How sad is it when lazy people don't research about China gulags, harvesting organs, Slavery....from Apple to Hollywood to the NBA just follow the money. It's all about the money and China being number one and there's a percentage of Americans who sell out everyday.
Instead of "research" you should try talking to some Chinese people sometime (not americans - chinese chinese). They don't give a **** about these things.
The chinese government is not the greatest on earth - they certainly are big on censorship and media control, although, I might add, the country that is by far the best at brainwashing is the USA. Americans are largely unaware that most of their future and their money is spent on war and they are content with pretend-good movements like banning plastic straws and extremely chilidish "science".
You won't find any information on China on the NYT, and now also on Google. That is you will find a lot of information but this information has nothing to do with what's actually happening - it is merely the propaganda and what they want you to think.
That doesn't mean China is great - that would be a fallacy to assume. What I am saying is that what you hear is what they want you to hear, no matter if it is true or not. They may say China is bad at human rights - and it might be true, or not true, but they will say it regardless of that. Therefor that information is tainted. Forget about it - it's massive amounts of unformation but rather than telling facts, it only tells the intentions of the handful of oligarchs ruling America.
In russia and also China, people generally know who the oligarchs are, but America is a much different beast, and the powers that control it are smart enough to remain hidden. You can't remove someone when you don't even know who they are.
Elections are a charade where the only thing that is guaranteed is that nothing will fundamentally change. Although Trump threw a bit of a wrench in that machine, he was never supposed to win; which is why ALL the propaganda cannons are aimed at him, and if you have bought into it sorry you have absolutely no idea you are just a robot who keeps getting programmed by TV and lately Google and Facebook have joned the fray and will only show what you're supposed to think, and hide everything else. The good thing is any moment you can opt out.
So = talk to some Chinese people and see how they feel. Most of them are proud because China is nowadays the most powerful country in the world. What other government has an annual growth rate of 10% for the last 2 decades... that's pretty impressive
As to what Chins is doing with human rights. Difficult to tell. One thing I know is that they don't blow up weddings in pakistan with drone strikes. So if you say OMG they are threatening to invest in many countries and extend their influence, all I can say, yes, but they haven't started 7 wars in the last 8 years, killing millions of people in the process. The country that killed millions was the USA. The government that did that was the US government. The chinese government may or may not mistreat dissidents - but have they murdered millions? Use some perspective. Which american majority has voted for wars, for senseless killing overseas against threats that are laughable?
Has there been a vote on playing world police, using half of American money? I used to live in America, and guess what most Americans are wonderful human beings trying to do their best. Just as anywhere else, just like in China, just like in Russia, and everywhere I've been. They would not vote for mass murder. But they haven't been asked. Instead they've been lied to, and the true costs are NEVER ever mentioned on TV, CNN, or soon enough Google. It's as if $600 Billion dollars - half the federal budget - was NOT spent on killing people. But it is. Keep perspective.
