    You could learn one very important thing from them : "the problem is not with the "ism" , re communism vs capitalism .

If the world was a contest between capitalism and communism , then China has already wiped your arse , and are now using you to lean up the mess you have created.

    Communist China Tech Firm Huawei Hires Democrat Lobbyist Tony Podesta For Biden Connections.....


    Democrat lobbyist Tony Podesta is joining Huawei, a Chinese firm known for kowtowing to nations adversarial to the U.S. and maintaining close relations with the Chinese Communist Party, as a consultant to help the tech giant push an agenda on the Biden administration.


    According to a report in Politico, Podesta will use his experience and influence in Washington to convince the White House and other U.S. policymakers to lend a listening ear to Huawei’s goals, despite the company’s track record in facilitating surveillance states. Podesta’s former company previously represented the China-United States Exchange Foundation, a CCP-linked company that tried to fund events in the U.S.


    Instead, he plans to use his sway to gain ground with other clients in addition to Huawei......snip~

    LMAO.....So much for China wiping anyones ass. Of course Ivan Mao here can't even figure out why China wants to kiss some US ass.

    It's not "a contest between capitalism and communism" per se but a contest, so to speak, as to which system works, which system brings prosperity within any given nation. China is succeeding where other communist states have failed because it is adopting capitalism albeit state capitalism.

    SO you hate the US, that has nothing to do with the topic or the point I made in my post.

    But life expectancy is higher in the USA than China.

    Your point has no validity.



    And we get to live our lives with more freedom. That was until Biden took office.


    Shouldn't you be posting in China? Or are free forums not allowed in China where you can say something bad about the Chinese Government?


    I notice a lot more anger in your writings. How long has it been since you won a talking point?

    When is it going to be in good shape?

    Are the people protesting because things are just to damn good?

    At least try to be a good propagandist.

    The people are protesting because US interests have people on the ground there , agitating and organizing the protests . Are you stupid ? The US is doing this kind of agitation all over the world while you watch and get fooled by it . They just did it in Belarus . Few years back they did it in Hong Kong.....riots social unrest destruction etc etc . It's happening big time in Myanmar and in Iran.......it's another US epidemic .......they even did it last week in Australia , trying to cause trouble over anti-lockdown protests . This kind of sick minded garbage just keeps on flowing out of America........America is one very ill society .......and the whole world has just about had a gut-full of it.
