I’ll be sure to pick up my copy of the peoples daily to read about those statistics in the morning.

And in China the state can harvest your organs for political crimes or even just being the wrong religion.

Not quite the same.

I think you're going to need to provide sources for such an outrageous and unbelievable claim.

I was curious as this is something commonly mentioned in all sorts of western media.

CCP bot award

For asking questions, on Hacker News?

I think not.

Yes and the Chinese president personally performs the operation.

Holy crap...

Do you really trust China’s stats on prison population?

Note: you can have this conversation criticizing the US on a US website. Try criticizing Xi or the CCP or calling him Pooh on a Chinese website.

You think China doesn’t imprison drug users?

China recently executed a low level drug trafficker

China is one of the top executioners. China executes more than rest of the world combined

You think China is honest about political prisoners in Tibet and Xinjiang?

Criticize the US all you want but I can’t understand the whitewashing of a real totalitarian and genocidal state like mainland China.

Both can be totalitarian. Both are shit imho. I just don't buy the argument that China is worse because of it.

But if we start nitpicking the US also executes people all over the world without trial and has secret prisons worldwide where they put people (guess what) without trial.
