In other words, a clear admission of abducting children from their parents.

Dang, scientists only know now one of Muse's iconic songs.

Oh I don't doubt that there are hundreds of videos like this that aren't propaganda. The problem is, the Chinese government has one of the largest propaganda 'machines' in the world. Its the whole reason that we are having this conversation in the first place. Theres so much doubt about what's real and whats not.

One of the things I've noticed in some of the videos I've watched since we started this thread, (not just the one you linked, but a couple others too) is that the people being interviewed are in what I would call the 'top 5-10%'. They all tend to be wearing rather nicely made, fashionable and expensive looking clothing/jewelry and accessories. Now keep in mind, 5-10% of China is like 50,000,000 to 100,000,000+ people. These people of course are going to be far better educated and more knowledgeable of the outside world. The same 'percentage' bias exists in every country, thats nothing new. Its just that its a bit easier to find them when there's like a hundred million of them. The other thing about this group of people, is that most of their families can afford private schooling. Private schooling teaches a lot more accurately than the public system. The public school system in China is basically ra ra China good other countries bad.

I would still say thats not representative of the average person. Again, I'm leaning on my experience of actually having traveled quite a bit of China. There are a significant percentage of people in China who might only have 2 or 3 pairs of clothing and live in what basically amounts to a hovel. While they might have a computer, its usually running COS (China Operating System) and that OS is so heavily information controlled its comparable to what you would expect someone in North Korea to be using. It is heavily locked down, and when you go to a website that you can access with say an iPhone, it may have different content depending on what the Chinese government has decided that website should actually have. The website will look the same at first glance, but things will be altered to fit the government narrative.

Thanks for the update on the children you kidnapped

Well that's a lie.

You are missing the distinction between codified civil law and common law. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law

Laws get written, then people try to find loopholes and beneficial interpretations, then judges decide if you get away with it.

The black hole will have swallowed us by then.

Remember the rule: Russia always lies.

Actually it's pulling everything everywhere towards it. But I feel like that's your point

Right. Just like Russia is not planning to invade Ukraine.

Hear me out.

Maybe stop invading ukraine and withdraw back to your own borders. Then it will be safe to return the children.

Calling those 2 failed states is so stupid. Just because we dont like them, doesnt mean they are failed states.

What was the public and/or medical establishment access to the text of the bill before it was passed? Were there opportunities to raise objections prior to its passing?

Underrated post
