Anyone else watch the show "For All Mankind"? It's set in an alternate 1960s where the Soviets landed first on the moon and the alternate space race that followed.

OK.

So the Communist party did not negotiate with the protestors?

So what's a lie? Not a single thing you say contradicts what that gentleman told me.

I had the opportunity of meeting someone who was present at Tiananmen Square - he had now become an American citizen. Told me how it was actually a very festive atmosphere when the protests started and that the Govt kept assuring them that they would negotiate in good faith. Till they sent in...

So did more people die in the Great Leap Forward or the Cultural Revolution?

You are entitled to your opinion and your frustrations which seem to result in your constant trolling. Such behavior might be acceptable in communist societies. It is frowned upon in the civilized, democratic world. Now get back on the topic.

If you can't handle facts, that's not my problem. You have a counter argument, present it. Now I request you to stop trolling and derailing every thread.

"Better get off"?? I realize that the Chinese under the CCP aren't used to civilized debate and difference of opinion. But you must realize that in the civilized, democratic world, you can't really push your PoV and expect the others to abide by it. You are free to post your narrative. Don't...

What a Catch-22 for Pak leadership. They can't afford to antagonize the Arabs. They can't antagonize the Islamists in their own country. Hara kiri either way.

Is it funded by the Communist regime or a firm owned by the Communist regime?

Why do you think it is not relevant enough to care about?

Of course the US is a bully. China is trying in vain to be one. That's the whole point.

There we go - https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/09/economy/china-debt-defaults-state-companies-intl-hnk/index.html It was bound to happen. There is only so far you can go far with an opaque accounting system

China basically thinks it is a genuine global power and can bully other nations like the US does or the UK has in the past. The Chinese belief is laughable because while it does have considerable leverage in African and Asian nations where it has invested heavily - it is a matter of time before...

This is a classic Communist playbook since the Soviet days. Also, while you blame the CCP and not the Chinese people, I think that is not fair. All societies have dissenters and those who stand vocally against such lies and policies. Doesn't even have to be a majoritarian view. Look at...
