The important thing is that the truth hopefully escapes any attempted blackout.

Genocide is probably an overstatement.

The deaths will probably be in the 5 figure range, but you have to get well into the 6 figure range to start using the term genocide.

not in China were it counts.

China is faking violent protesters by using gangs to attack police, allowing the police to use increased force.

I’m looking at long term, people have tendency to just go missing.

They have been filming, soldiers pretending to be rioters etc. IMO the will hunt each and everyone down.

But will see.

There all still in prison and China has increased their blacklist of Canadian goods, the public opinion of China in Canada is dropping fast (5% of the population here is from China).

Chinese governments, historically, have never had much respect for human life.

Ya the Chinese don’t mess around and don’t care it would be nice to see an alliance of countries to sanction them instead western companies has sent them our manufacturing and now they are the second - soon to be richest country in the world, with zero morals. Or as Beijing released "Such violence must be severely punished, “without leniency, without mercy.”

the biggest issue with dealing with China is no single country can push them around it need to be a united front, they have weeded themselves so much power in international politics.

To be fair, Pakistan and India have been poking at each other for decades now.
Since they both have nukes, it will be interesting where the poking and prodding takes them.

Here’s China, but then, who wants to write for a paper or practice a faith without government approval, anyway? Or isn’t preordering a prison jumpsuit before they protest lack of minority rights?
