President-for-life Xi Jinping Facing Massive Pushback From the CCP, Insider Claims
A former professor at China’s elite Central Party School has issued an unprecedented rebuke of the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping, accusing him of “killing a country” and claiming that many more want out of the ruling Chinese Communist party.
Cai Xia, a prominent professor who taught at the school, a higher education institution for top officials, was expelled from the party on Monday after an audio recording of remarks she made that were critical of Xi was leaked online in June. She is no longer in China. The school said in a notice that Cai, a professor at the party school since 1992, had made comments that “damaged the country’s reputation” and were full of “serious political problems”.
In her first interview[*] with English-language media since her expulsion, Cai told the Guardian she was “happy to be expelled”.

So, the secret police in the USSR / Nazi Germany, those weren't so terrible as far as human rights are concerned? As far as Human Rights are concerned, just go ask China about the Uighurs. Sure, the US populace's overall view of Muslim people took a sharp nose dive when 9/11 happened. Yet, we didn't round every Muslim up into "re-education" camps for the "good of us all". People in general in the USA take our freedoms for granted.

Remember to call the overseer "Sir" and always speak politely to the Masters wearing suits. There's a concrete slab in a 10x10 cell waiting for anyone who dares to step out of line.

Seems like that would fit China just as well, if not more so.
People complain about the federal police taking people off the street in Portland, but those same people turn a blind eye to China disappearing its' own citizens. It's quite obvious. https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/25/asia/fan-bingbing-back-china/index.html [cnn.com]

I felt that your sentence needed a fix. Unlike China, or the Soviet, or East Germany, no one has disappeared from the streets of Portland, never to be heard from again.

Why should American citizens give a damn about what China does? Our own government is a much bigger threat to us. China being China isn't surprising or alarming, it's just the status quo.

Because, for the last decade or two, we've kept offshoring our manufacturing to China. Which continues to hurt us. Turning a blind eye to things that happen in China, because they're not us, is nuts. We should care that their citizens are being disappeared, that many Chinese people are trapped in slave like conditions in manufacturing complexes, and that we are supporting the abuse of Chinese citizens.
