    Agreed. While yes china is kicking our ass at pretty much everything I don’t see china as the answer to everything especially with Winnie the Pooh bear Xi. But also America capitalism isn’t the answer either.

      Also agreed. No system is going to work so long as it allows power to be consolidated among a ruling class, or allows censorship of political cartoons solely on the basis of a Dear Leader’s ego. America and China share these issues alike, and many more.

        That never actually happened btw. At all. Ever. In any part of China.

        It was a story wholesale made up by NED-linked organizations, repeated by US media linking to those organizations, without any first-party evidence to the claim.

            No kiddo, people that have more knowledge than you are not tankies. I understand you guys love your thought terminating cliches like all right-wingers, but do try to open your mind a bit before the leopards you’re supporting eat your face.

            And yes, thank you for proving my point. Click through the ‘citations,’ that all link back to the same three organizations, none of which have ever operated in China nor have any knowledge of China. There are no first hand sources of knowledge on this, because there is no Chinese language coverage of this supposed ban. Anywhere. From any point in time.

              Oh yeah no, I get it. Any source except literally the people who would be incriminated by the truth will not satisfy you. We already knew that. Thanks for the laugh at the “kiddo”, though. Hopefully when you grow up they’ll give you a real job, like picking up after Trump’s stanky-leg deposits next time he visits. And he will visit again. He loves dictators, and if no other evidence of Chinese dictatorship existed, I would accept Trump’s fawning over Xinnie The Pooh as 100% confirmation.

      Hey I asked my buddy from hexbear to explain it to you and make you stop calling Mr Xi names.
