    To be fair, we have no idea how many COVID infections or deaths China had or how many prisoners they have. It isn’t like they are the most transparent with either matter.

    Everything else he said checks out. 🇺🇲

      We have 2 million prisoners for 330 million people.

      They claim 1.6 million prisoners for their 1.4 billion people.

      Even if it were double what China claims, per capita we keep far more of our people in bondage, because we found and disgustingly prioritize the private profit in it. More prisoners for private for profit prisons, and more slave labor leased out to for profit corporations.

      We put people in cages using any excuse to increase quarterly earnings expectations for our sociopath class. “Land of the free,” Lo fucking L.

          At this point I trust their government and our government equally.

          As an American, I would take the word of any single European union member nation over the word of both China and the US claiming anything in unison.

              Sometimes I forget that Hungary is part of the EU. And that Hungary and Turkey are part of NATO. It’s the kind of thing I don’t like remembering.

            At least China has the guts to call out the West for supporting the genocide in Gaza, something out own Democratic party seems wholly incapable of.

              It is easy calling out genocides from other nations.

              Call me when they talk about their own genocides.

              Ignore their own genocide against muslims, focus on the Jews.

                Even in that regard, reeducation camps are better than for-profit prisons. They have different goals in mind.

                  Forced labor and indoctrination compared to just forced labor. If we start calling for profit prisons time-out zones with chores will that placate you?

                    Rehabilitative prisons are places of indoctrination as well, yet people are okay with that. It depends what the goals are, and what other options were tried first.

                    For profit prisons are bad because the goal is profit, and the product they sell is people (labor). I dont think many people have avoided anti-china propaganda to be able to judge that situation fully though.

        The number of imprisoned is the point he made, not the per capita.

      They had robots spraying disinfectant on streets. They would test and barricade people in homes who were positive. They would also feed them though. Whole city quarantines. They did not fuck around on Covid. It’s reasonable that not fucking around achieved a low death rate. It shows how much richer they really are compared to west in being able to afford such measures.
