In China, the authorities don’t need and won’t ask for permission. Instead, they ask, what makes you think that this is your country. We make the rules.
Trump Republicans think the same way.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

China has had some incredibly evil leaders throughout its several thousand year history. Mao was a despotic man who lead to a truly ghastly amount of death.
To tell the truth first floor even if I dont agree with you I do try to see the best in folks. I hope and pray for the best for everyone here.

Trump Republicans think the same way."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks on New York, and America’s declaration of a “Global War on Terror”, China followed suit and proclaimed its own war on religious extremism and terrorism in Xinjiang, and the region’s descent into violence and repression began. It has reached the scale of cultural genocide.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

After 9/11, China was given a green light, and this is where they've come to since.Originally posted by firstfloor View PostIn the aftermath of the September 11 attacks on New York, and America’s declaration of a “Global War on Terror”, China followed suit and proclaimed its own war on religious extremism and terrorism in Xinjiang, and the region’s descent into violence and repression began.

So do the Brits, or "did" if we're going to be scrupulous, and so do we.
We've justified our influence as in line with our founders' desires for self-determination, government "by the people and for the people," and for "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," reinforced by human rights initiatives and agreements we've succeeded in convincing others adopt as their own, with mixed success in implementation.
China is focused on the paired interests of public order and prosperity, reinforced by an increasingly despotic government, including recent changes that will likely make President Xi a president-for-life.
