    They did suppress early reports on the coronavirus by Chinese medical personnel and scientists, allowing the (initially localised) epidemic to grow into a worldwide pandemic due to belated and half arsed response pretty much everywhere.

    Also, China is spiraling increasingly towards a fascist regime as well. Their “communist” party is communist in nothing but name.

      You can* be communist alongside being authoritarian without necessarily being fascist. What makes you say they’re spiralling towards that?

          Yeah fair, the privately-owned corporations is definitely counter to communist ideology. I think the ethnic cleansing has always been around in a sense. Religion has been suppressed, as has languages other than mandarin, like cantonese.
