China has a long history of government by emperors and its society is structured according to family and clan groupings, or has been for a long time even if in more recent times that has changed a little.
Christianity arose in a society that was ruled by an emperor and had a history of kings as rulers. It was also a society based on tribes and extended family groupings. People lived in a community and dealt with matters as communities rather than as atomised individuals.
However, in contrast with China, western society, especially Anglo-Saxon society is far more individualistic nowadays, though a few centuries ago it was not so.
So, is China's approach to government as wicked as the media says it is; is democracy morally superior to CCP government, imperial government, or superior to autocratic government of various kinds?

This post is not an attempt to justify mistreatment of any groups in China or in any other nation. We can take as a given that mistreatment of people is morally bad.

How have the media exaggerated the "wicked" nature of the Beijing government?

That communist is bad. He wants to rewrite the Bible and Jesus' pic may not be in a church, but only his pic and they help that guy from North Korea, but is it the worst? I don't think so. The guys from the anglosaxon mission planned to create covid and laughed when they said China would catch a cold, because it was getting too powerful. Democracy sounds nice, but the antichrist comes from the revived Roman empire, which I think is Europe.

As I watch the news I see more and more stories claiming things about China that are not born out by the evidence. One example is the high altitude balloon that was shot down some months ago and which was claimed to be a spy balloon, after it was shot down the equipment under it was retrieved and after some weeks was said to be instruments consistent with a university's scientific research rather than some sophisticated spy aparatus.

"A Chinese spy balloon was found in the US carrying American-made equipment designed to collect photos, videos, and other information. The balloon carried commercially available US gear, along with more specialized Chinese sensors and other equipment to collect photographs, video, and other information to transmit to China. The balloon's solar arrays produced sufficient power to operate "multiple active intelligence collection sensors" and the antennas on the balloon could collect and geolocate communications, including radio and mobile phone signals."

Meteorologists pointed out that--

Weather balloons are about 20 feet across when aloft. According to one report, this balloon was "as big as three buses."

Weather balloons are only in the air for a 120 minutes or so and travel only about 100 miles. The U.S.A. tracked this one for days as it passed over almost half of the globe, and we all watched the news reports as they successively indicated that the balloon was over Montana, then the Plains states, then South Carolina, then exiting the USA and heading out over the Atlantic.

Weather balloons collect data on temperature and humidity, etc. and do it at about 60,000 feet. There seems to be agreement that this one was at that height when intercepted. But a weather balloon will shortly burst and release its instrument(s) on a parachute for recovery below. That didn't happen in this case.

I think the people of China are victims of the communist regime. The government is not filled with Christians and aren't they forbidden to believe? Is that evil?

I was reading somewhere that China was rewriting the bible so that it didn't teach anything that went against the communist party. That is evil. If somehow corporations could be kept out of our government, I think democracy would function a lot better. But the love of money...

China is not a Christian nation, never has been. It is Confucian and Buddhist and communist/atheist. Most western nations have Christian cultural influences that go back many centuries. Yet the west has been involved in a great many wars of aggression and even now the war between Russia (ostensibly an Orthodox nation) and Ukraine (another Orthodox nation) is a war of Russian aggression. China on the other hand is not currently involved in any wars. That, of course, does not make China good. But it is likely that western media is vilifying China.

"The RCMP is investigating reports of criminal activity related to so-called foreign “police” stations in Canada after a human rights group reported China is operating more than 50 such venues overseas, including three in the Greater Toronto Area." - City News

"For it was Justin Trudeau who had invited China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to send its troops for cold weather training at CFB Petawawa in Ontario — and when Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) cancelled the training following China’s kidnapping of Canadian citizens Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, we hear the prime minister ‘raged’ at the Canadian Armed Forces for doing so." - The Toronto Sun

Prime Minister Trudeau is on video stating that he admires China's dictatorship for its efficiency.

Many of us call our country Chinada!

Thank you for your message. I understand that you are asking a rhetorical question to challenge the idea that China is not evil or capable of doing evil. I respect your opinion, but I would like to offer a different perspective.

First of all, I think it is important to define what we mean by evil. Evil is a moral term that implies a deliberate intention to harm others or violate their rights. Evil is also relative and subjective, as different cultures and individuals may have different moral standards and values. Therefore, what one person or group considers evil may not be seen as evil by another person or group.

Secondly, I think it is unfair and inaccurate to label an entire country or nation as evil or good, based on the actions of some of its leaders, officials, or citizens. China is a vast and diverse country with over 1.4 billion people, who have different backgrounds, beliefs, opinions, and interests. China also has a long and rich history, culture, and tradition that cannot be reduced to a single stereotype or judgment. China has contributed to the world in many ways, such as in science, technology, art, literature, philosophy, and diplomacy. China has also faced many challenges and difficulties, such as poverty, corruption, pollution, human rights issues, and international conflicts. China is not a monolithic entity, but a complex and dynamic society that is constantly changing and evolving.

Thirdly, I think it is possible and desirable to have a constructive and respectful dialogue with China, rather than a hostile and confrontational one. China is an important global player that has significant economic, political, and military influence in the world. China is also a member of many international organizations and agreements that aim to promote peace, cooperation, and development. China has shown willingness and ability to work with other countries on common issues and challenges, such as climate change, trade, health, security, and human rights. China has also expressed its desire to improve its relations with other countries and regions, such as the United States, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Therefore, I think it is neither accurate nor helpful to say that China is evil or incapable of doing evil. Rather, I think it is more realistic and productive to acknowledge that China is a diverse and complex country that has both strengths and weaknesses, achievements and problems, opportunities and threats. I think it is also more beneficial and respectful to engage with China in a civil and rational manner, rather than in a hostile and emotional one. I think this way we can better understand each other’s perspectives and interests, find common ground and solutions, and build mutual trust and cooperation.

I hope this helps you see a different point of view.

That's true, and it hadn't been defined prior to our exchange. However, the idea that because China has not been influenced until recently by Western Civilization and so cannot be considered evil seems a weird one to me.

Evil is a moral term that implies a deliberate intention to harm others or violate their rights. Evil is also relative and subjective, as different cultures and individuals may have different moral standards and values.
When did genocide and removing bodily organs from living political prisoners in order for the government to sell them become part of the Chinese "culture" do you think?

Secondly, I think it is unfair and inaccurate to label an entire country or nation as evil or good, based on the actions of some of its leaders, officials, or citizens.
I took it that the question concerned the current government and its policies, not the people as a whole.

Therefore, I think it is neither accurate nor helpful to say that China is evil or incapable of doing evil.

I hope this helps you see a different point of view.
Thanks for your input.

There are several ways to engage with China in a civil and rational manner. One way is to focus on areas where there is common interest and low risk in engaging China to build multilateral cooperation (1). This approach recognizes that China is an important global player that has significant economic, political, and military influence in the world. It also acknowledges that China has shown willingness and ability to work with other countries on common issues and challenges, such as climate change, trade, health, security, and human rights. By identifying these areas of common interest and low risk, we can find ways to collaborate with China in a constructive and respectful manner.

Another way is to maintain open lines of communication with China without compromising fundamental values (2). Dialogue can serve to better define conflicts of interests, as an intelligence-collection mechanism, and to identify potential areas of cooperation. Dialogue also facilitates the creation of interpersonal bonds. It is important to maintain dialogue, even with adversarial nations. However, it is also important to maintain our fundamental values and principles, such as democracy, human rights, rule of law, and free speech. We should not compromise these values for the sake of dialogue or cooperation.

A third way is to engage China from a position of strength to cooperate on shared interests and incorporate China into an adapted rules-based system (2). This approach recognizes that China has assumed an important role in the international financial architecture, as both a member and builder of institutions. In recent years, China has pioneered the creation of two new regional multilateral development banks. Both the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the New Development Bank (NDB) are designed to complement the international financial architecture, proving that China can lead institutions, act as a major provider of development finance, and be a “responsible stakeholder” in a system created by the US and its allies (2). By engaging China from a position of strength, we can demonstrate the benefits of more fully participating in a rules-based global system, with the ultimate aim of China becoming a cooperative member of an adapted system.

But they put the Uighurs in camps and we're guilty too if we dismiss that for money. That's like doing business with Hitler when he had concentration camps. China is behind North Korea. Xi Jinping is sliming with Putin and he replaces Jesus in churches with his own face. There are great christians in China and overall I think the Chinese are funny sweet hard working people, but that government is evil, but so are more governments and the Western group that wants a world war doesnt want them to become too powerful.

Thank you for your message. I understand that you are making a statement about the situation of the Uyghurs in China. The Uyghurs are a mostly Muslim ethnic group that live in the north-western region of Xinjiang, China. According to human rights groups and first-hand accounts, China has been accused of committing crimes against humanity and possibly genocide against the Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang (1). More than one million Uyghurs are believed to be held in internment camps, where they are forced to study Marxism, renounce their religion, work in factories and face abuse (2). The Chinese government denies all allegations of human rights abuses in Xinjiang and says the camps are vocational training centres that aim to combat terrorism and extremism (3).

This is a very complex and sensitive issue that has attracted international attention and condemnation. I hope this helps you understand the background of your statement better.

I believe that you are from the Netherlands, many in CH are from the USA, while it is true that in China the government appears to be systematically persecuting Uyghur people we ought not be too hasty to take the moral high ground considering that in the USA race is used to profile and persecute people of colour. This is a very serious and important topic that affects millions of people in the United States and around the world. I will try to provide you with some information and facts based on the web search results I have found.

Racial profiling is the practice of targeting individuals for suspicion of crime based on their race, ethnicity, religion, or national origin. It is a form of discrimination that violates the human rights and civil liberties of people of colour. It also undermines the trust and cooperation between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Racial profiling can lead to harassment, humiliation, violence, false arrests, wrongful convictions, and even death (1).

According to Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union, racial profiling is a widespread and pervasive problem in the United States that affects people in African American, Native American, Asian, Pacific Islander, Latino, Arab, and Muslim communities (1). Racial profiling can occur in various contexts and settings, such as traffic stops, pedestrian stops, border checkpoints, airports, schools, workplaces, and public spaces(2) (3) (4).

Some examples of racial profiling in the United States are:

  • The disproportionate use of stop-and-frisk tactics by police officers in New York City, which targeted mostly Black and Latino men and resulted in millions of innocent people being searched without reasonable suspicion or probable cause (2).
  • The enactment of anti-immigrant laws in Arizona and other states, which authorized police officers to demand proof of legal status from anyone they suspected of being undocumented and encouraged racial profiling of Latinos and other immigrants (3).
  • The surveillance and infiltration of Muslim communities by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and local police departments after the 9/11 attacks, which violated their privacy and religious freedom rights and created a climate of fear and mistrust (4).
  • The mass incarceration of Black Americans, who are more likely to be arrested, convicted, and sentenced to harsher penalties than white Americans for similar offenses, due to racial bias in the criminal justice system (1).
  • The discrimination and violence against Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic, which was fuelled by racist rhetoric and misinformation that blamed them for the spread of the virus.
These are just some of the many examples of how race is used to profile and persecute people of colour in the United States. Racial profiling is not only unjust and harmful to individuals and communities, but also ineffective and counterproductive as a law enforcement strategy. It wastes resources, alienates potential allies, undermines public safety, and erodes the rule of law (1) (2) (3) (4).

Immoral actions by government paid law enforcement organisations and the individuals that they employ is a common factor in many lands and occurs regardless of the political make up of the government of the nations in which it occurs, the Chinese Communist Party appears to be engaged in discrimination against the Uyghur people in China's north west, the USA appears to engage in discrimination against Hispanic people in the USA's south west and against black people in many of the USA's major cities. Similar discriminatory practises exist in Europe and Australia and elsewhere in the world. None of this justifies discrimination but it does point out the difficulty faced by any one nation when it attempts to occupy "the moral high ground" while its own practises are discriminatory.

Yes a lot of countries are bad. America locked Torben Sondergaard up. Denmark wanted to steal his kids. Holland steals kids from parents, but America does that too, just differently. They just give the kids to the psycho parent who pays a corrupt money grabber.
But camps is more than that. We don't want Russian gas to not finance the war. I'm a hypocrit. I wear Chinese clothes cause they're cheap, but those guys are smart. They know Westerners are lazy and want their cheap stuff and meanwhile, letting their own slaves work, they get more and more power.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I understand that you feel conflicted about wearing Chinese clothes that are cheap but may be produced by workers who are not treated fairly. It is true that China is one of the largest producers and exporters of textiles and clothing in the world, and that many Western consumers benefit from the low prices and variety of Chinese-made products. However, it is also true that China has faced criticism and scrutiny for its labour practices, human rights record, and environmental impact .

It is important to recognize that the situation in China is complex and multifaceted, and that there are many different perspectives and opinions on how to address these issues. It is also important to acknowledge that China has made progress in some areas, such as poverty reduction, education, health care, and innovation. China has also faced many challenges and obstacles, such as corruption, inequality, pollution, and international tensions.

Therefore, I think it is possible and desirable to engage with China in a constructive and respectful manner, rather than to blame or stereotype an entire country or nation. We can do this by supporting ethical and sustainable practices in the fashion industry, such as fair trade, organic materials, recycling, and transparency. We can also do this by promoting cultural exchange, education, and dialogue between different countries and regions. By doing so, we can better understand each other’s perspectives and interests, find common ground and solutions, and build mutual trust and cooperation.

Not only China is to blame, but everyone who benefits from it. All those big companies go to countries with low wages, so they can make more money for themselves.
The whole world is bad. Not only China. Christianity there is better. At least not lukewarm. A Chinese christian, decades ago, when there was persecution, said that he rather lived there than in the West where it's easy to become lukewarm, because there is no persecution.

5 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! 2 Your riches [a]are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. 4 Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of [b]Sabaoth. 5 You have lived on the earth in pleasure and [c]luxury; you have [d]fattened your hearts [e]as in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you.

Not saying China is Babylon, but this is why you may not do trade with a country with an oppressive regime, like Saudi Arabia too. Who cares if they kill christians. As long as we have money.

The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’

11 “And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: 12 merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13 and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.

China is a hardcore communist country. Communism is estimated by some to have caused the deaths of more than 100 million people worldwide. Communism has proven itself to be a failed ideology. It has seeped into every corner of our society and we are currently going through a communist cultural revolution.
I think it was Larry Fink of BlackRock who said that communism is the most efficient form of society. I just watched an older video that described the process that a country goes through in becoming a communist state. It was hair-raising. We are going through everything it described this process. To a tee. Someone is reading a Marxist (communist) handbook.
The global elite want control of us so that they can profit from our enslavement. I say enslavement because that is what communism is. Since I know that I'm just passing through life in this world, I'm no too concerned for me. It's my kids and grandkids that I worry about.
The BIS (the Bank for International Settlements) has their central bank digital currency ready to be installed when the time is right. The BIS is a group or association of central banks from around the world. They are wanting there to be a one-world government. They have a microchip which they want everyone to have injected into their hand. I've seen the videos in the last week. This stuff is real.
