I'm pretty sure he was referring to the Chinese government, not individual Chinese people.



I was talking about the Chinese government, if its people do care about the environment but try to do something about it they would get labelled as dissidents and prosecuted. Thats what you get for living in an authoritarian state keeping its people under thumb in order to further the party

And stop with the "racist" crap, in light of news of widespread NSA surveilance and changes over last year the USA ain that far behind.

It didnt take long for members of the Ministry of Truth to popup and try to "reeducate" readers regarding my earlier comments.

Oh I see, so we can just generalise about any country because the US is doing horrible things.

More wumao bullshit. Just because someone doesn't buy into the US constructed narrative of "US is good, cares about it's people and the environment, China is evil and just wants to control the world" they have to be Chinese shills...

How about showing me some data that proves I'm wrong?

EDIT: Here is some that shows I'm right:

I never made such an argument, you are the one building strawmen and going off on a tangent trying to deflect from my point which hits the bullsye

The "Party" (calling them Communist is a bit of a joke by now) only cares about its own survival and continuing grip on power and control of 1/6th of the worlds population.


If it only cared about control then why wouldn't it just be doing what North Korea is doing? Why would it be working so hard to improve things?

It's not a strawman it's very pertinent.

I think you need to read Capital (Marx), before judging whether they are communist/socialist, either way they call themselves that.


If that is what they meant, then sure, that is what my other points in my post addressed.
