But most Chinese are actually content with their country's government. I know it is hard to believe in the West where in most countries half the population would like to topple their elected leaders.
That's a blatant lie. You must be in China being paid to spread propaganda.

Even those living in Hong Kong will no longer be able to say anything negative about the government.

Yes, and when that dam goes it will create an economic, and ecological catastrophe the likes of which have never been seen before.

The potential havoc that may be coming globally from the CCP

To be fair the Ulghur aren't exactly popular in most of Asia. If I am not mistaken Ulghur radicals are the ones responsible for deadly bombings in Bangkok 5 years ago.. Maybe they aren't in camps only because of religion. I don't know, But I do know that my daughter was in BKK when the bombings happened.

I hate defending China because I have the same regard for the Chinese Government as I do tape worms.

A million of them are all radicals and deserved to be punished? According to various news outlet, they have been forced to perform slave labors making American products like Nike and others. Women have been given forced abortions. Men are sterilized. Their organs have been harvested. And the worst punishment of all -- listening to Xi Jinping voice for hours.

Well Muslims are responsible for many terrorist acts. Would it be ok to just round them up in concentration camps.

yet somehow they cant see or believe that they themselves are victims to lies being spread about china by trump and friends (most recently, but anti-china sentiment is more bilateral).
I'm willing to bet less than 5% of CD POC posters have even been to china to see firsthand for themselves if what they've been told is true
And I am not sure how they would be so successful being communists. They are sounding more like the Third Reich Germans of the 1930's - Strong private investments, Social welfare, making decent products. Not to forget the government control and also a keen eye on territorial expansion and proud about their past.

So, you are against the same things the CCP is against?

The Trump has always done business with China and his daughter trolled for all of those Patton’s she got from them. Trump talks a big game. He’s all talk. He built the Trump tower mostly from Chinese products.

Never said that it was. I simply question ed if it was only due to their religion.
