re: #2 SpaceJesus
In the US, you are released from prison when there is overcrowding. In China, you are moved to a room full of computers and beaten until you can’t see straight if you don’t play video games on them. This is of course, after you have been working in a fucking coal pit all day.
Don’t forget the organ harvesting.
I have a great love of Chinese history and much of the culture, but China has never been a place where human dignity carried much freight.
