So... nobody is going to ask why is the French Army in Africa?
Singapore is known for being an authoritarian nanny state and now we are calling them a "western liberal democracy" and taking credit for their success.

Also, Hong Kong never had democracy under British rule. All 28 Hong Kong governors were British residents who were picked by London and parachuted into their jobs.

It's funny seeing Singapore, Korea and Japan labelled as a "Western Liberal Democracy" and taking credit for their success.

Guess which other countries have democracy? India, Philippines, Indonesia.

The worrying part is the American public keeps falling for the same tricks: Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, Syria has chemical weapons, Gaddafi's soldiers supposedly issued viagra for raping women, voting Bush for second term, etc.

I have no doubt these countries have done horrible things, but they do not deserve to be invaded and subjected to millions of civilian deaths.

Literally my first comment on this topic? Not sure where you are getting the "same thing over and over again”.

I'm done here too. Thanks for the constructive discussion.

The articles do not offer much in the way of evidences. This is understandable since the authoritarian nature of China makes it hard to gather any evidence in the first place. I remain skeptical over the fact that Uighurs (Caucasians) and ethnic Chinese (East Asians) are genetically different and the recipient's body is very likely to reject the organ.
Genuine question: is there any proof for organ harvesting of Uighurs yet? A quick Google search on "Uyghur organ harvesting" leads to me tabloid sources and calls for investigations.

Uighurs are Turkic people who are genetically different from ethnic Chinese. Transplant recipients must have similar genes in their immune systems to those of the donor. Otherwise, the body will reject the organ. This is also why blacks have a harder time finding organ donors: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2013/01/21/blacks...

The video is still up though: https://www.tiktok.com/@getmefamouspartthree/video/676265754...

I'm holding judgment until further evidence that this is not another accusation equivalent to Iraq's WMD or Syria's chemical weapons in this trade war with China.

Back in late 2017, RenTec made an unusual move of raising capital to capitalize on "market opportunities arising from Trump’s presidential victory":

By Occam's razor, it is more likely that Robert Mercer made use of his close ties with Trump administration to gain insider knowledge, than RenTec consistently having superior quantitative analysis than their competitors in an extremely competitive and saturated industry.
