good one, haha.

This is nothing to be laughing about. Internal saboteurs are an extreme threat. It is literally the History has been all about: fates of entire nations being decided by well timed political back stabs.

I think you just woke up from cryovac from the 1950s. You should name names of communist agents in the state department

I'm in complete and utter disbelief reading this. How can stuff like this be happening in 2020? I mean this seriously but as a lowly computer programmer is there any way we can help these poor people other than offer our sympathy?

Not allow @dang and HN to shadowban “flame war” topics in the name of decorum. This normalizes decorum over inconvenient truths. @dang shadowbanned me for accurately discussing the propaganda warfare happening in US vs China relations, and the way current neo-Marxist riots tie into a long history of subversive movements.

How would one go about that?

Pay your taxes so that your military can keep an eye on the assholes who do this, and so that UN may offer some form of asylum to their victims. Vote for politicians that oppose this shit publicly. Explain to your kids why this is wrong.

Certainly nothing like this, and our practices in war have always stood out as more humane than the other side. People sometimes point to Afghanistan, but I don’t remember out guys beheading anyone.

China has built almost 400 new camps since 2017, while new testimonies have emerged alleging slave labour, forced sterilisations and organ harvesting taking place inside the camps too.

This is def. bad, though I feel somewhat hypocritical, since we're doing forced sterilizations here too... definitely it needs to stop in China AND the USA. https://www.npr.org/2020/09/18/914465793/ice-a-whistleblower...

I'm trying to avoid downplaying this, but the articles linked from your link suggest this is primarily the actions of a single doctor. It seems possible this is an opportunistic individual taking advantage of the migrants who don't speak the language. The practice is obviously abhorrent wherever it happens, but it's not an exact comparison.

Nobody wants to read this on HN. If you disagree post why you disagree, an insult like this serves no purpose other than alienating alternative opinions. If I had the karma I would flag you.

Don't be patronizing please, it was fully deserved and I absolutely don't mind readindg it.

I minded. Because his opinion is in line with what the Chinese perspective.

We as americans vehemently disagree, but a chinese citizen, after witnessing several terrorist attacks by the Uighur which slaughtered hundreds of chinese people, will obviously have a different perspective. This isn't a one time isolated incident... these were multiple attacks occurring with no end in sight.

Rather than not minding insults to opinions you disagree with, why don't you have an open mind and post why you disagree rather then insult the person you disagree with?

or have a current president with a hidden bank account and forward some 17mil to him when he gets elected...

The CCP gave Trump $17 million? That’s a new one.

He's paid taxes on... something. If he was just persuing licencing deals, but didn't land any, you'd think there would be no income tax that needs to be paid in China.

A few individuals buying less stuff isn't going to have much effect. We need something more like the west putting 50% tariffs on Chinese products so all the manufacturing starts moving to other countries. That would probably get their attention.

There’s a lot to not like about Trump, but he’s literally the only one in 50 years who’s been willing to play for keeps on Chinese tariffs. And he’s been raked over the coals for it.

And accomplished jack-all.

The real problem is not China producing cheap steel, but human rights abuses, and censorship. 45 hasn't done anything about that.

The account apparently had some millions deposited into in and then withdrawn quickly after. It's not entirely clear who or where that money came from in the first place.

This simply isn’t true. And even if it were, that is still no excuse. Terrible things happen in war. Innocent people die or get seriously scarred in war, often for decades to come after the war ends. Being “better then the opposing party” is no excuse and provides no comfort to the victims of war.
