      300,000 people are on the organ donor wait-list in China at this very moment.

      You’re a perfect example of the power of propaganda lol

          Uyghurs are “their own people” and the USA has far more of its citizens incarcerated than China does.

            The US has a ton of problems, I’m not saying it’s a great country to live in necessarily (I wouldn’t move there given the choice). But it’s not a dictatorship where laws are optional for the government.

            Maybe freedom doesn’t mean anything to you when you’re not the one being reeducated though.

              Neither is China. Also lol at saying laws aren’t optional for government in the USA.

              Maybe freedom doesn’t mean anything to you when you’re not the one being reeducated though.

              Again, the USA has vastly more people incarcerated than China.

                  “Lol” is always such a strong argument. Really shows that your point is to be taken seriously.

                  What are you talking about?

                  If you think that the rule of law in dictatorships is really no worse than that of a democratic country (even one that’s currently in bad shape) I think you’re delusional honestly.

                  Again, what are to talking about? China is a democratic country.

                  we don’t have gulags where we send political opponents to disappear.

                  Neither does China, though the USA does have several times more people incarcerated, including in concentration camps and torture black sites.

                  We don’t have government edicts telling our journalists what they are allowed to talk about.

                  You absolutely do. Not to mention edicts from the private entities that own both your government and your media.

      Suddenly there’s no waitlist for organs after these camps start going up?
