true observation. not new though. the right has been slowly coming to a boil for some time now. they have a lot in common (behaviorally) with volcanoes. bubble/bitch/complain underground until "you just can't take it anymore" and blow your top. odd how the places that should know better ( US, Germany etc) are the most susceptible to its siren allure, the calling from the dangerous shoals where dreams slam into harsh reality...

China is the most authoritarian of all the major countries.
LOL, in the USA the inmates are running the asylum, 'nuff said!

No country on earth has a larger percentage of it's population incarcerated than the good old USA.
No country on earth has had more growth and experienced a greater rise in their standard of living than China.
Thank the Regan revolution for that truly loving gift, given at our expense of course.
Talk about socialism, that was one fine example.
funny how no one talks about slave labour camps when the US does it? how many millions of prisoners are working for pennies on the dollar in prisons across the US? how many black woman have been sterilized in the US prison system? but does anyone say the US is committing genocide on its black prison population? anyone who still thinks we are not in the age of information war is blind to whats right in front of them.
does anyone actually say/think that? been going for decades...
Georgia lawmaker arrested for knocking on Governor's door as he's privately signing voter suppression policies into law because republicans can't win without cheating. they've also made it an arrestable offense to offer food and water to people standing on voter lines (lines which, in Georgia, were up to 8+ hours long this last election).

So you say: I guess such news isn’t carried in Switzerland? Or on any of the “popular” wrong-wing pseudo-news channels, for that matter; maybe it’s just that no one talks about it to you?
the context is the Chines supposed slave labour, when was the last time CNN accused the US of running slave labour camps? so far most of whats been carried as you put it is that China is committing genocide etc.
do you have thoughts on the topic i wonder? or would you like to keep on making this about me and my search for truth on the matter of China?

so basically what you're saying is the US is China but with religious freedom. cause we're guilty of all those things too.
