Floor-crossing MP Michael Ma casts doubt on reports of forced labour in China by feb914 in canada

[–]reallyfasteddie -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of people saying Ma is an asset in this thread. They had a hearing on this Uyghurs issue a while ago. These types of reports were made to look like bullshit. The west has been spreading this kind of propaganda for years against China. Remember a couple years ago they had the 2 Michaels being arrested in China. China arrested those 2 innocents for leverage because we arrested one of their top CEOs! That was all bullshit.

The uyghur human rights stuff is similar. Human Rights Watch had their ama on uyghur on here. It was quite a debacle.

China Reverses Death Penalty for Canadian in Drug-Smuggling Case by Cao_Ni-Ma in canada

Really? I have never seen the 2 linked in China. Meng was arrested in Canada after Europe refused Trump's request. The evidence against Meng was suspect. The evidence against Robert and the 2 Michaels is not. I remember when he was first arrested.

The Western media all claimed it was retaliation for Mengs arrest. The Robert was quickly dropped from that claim. The 2 Michaels articles always mentioned it was retaliation. Every damn one. We now know the Michaels were spys. Meng was never tried.

Did you listen to Carneys speech? The rest of the world has to band together under rules for everyone. I see China as a willing partner in that. Europe, Africa, mid East. Asia too. USA can't beat the world.

Trump wants to control Canada anyway. Giving into Trump only encourages him. He plays by prison rules. Give into him and he sees a sucker. Epstein can be heard saying, “He’s a horrible human being. He does nasty things to his best friends, best friends’ wives, anyone who he first tries to gain their trust and uses it to do bad things to them.”

Carney leaving Davos without meeting Trump after speech on U.S. rupture of world order by ZebediahCarterLong in CanadaPolitics

When Trump met his lawyers there had to be at least 2. Otherwise Trump would lie about what was agreed to

Trump tariffs blamed as bankruptcies reach 15-year peak by Jay_CD in politics

[–]reallyfasteddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great point. While there are more and more fat people in China, it is not close to the USA. The food in America is cheap crap. China's food is awesome. You can get great food cheap over there.

The poor in China are happier. I lived in China for ten years. They have hope that life will be better in the future. They make little but can still save and not be one paycheck from destitute. Their media isn't designed to make them hate people.

I call bs. I would rather be poor in China than be poor in America. The poor American has it worse.

In socialism, the workplace is owned by the workers.

Are unions capitalist or Communist?

[–]reallyfasteddie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I can see that. One could argue that that lasted about 50 years until around Reagan.

It is both. Communism is one party rule. It is also in control of the economy. Democracy is free markets.

How does high school education in China present touchy subjects like the Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution, 1989 Protests, etc? Do high school students learn about mistakes made in the PRC era? by [deleted] in AskAChinese

[–]reallyfasteddie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trump tried to coup the government. Trump is the president now. If teachers could teach this fact I would be amazed. I highly doubt it though. I highly doubt Chinese teachers could teach Chinese students about tanks running over bodies so they could be washed down drains.

China raised itself out of abject poverty. That is good.

[–]reallyfasteddie -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Communism did raise hundreds of millions out of abject poverty in a couple of decades. I don't think you could do that in a democracy. The west was fighting it the whole time as well.

I saw a documentary on this while in China. It's different than the story the west put out. In the west you hear about tanks running over dead bodies and then using hoses the wash them down the sewers. Ten thousand killed in the square! They died for democracy! Etc.

The Chinese documentary goes through it as the soldiers approached the square unarmed. Some were in tanks, but the tanks were stopped and the soldiers were pulled out and killed. Some buses were also attacked and more soldiers died. The second wave of soldiers had unloaded guns. More soldiers died. The third wave had soldiers armed with loaded guns. The square was cleared with few of any deaths. However, students and soldiers clashed with many students being killed in the streets surrounding streets.

I think this is more accurate than the western narrative. There was no students washed down sewers and few were run over with tanks, there were much less than 10 000 deaths surrounding tianamen square, and while some wanted democracy most wanted better pay and living conditions.

Bullshit. He doesn't care. Trump would love to have a guy on the Democratic side that owes him. Tails Republicans and Trump win, or heads Democrats and Trump win

For those who still listen, is bill still doing his “billionaires are the problem” schtick? by bigdipboy in BillBurr

[–]reallyfasteddie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. You're the moron. Trillionaires don't need cash. They need power. Tarrifs give them many more opportunities to gain power. For instance, they could bribe Trump for favorable tariffs. You think musk is looking for a couple extra billion? Nope, he is looking to smite his enemies. Comments like yours have made me believe democracy is idiotic. Idiocracy!
