Interestingly the US with a population of 300 million has 2 million in gulags whereas China has a population 3 times the size with almost half that number in gulags.

Statistically you are far less likely to end up in a gulag in China than you are in the US.

Lets say some of the US gulags have their own issues

Cabin fever rant incoming...

In return for cheap manufacturing, the West has so far "overlooked" China being a horrible dictatorship. The PRC has, reportedly, 2 million Muslims in camps, terrible human rights, working conditions from hell - the usual totalitarian features. Meanwhile the Western political class and media has been bought off and hasn't a bad word to say about the PRC.

And I'm as guilty as the next man - buying lots of shiny Chinese goods while preferring not to think about the slaves who made them, about suicide nets, about misery and non existent H&S.

This virus is Communism's latest gift to the world. If/when it is over, China will have to change and so will the attitude of the rest of the world. If China reforms and moves towards openness and democracy as a result, that will be a positive thing.

The Don makes a faux pas and within 48 hours Auntie has given it 8 times as much coverage as Chinese people in gulags ? The Guardian twice as much ? That's with my filter bubble of course. Try it with yours...

oh and searching for "who" is tricky as it's a common word but

So do you still think that the media hasn't a bad word to say about the PRC? Because you seem to have change tack.
