    Being all up in every aspect of their people's lives is not being responsible, it's being oppressive and overbearing.

    I've talked to people in China before. They tell me how it is over there.

    The Chinese believe that Unity is their strength, and that if they can keep it then they will rule the world, because the West is rotten and falling apart at an astonishing speed.

    And with their demographics problem it has to be now.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    Good points but for me it was his acknowledgement that trump was the first/only one to actually confront what the ccp is doing.

    He also points out that how trump mocks China is exactly how they do the USA...

    Not him or individual Americans, but the nation~ referred to not as America, but American imperialism.........

    Essentially an aggressive negative stereotyping inherently antagonistic towards America & to the west..

    The USA perceived~ PUSHED BY THE CCP as the forever antagonist enemy hellbent on containing & stifling China.

    Note: not peer, not friendly competitor etc etc etc as wallstreet & some politicians prefer to frame it, but as a direct threat & something to be overcome by any & all means necessary..

    May I ask you a question? What is the purpose of your thread?
    Just as it states: Did you watch the video??

    As he mentions in the video no one/very few are all bad or all good & this opened his eyes to the facts stated-trump was the first & probably only one to call the CCP out on it.. Rubio did a great background exposure but nothing became of it....

    As China rapidly becomes more competent at finding and crushing heretics the people of the West increasingly dont know what the Chinese think. Those loyal to the Empire would not dream of telling us the truth, that would get in the way of the Empires Prime Directive...global domination.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    What they feel or think can remain a mystery there are repercussions..

    I have heard many ppl lay down many complaints of various types but I have also seen/heard Chinese professors & politicians point out that each (normal year) their is well over 100 million Chinese tourist out of country & around the world & SHOCKINGLY, OR NOT THEY ALL RETURN HOME........
