Oh, apart from your 2 troll chums. Now who would have thought that? I If this were a competition then you would struggle on honesty and quality, but win hands down on attacking those posting a view not in keeping with yours, so on topic: over 10 years ago China overtook the USA wrt GDP PPP, which means that Chinese consumers have been many times more important to China than US consumers. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest October 22, 2019 (edited) Actually, nah, let's take a look at China's human rights record... Prisoners in China's Xinjiang concentration camps subjected to gang rape and medical experiments, former detainee says A Muslim woman who escaped from a state “re-education” camp in China has said inmates were gang raped, subjected to torture and medical experiments and forced to eat pork. Sayragul Sauytbay, a Chinese Muslim of Kazakh descent, said she was detained by the state in November 2017. The 43-year-old teacher was escorted by armed men to a camp, where she was held for several months, according to Haaretz. She was ordered to teach inmates Chinese. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-xinjiang-uighur-muslim-detention-camps-xi-jinping-persecution-a9165896.html “It was forbidden to speak with the prisoners, forbidden to laugh, forbidden to cry and forbidden to answer questions from anyone,” she said. “There were almost 20 people in a room of 16 square meters. “There were cameras in their rooms, too, and also in the corridor. Each room had a plastic bucket for a toilet. Every prisoner was given two minutes a day to use the toilet, and the bucket was emptied only once a day.” Ms Sautybay said women were systematically raped and that she was forced to watch a woman be repeatedly assaulted. “The policemen ordered her to disrobe and simply raped her one after the other, in front of everyone,” she told Haaretz. “While they were raping her they checked to see how we were reacting. People who turned their head or closed their eyes, and those who looked angry or shocked, were taken away and we never saw them again. “It was awful. I will never forget the feeling of helplessness, of not being able to help her.” She added: “On an everyday basis the policemen took the pretty girls with them, and they didn’t come back to the rooms all night.” China is believed to have detained more than a million people from mostly Muslim ethnic minorities in the province of Xinjiang since 2017. Global concern over the camps has increased in recent months, with Mike Pompeo, the US secretary of state, calling Beijing’s treatment of Muslim minorities ”the stain of the century.” Ms Satuybay said that as well as torture, prisoners were also subjected to mysterious human experiments.“The inmates would be given pills or injections,” she said. “[They] had different kinds of effects. “Some prisoners were cognitively weakened. Women stopped getting their period and men became sterile.” The 43-year-old was instructed to teach the prisoners Communist Party propaganda songs and slogans. As a camp teacher she avoided the very worst of the alleged conditions. The inmates were forced to recite slogans such as: “I love China,” “Thank you to the Communist Party,” “I am Chinese” and “I love Xi Jinping”. Ms Sautybay also said that all inmates, including observant Muslim prisoners, were forced to eat pork. “The food was bad, there weren’t enough hours for sleep and the hygiene was atrocious,” the teacher said. In March 2018 the 43-year-old was released from the camp and ordered to return to her former role as the director of five nurseries. She was fired three days after returning and once again interrogated by police officers, who accused her of treason. Ms Sautybay was told she would return to a camp as a regular inmate instead of a teacher. click link for whole article Edited October 22, 2019 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do not bother talking to me again - you are so far gone it's unreal, you'll never be on my level in any sense, and I don't speak droid. Keep reading what you do, it will do you many favours.

You could try to post on topic, but instead revert to type as well, with no credible commentary on the topic... one where most in the US are oblivious to Trump's duplicity on trade issues whereby his actions set the tone for breaking well established international trade protocols and appear to have achieved nothing but greater costs for US consumers. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest October 22, 2019 (edited) Can't take credit for words but my pic is better than Tom's. Take note all. 2019 China - the superpower whose leader fears a yellow fluffy bear. Confucius would be proud. And yep, I've started few China threads too. But they weren't written by your Orwellesque press. Zzz. Hahah just saw reference to breaking rules. Can people please try not to quote these trolls? It's like a form of ironic mind pollution. Breaking rules and bad journalism comments. Unreal. The tragedy is he's serious. ''duplicity on trade issues whereby his actions set the tone for breaking well established international trade protocols...'' 🤣😂😅 - this is what we call ironic.

It's more than obvious you cannot present a case, so what is relevant here is that the US is isolating itself from parties who should be its allies in pressuring China to expedite trade reforms which, again few in the US realiize, were a trade mark of Obama's softly, sofly catchee monkee approach.

The key lies in who rescued Trump from his bankruptcies, who is the same person to support Trump financially in his election campaign. That person made his billions in casinos. That person has a casino in Macau, and that casino provides the great majority of cash flow to that person. The lease and operating licence on that casino is about to expire. That casino is in SAR Macao, now part of China, and all lease/licence renewals will require Beijng approval. Readers can connect the dots from here. Of course, the Trump propaganda machine will paint an entirely different picture, and the dumbed down drugged up 'murcans will believe. Fake news. This guy doesn't read he peddles in MSM narratives. The expiring casino concession licenses are for LVS, MGM, Wynn having nothing to do with Trump. The gaming commission believes 'the US-China trade war that continues to threaten the global economy has little chance to disrupt the Macau casino licensing renewal process'. These conspiracy theory clown tho. https://www.casino.org/news/remote-chance-us-casino-lose-macau-concessions-due-to-trade-war 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So then, I also assume your position on President Trump is that he's a racist who incites hate speech and yadda yadda, but then you come on here and immediately attack me as "an ignorant white voter". You ser why it's hard for anyone to take your position seriously. Lastly, as people on this forum go, I'm pretty middle of the road. I don't attack people for their ideas. I typically try to find middle ground. So. Its wild to me you would be so easily triggered. I'm curious, what is it that President Trump has done that you hate so much? His sometimes stupid tweets? That a wall, which he has been fought on the whole time, hasn't been built or paid for by Mexico? Did you expect them to pay cash for the wall in a one time lump sum? President Trump certainly never indicated that's what he intended. I didnt particularly like a lot of President Obama's policies, but I gave him credit where credit was due and I don't attack his supporters based on the color of their skin. I didn't like obama at all, his entire focus was on getting that ignorant aca passed and sticking it to the working people of America. We are just starting to find out all the dishonest trickery that he pulled while in office, and do you remember when he told us all that manufacturing was leaving the United States. I have never hated a POTUS as much as I hated him, worthless peice of shite he is.... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
