Irony of Ironies: China Lectures US on Human Rights
[Victory Girls] No, I wasn’t being sarcastic with that title. China ‐ the land that has murdered literally millions of its own citizens since the 1950s, and whose "cultural revolution" alone killed as many as 1.5 million people in rural China ‐ has seen it fit to lecture America on human rights.Not from the Onion. China apparently considers itself to be a kinder, gentler regime that has gun control in order to protect human life, which they value oh-so-much! If the irony was any richer here, it would be Scrooge McDuck diving into a pool of money! A country that has for decades limited families to only having one child, resulting in the murder of millions of children, and that has "eased" that policy in recent years, graciously allowing families to have two kids (note the sarcasm in that statement), sees it fit to lecture us on human rights. A country that considers freedom of expression as a "privilege," and not a right, has the temerity to give us "advice"on human rights. A country that has the death penalty for 46 ‐ FORTY SIX ‐ different crimes, including drug trafficking, public disorder, bribery, endangering national security (which of course involves any criticism of the regime), and robbery (although apparently some reforms now take the death penalty off the table for people 75 years or older, so there’s that); has huge false conviction rates that often involve capital crimes; executed more than 1,600 prisoners in 2016 alone; and until 2014 had trafficked in organs from executed prisoners, has the balls to criticize our human rights record! In an editorial, titled, "China can offer lessons to US in protecting human rights," China’s state-run birdcage liner wagged a disapproving finger at the United States for "allowing" the citizens the right to keep and bear arms in light of the Parkland massacre, perpetuated by a psychotic murderer, whom the very government that statists and the Chinese (but I repeat myself) want to have a monopoly on force, failed to stop after numerous reports prior to the shooting!
