""“And even in the fever of epidemic arrests, when people leaving for work said farewell to their families every day, because they could not be certain they would return at night, even then almost no one tried to run away and only in rare cases did people commit suicide. And that was exactly what was required. A submissive sheep is a find for a wolf.” ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956.."""
Remember Government, regardless of different labels, never hesitates to massacre people when "needed" to protect their power. Thus, Government will send their thugs to kill protesters or rioters or whatever you call them. Government will win in the end, UNLESS the people, in their mind, really want to fight to get rid of government.
So far, from East to West, there is no wish to fight government among the people and dissidents. Only impulsive anger and discontent with some small, narrow issues. That's all.
Have you ever learned anything at all? Already forgot the Canada "Freedom Convoy", American Convoy, European millions Freedom march with speech after speech after speech... exposé of government fraud and crime one after another...
If you would not dare to think of fighting your own government, then don't expect it from others!
Anyway, don't forget that Mao and his CCP murdered 40-50 millions Chinese during his reign to preserve the power of the government ( or the Party so to speak)... And the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre where Young Chinese, mostly Uni-students were massacred by the so-called "People Army!"
The irony is, it's the "intellectuals" in the West that have been trying to re-write history of this massacre in defense of the ChiCom government, as they had done on the "1953-1956 Land Reform" in defense of Ho Chi Minh and his ViCom!
So, if you want to feel good in your own armchair, just enjoy this short clip!
Like you, I have no way to verify anything these days!
Tianamen square was not what you and others state.
The police were told to stand down and yet the protestors attacked them.
But it's propaganda you follow on that. I saw documentaries and there were dead police and military, but no sight of dead protestors... Hmm
Sounds like you also think there's a uyghur genocide lol.
I'm not defending China but stop being an idiot following the BBC etc
But yes, this Covid shit is stupid. CCP is just like Russia and the west with this pandemic bullshit.
