  1. Well, "John Newsom" , the CCP now gets to vet (and disallow) people who want to run for office in HK... so it's no longer a democracy when the overlord says to a would-be candidate: "you're too popular and we don't like your views, so no: you can't run for office against the CCP candidates". That's just not how a democracy works... but, you obviously don't live in a democracy yourself "John", so perhaps you didn't know that, but now you do.

  2.  @johnnewsom2059  "John" - Can we agree that China is a dictatorship that practices slave labor and holds large sections of the population (Uighurs in Xinjiang are only one example) against their will in labor camps where they must manufacture clothing at slave labor wages while simultaneously the Chinese state is relentlessly trying to stamp out their cultural identity, and that, along with the treatment the Tibetans suffer, it's obvious that the Han people see themselves as the only acceptable role model for the nation? And can we not also agree that "communism" as practiced in China is merely a cover for what is actually state-owned and run Capitalism? And can we further agree that China's belligerent attitudes towards its neighbors in the South China Sea (erecting islands where none existed before and then threatening to cut off the free right to transit this area) should speak volumes about the growing imperialism of the Chinese state? Not to mention the Chinese covid outrages, including the recent laughable WHO scientific mission to China that was little more than a dumb show that fooled no one, completely lacking in any serious unfettered data collection by unbiased scientists? China investigates itself, finds itself completely blameless (quel surprise!) & then hands the untrustworthy and frankly laughable results over to the credulous WHO shills? Surely we can agree on that, n'est-ce pas? Would YOU swear allegiance to such an aggressive entity at war with any basic concept of Human Rights? Like Free Speech, the Right to practice one's own religion, and the Right to privacy, to pick three at random? Well... I guess you already have, "John". Too bad... China's past, especially its glorious artistic history, might have augured for another fate for its coming out party; one that would've, and should've, been the envy of the world. But now I fear a very dark time is drawing nigh for the entire world, and China will be one of the causes of that darkness, though not, of course, the only one.

  3.  @johnnewsom2059  - Superficial facts? You're pointing at a clownfish while a shark is racing closer to cut you in half with his fearsome triangular teeth. You exhibit no sense of proportionality concerning the horrendous crimes that your nation engages in on a daily basis, from Xinjiang to Hong Kong and beyond... but of course, you're a bought and paid for shill of this engine of mass destruction, probably a mid-level PLA functionary who only knows how to follow orders. There's no point in engaging with you further "John".
