China is an evil empire. Period. Full stop. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
Anyone who overlooks what they're doing right now (and will only continue to do) is either completely ignorant of history, woefully naive, or complicit in the power grab.
Whatever the totalitarian concerns about Soviet Union might've been are fully realized in the Chinese Empire.
To ignore the threat to human civilization that is China, is to court the utter ruin of Western Civilization.
