Human rights and labor activists are voicing outrage that the Patrick administration could soon award a staggering $1.3 billion subway contract to a rail enterprise owned by the repressive Communist Chinese government, saying the deal would be a “terrible disgrace.”

“If the left-leaning Massachusetts blue staters love to boycott things that break the wrong way on issues of rights, why does China get a pass on all of that?” said Tom Cushman, a human rights activist and professor at Wellesley College.

“If the left-leaning Massachusetts blue staters love to boycott things that break the wrong way on issues of rights, why does China get a pass on all of that?”

Kind of a dumb question.

Good time to push back on Chinese for what they are doing in Hong Kong.

“If this were an entity that was known to be hostile toward transgendered people or gay people or who violated the rights of minorities, people would be up in arms.."

New Jersey's license plates sport the slogan “Garden State”.New Hampshire's sport the state motto,"Live Free Or Die" (the focus of a SCOTUS case about 40 years ago).Our’s say “The Spirit Of America” when they should read “The Spirit Of Communist China”.
