| > Would the inner circle members of CCP leadership realistically face the same prosecution and sentencing, if they were to be caught doing the same? The west is inundated with simplistic anti-chinese propaganda, so you would never perceive it as such, the way it would be presented to you in the west is as the evil dictator Xi Jingping purging his opposition, for instance: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-41670162 |

| Correct, so long as there is a state controlled media and no independent media and we can only speculate on where people who have “disappeared” from public view are, this is exactly the position everyone should hold. This is single party autocracy, no matter how much people cry about propaganda. |

In the simple mind of the western chauvinist this rich five thousand year old culture and complex society with good and bad, gets flattened into antagonistic slogans like "single party autocracy". You don't understand how calling you a victim of propaganda is me being charitable, I could've also called you a typical western ignorant sinophobe. | | |

So spare me the crocodile tears. Single party rule and state controlled media with one of the most sophisticated censorship infrastructure in the world has exactly one simple goal. | | |
