The Real China-II: The Utterly Arbitrary Left

Let me tell you some more stories about China, the country the Democrats want America to mimic.

I still talk to a lot of people in China, mostly former students (I lived there from 2011-2022).  One of them recently told me that after she finished her Master’s degree this summer, she wanted to take the Civil Service exam to get a government job. The government wouldn’t let her take the exam because her father (not her) was a member of a Christian prayer group. The Chinese government claims all religious believers are “afflicted with thought viruses.”  Matters have “significantly deteriorated since last year,” said Nury Turkel, chair of the U.S. Commission of International Religious Freedom.  Religious groups in China have been “ruthlessly persecuted.”

That’s a Leftist, totalitarian government.

Personally, I was twice denied a work visa renewal. Both schools I worked for wanted me to stay and there was no reason, health or otherwise, why I should leave.  The government, arbitrarily, wanted me gone.  So gone I was.  Why I went back to other jobs the gods only know.

That is a Leftist, totalitarian government.

The Dems want to emulate China. Many dictatorships have been leftist.

Slavery, by whatever "re-definined" term they choose to describe it with, will always be slavery.
