    Agreed. The best way to learn is by getting to know and talking to people from cultures/countries you are questioning rather than getting information from talking heads on TV and radio.

    The TRUTH hurts and I for one am glad China has severely overreacted and exposed themselves even further!!!

    Let's GTFO and open new markets with like minded countries and like minded fans. Let them watch their below the rim, shitty skills, awful basketball, they deserve it!

    Many have forgotten what the Stasi is or does, or they heard the name but didn't know how bad.

    At least you didn't say Secret Police of the Nazis.

    Many have, I have not.

    At least they didn't have face recognition tools, and inserted spy apps on citizens' phones. :rolleyes:

    Modern stasi government 100%.

    People are paranoid, so it would be good taking away the power but calm them down.

    I would love to help you open your eyes. :)

    Start by reading this for an overview
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_harvesting_from_Falun_Gong_practitioners_in_China
    to see how many countries around the world have taken measures against China's medical field that uses harvested organs for transplats on the regular.

    Then watch the documentary Human Harvest.

    Only a brainwashed person would ever say it's good to take away the power from the people.

    Well, good thing I said take way the power from the High Officials, Politicians.

    As I said, I personally voted several parties in Europe, it is a Circle Jerk, less is accomplished.

    It is a rotation of parties in the Government. Only the Green party was efficient but they are more about plants than people.

    One guy even conspired with a fake Russian oligarch and that was known as Ibiza Scandal!

    My neighbor has no interest on neither China-US issue nore Morey's twitter. The only thing you can find they care and related to NBA is Rui Hachimura....

    Protesting is free speech. Riots are a different story but in my experience riots don't take place unless without a whole lot of injustice and inequality. P.S. We are a country that was practically founded by a riot. The Boston Tea Party.

    I trust them and I trust all the watchdogs and human rights groups who report on it. I also trust MATH.

    You said you want to get educated but here you are outright dismissing it. Guess you never really wanted to learn anything.

    I got you. I understand what you say. The base of China and US is different, but most of the ppl they don't care at all what is China's base.

    Everyone trying to be super woke. Making excuse after excuse. Making thread after thread.

    You are allowed to have an opinion and it not cause an international debacle. All these ppl who are catching feeling over it are being extra.

    I know too much more about Falun Gong than you. You read docs, I was there, even just 8 years old but I do remember. You never know how many families are ****ed off by them.

    If you believe what they said, I couldn't debate with you. You will keep saying I am brainwashed. So I quit before we start that.
    Trust whatever you trust. I came here for showing whatever I know. I am not coming to convincing you. It's your freedom.
