Last I checked half the countries in the world have travel advisories warning people not to visit the US because of arbitrary police violence.
Pretty great deal for China and its people that this guy decided to never go there
No comrade please don't tie me up (
) give me free housing and state mandated hrt I would hate that so muchAs you spend two afternoons of your personal time shuffling from office to office seeking various stamps, grants and reliefs, so you can get the x-rays that are required before that little half hour filling procedure can be approved...
when he said "200 American citizens are suspiciously imprisoned in China", I wondered if he was counting every American imprisoned in China. you expect they have to arrest some actual American criminals, and probably most of them are ethnically Chinese with American citizenship. looking around though, the claim is repeated with additional specifics, and seems to be cited from the Dui Hua foundation, but is contradicted by the source
"since 1972, John Kamm (Chainman of the foundation) has handled about 6,000 such cases in China, but he said only about a dozen involved American citizens.
In all, 110 American citizens have been detained, imprisoned, or released on bail or probation in China, according to a State Department response to a congressional committee in October."
so if anything, they are saying 200 Americans have been imprisoned in China... over 30 years, i.e. almost everyone has already been released. If I had to guess, most of these people were probably held for deportation.
Now do number of South Americans detained in Texas over 30 years
that's going to be a generously deflated number since Mexico isn't in south America and Texas isn't the only state to detain immigrants (legal or otherwise)
The point is that even the deflated number will be orders of magnitude greater
for the record most of these citizens that were imprisoned were rich chinese expats money laundering cash out of china
As I’ve written before, we are in the foothills of a new type of Cold War, not merely between the US and China, but between the Chinese Communist Party and those who dare criticize it: between the free and the unfree. For those of us who remember the end of the old Cold War, it is a day of reckoning.
What an intellectual giant. This cold war is unlike the last one because this one is "between the free and the unfree".
lmao I looked at John Lemming's page and this guy literally ONLY writes about China.
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
