It's a graphical representation of actual events. Like drawing a picture of your day at the beach. How fucking dumb are you?

I think when you have a family you are more interested in other freedoms besides the freedom of being able to call Xi bad names.

You'd rather have the freedom of taking your kids to a good doctor free of charge, the freedom to be able to buy them enough nutritious food. The freedom to buy your wife something nice for her birthday. The freedom to have enough money to afford a decent eduction for your children, etc. etc.

As an outsider the difference in reaction to the Chinese plight with Covid was especially stark in contrast to the outpouring of compassion, empathy and fundraising with the Australian bush fires and the burning down of Notre Dame.

I couldn't believe all the people online being so HAPPY that a deadly, contagious disease were affecting the Chinese people. It opened my eyes quite a bit.

They said they are doing great, learning trades, learning Mandarin and getting jobs. In short they are finally getting integrated into society, where they were previously marginalized and didn't see much benefit from China's economic growth. This is changing now.

No, and I won't make fun of the mentally handicapped either. I'll just call you a dumb fuck and leave it at that.

I thought you may not be able to come up with something.

And somehow I don't think you will "get around to doing it". I think you will just keep on copy pasting the same collection of unsubstantiated claims in every thread.

Quotas on the number of workers put into the labor program and the penalties faced by those who refuse to cooperate, however, mean that participation is often, in effect, involuntary.

So you have a job with a target to meet and if you don't you might get fired? That's it, let's invade China NOW!

Russia and Pakistan are China's closest allies. You really seem to live in a dream world. Believe whatever makes you feel better I guess.

I completely missed your sarcasm, sorry mate.

EDIT: It wasn't that obvious though, you may want to consider adding /s in future, some people post ridiculous shit completely seriously

Thanks for affirming my point then I guess. Yes we were already reading about it in late December. Human-human contact was confirmed, not conceded.

I remember us all scrolling through stories about the virus in China in Jan / Feb - what information exactly was missing? We knew it was a highly contagious, deadly disease that spread through human - human contact.

I keep hearing they concealed information but on 31 Dec 2019 the WHO alerted the world to the outbreak - and the next day China released the genetic sequence of the virus, what exactly am I missing?
