stores, and wholesalers.

  198. Is viewership back up? Or still cut off, by YouTube. 🦨💩🍯

  199.  @chanfranc  The inner Mongolians, have been over run. Are second class “citizens”.

  200.  @chanfranc  Try to not buy Chinese products. Be aware they are conducting unconventional warfare. How it manifests, in our media. Spread the word, of their atrocities. Lobby your politicians, business leaders, etc. have faith, in a peaceful future. Make the most, of your life. If we all do a little bit, there’s a chance.

  201.  @edstevens4439 They are my nemesis. The little buggers, only come when the grapes cherries or plums, etc. is just ripe. And the fish in my back yard pond, are lazy and fat.

  202. China, be awesome like Taiwan. The world will love you again. All the resources going into surveillance and the military. Can go towards good things for the people. The whole world would benefit by not going to war. Our children will grow up.
