What Is It That We Need China For?

This is what the Chinese communist government does to its own people:

Chinese Vice Premier Hu Chunhua recently asked the governors of each province in China to make sure the sown areas of agricultural crops would not shrink and crop yield won’t be reduced this year.

At a food security meeting held in Beijing on July 27, he warned that governors would be punished if they failed to uphold the promise, including with dismissals.

And when Chinese leader Xi Jinping visited northeastern Jilin Province on July 22, he told the local government to treat grain production as a priority task.

The top officials’ emphasis on food supplies raised questions about whether China is facing a severe food shortage this year.

 

Why does this sound familiar? 

 

 

Cheats and thieves:

Hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars went to Chinese companies from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which was designed to help small businesses survive during the pandemic, according to a new report.

A review of public PPP loan data by consultancy firm Horizon Advisory found that $192 million to $419 million in loans were given to more than 125 Chinese-owned or -invested companies operating in the United States. Many of the loans were substantial, with at least 32 Chinese-owned firms receiving more than $1 million under the program, totaling between $85 million and $180 million, it found.

The recipients included Chinese state-owned enterprises, companies that supported Beijing’s military development program, firms identified by the United States as national security threats, and media outlets controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the report said. Many were based in critical industries such as aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor manufacturing. These are sectors that the CCP has slated for aggressive development to achieve global dominance, with the goal of supplanting competitors in the United States and other countries.

 

Like Canada, for example.

 

 

I wouldn't let the Chinese military complex inject me with poison: 

Saudi Arabia will soon begin Phase III clinical trials on around 5,000 people for a COVID-19 vaccine developed by China’s CanSino Biologics Inc, a Saudi health ministry spokesman said on Sunday.

The West ignored the massacre at Tienanmen Square. Why think that anything would change?:

On Monday, Hong Kong police arrested media tycoon Jimmy Lai and raided his flagship newspaper offices, the highest-profile case yet against the city’s democracy activists under a national security law that has fueled U.S.-China tensions.

Lai was shown handcuffed as he was taken away by officers from his home on August 10. When a reporter asked Lai for his views on the arrest, he answered: “What views do I have? They want to arrest me.”

Canada’s largest-circulation Chinese-language newspaper recently rejected a full-page ad criticizing the new Hong Kong national security law and one of the law’s Canadian supporters, raising new concerns about a pro-Beijing slant in Chinese-Canadian media.

A loose collection of 40 or so pro-democracy activists had been willing to spend $3,000 to purchase the spot in Sing Tao, a newspaper half-owned by Torstar, the Toronto Star’s parent company, said two of the activists.

 

Then use the Toronto Star as the bird cage liner it actually is. 

 

Also - where are the statue removers on slave and child labour?:

Chinese textile firms are increasingly using North Korean factories to take advantage of cheaper labor across the border, traders and businesses in the border city of Dandong told Reuters.

The coronavirus pandemic is forcing India’s children out of school and into farms and factories to work, worsening a child labor problem that was already one of the most dire in the world.
