Yeah, I guess.

I am torn because so much of China-bashing (especially from the left) is just protectionism (of unions) with a thin veil of the human rights issues.

That, and the left’s support of the Dali Llama is because he’s a pagan. You don’t see anything similiar for Jews or Christians that have equivalent or worse oppression.

(I do heartily recognize legitimate beefs with China: e.g., military threat, support of the Norks and the resulting spread of nukes, forced abortions, etc. Again, I AM NO FAN.)

Their opression of Christians, and anyone else who is not a loyal commie.

Commies make me sick. I know it’s trendy for some on the left to protest on behalf of Tibet or whatever, but genuinely the Chinese have this coming.

The left may not oppose China for the same reasons you do, but in this case, we should be united. The CCP is one of the great murderous regime in the history of mankind, its atrocities almost innumerable. Nazi Germany had nothing on these guys.

This is a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" type situation if I've ever seen one. I actually think it's kinda nice to have an issue the left and right both agree on.

Uh try Buddist.
