    Who’s with me?
    Why not just consume less stuff, full stop? Kills 2 birds with one stone. Helps save the planet and fecks over PRC.
    Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

        Good on the Grauniad for reporting that, even just one story a month ago. *Generally* it is still true that the Western media gives China a free pass. As well as helping us ignore the horrors of the Chinese regime, our news outlets repeat CCP statements without caveat. Blind eye on China, angry eye on Washington...

            2 articles in March. 5 in February. 2 in January.

            And here is the BBC: Uighurs - BBC News

            And the Telegraph: Uighurs - The Telegraph

            NYT: Uighurs - The New York Times

              The Financial Times have been covering the Uighurs and their plight for years.

              Pay £1 for a four week trial and go and search for their articles of the past year... the monitoring of cities containing tens of millions of inhabitants is as impressive as it is insane.

                You do see the irony of your post, don't you?

                  Dangerous place when it kicks off there, as I have personally witnessed.

                  You don't want to have a car accident there for example
                  Or be a young woman who gets gang raped!

                    No doubt unixman will now revise his views on Western media.
