A Million People Are Jailed at China's Gulags. I Managed to Escape. Here's What Really Goes on Inside

I wonder how the Chinese bishops are able to operate under these conditions.

But China is a member of the UN Human Rights Council, so they must be doing OK

The one good thing that China did which we should emulate:

“Justin Beaver banned from China in order to purify nation.”

I’m thinking that you’re referring to Germany.

If Germany was more like modern day China and didn’t invade the other European countries and kept to itself all the while engaging in fruitful trade with the other countries, the concentration camps would continue to run.

 

[Sarcelle]

How about we stop trading with China? Like full on cold turkey. Maybe we strenuously encourage others to do the same?

Like an embargo?

Corporate interests wouldn’t allow that and we know it’s corporations that run the U.S.

China is a source of cheap manufacturing labor.

Very many processes of life are completely dependent on money, creating money with an existential idol and a measure of all things.

Food for thought:

“Without adjusting for financial woes, children reduced happiness. But when financial hardship wasn’t a factor, having children increased happiness, the study determined.”
The depressing reason why having kids doesn’t actually make you happier - MarketWatch

Additional reading (that makes the food for thought even more concerning):

“Not only is this not the American Dream, it’s the antithesis of the American Dream. It’s the old feudal order where you’re born into your privilege (or lack thereof) and forced to just hope things don’t get any worse.”
“By almost every major statistical measurement, the average American is worse off than they were a generation ago. Some pundits have taken to blaming the younger generations”

Recently I was watching - “Into the wild”, the movie actually explains why so many people are turning from the reality of life to different forms of escapism and abnormal ways of life.
By the way, the main personage of the movie was inspired by Leo Tolstoy as well. I think that Russian literature of 18-19 century paved the road to Marxism / Communism, to the idea of equality/fraternity.
But what is interesting that escapism from harsh reality of life did not save the main hero of the film “Into the Wild” from much worst reality.
We know that Bolshevik idea of equality eventually brought hundreds of millions victims .
Yes, I agree that Hollywood promotes a fake vision of Western Paradise, but changes in many Eastern Asian countries ( Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, others) testify that capitalism with freedom, with human face makes the changes for better life of the population.

China of big cities programming peoples way of life to anti-family, anti-child mentality. Tenths of millions of males who during their life can not afford the flat can’t dream about building the family. Its a world for the rich, but majority of poore people can only exist by surviving with different forms of sins.
