Unfortunately, China should be excluded from democratic free world until it is. The CCP continues to steal tech and fake reforms while committing atrocities against its own ppl. Until when? The totalitarian axis overpowers free democratic countries?

In case you didn’t see it

The CCP will fall. Very soon

...Guessing there exists no other platform? And UR ok with China stealing intellectual property?

Extreme thoughts are spreading in American politics. The people at the bottom are always injured!
