    It's not whataboutism, ya dingus. Prison labor is simply a common part of most countries. I'm simply stating that there's no difference between "work camps" and "prison labor." There's also no difference between "reeducation" and "rehabilitation" or "forced labor" and "prison labor programs."

      The only response dumb tankies like you deserve is that if you say anything bad about Winnie in China, you'll get literally disappeared, tortured, "reprogrammed" or killed.

      On the other hand I can say Biden is garbage, Trudeau is a fanny and Sunak is a cockwomble. Nothing bad happens to me, see?

      You are an idiot if you're batting for imperialist authoritarians.

        People protest in China all the time. They talk shit about the government too. This notion of "freedom" you have is a veil of capitalist propaganda intended to keep you working until you die. Don't worry, I'm firmly opposed to the biggest authoritarian nation in the world, the United States.

            Do what? Talk shit about the Chinese government? Okay. Xi Jinping is getting lost in this ongoing propaganda war with America. His dumb ass is fueling the fire instead of just ignoring the constant poking and prodding. If China just keeps up with the belt and road they'll win the economic war with the West. But if they keep bickering over Taiwan and maritime borders in the South China Sea, they're gonna crumble like the USSR.
