Just Like U.S. Democrats, Chinese Communists Are Compiling Dissident Lists
I never thought that my adopted home, the land of the free, would so soon start sounding like the one-party dictatorial state I left behind.By Helen Raleigh

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is reportedly in the process of creating a global blacklist of critics who have supported or funded the freedom and democracy movement in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
