    when we do it: "officials have been fired" / "there has been a reshuffle"
    when they do it: "officials are straight up fuckin' dead dude, trust me"

      That's what it said when they received it from the State Department and it seemed fine as-is

    This article is unhinged, what the fuck is this? Just absolutely wild innuendo. Li Keqiang's death was like Putin throwing a guy out a window? The man had a liver transplant and a coronary artery bypass and was 68 years old according to the communists over at Wikipedia.

      Everyone in the free world knows that's young for a politician, political careers are supposed to last well into your 90s.

    In the US: "We should really do something about money in politics!"

    China: Actually does something

    US: AUTHORITARIANISM!!!

    Almost every western business outlet has talked about how china used to be less attractive due to its corruption, and other political outlets have talked about how the CPC used to be easily penetrable because the officials were quick to inform for the CIA. But then the reversal happened after Xi got into power and started purging everyone lol. Some Vietnamese citizens have even complained online about how their government should copy China's policies in order to reduce liberalism and corruption within the government

    Xi personally pulled millions of people into his office and fired them himself. You’re fired! How Trumpian!

    How could Xi possibly perceive millions of bureaucrats as being potential enemies? There’s no way he could “perceive” that many individuals unless there was whole organizations being purged, and then you’d think they would mention that in the lead.

    "Rick use to come into work every day, until one day the boss took him into his office. He was only in there for a few minutes, but then he came out looking really stressed, and he left the building without saying a word to anyone. I haven't seen him since. I think he was killed."
