    Watch In The Name of the People.

    It’s a Chinese cop show, but instead of poor black people like in Amerika, they hunt down corrupt party officials and bourgeois scum circumventing Chinese law. It’s amazing and available for free with English subs on YouTube.

        It is literally propaganda, but could you explain to me how it is bad or negative propaganda?

        The overarching motifs of the show are that the Chinese state is committed to protecting the rights of the workers. Let me give you an example:

        In one arc, a factory owner hires mercenaries and dresses them up as cops in order to break a strike. In response, the anti-corruption bureau gets involved and arrests said mercenaries and demands a negotiation on behalf of the workers.

        Another arc is about a Chinese businessman who has been bribing corrupt party officials in order to push for a return to bourgeois rule. When his accomplices are arrested, he is ‘forced’ to flee to Amerika, where the only job he can land is one of manual labor - a janitor - making shit wages and experiencing great disrespect for that occupation. His Westaboo petit bourgeois son convinces him to do this, claiming that Amerika is the true land of opportunity.

        Arresting corrupt party officials and punishing bourgeois criminals are good things, or do you disagree?

      In early April 2020, Chinese authorities in the southern city of Guangzhou, Guangdong province, which has China’s largest African community, began a campaign to forcibly test Africans for the coronavirus, and ordered them to self-isolate or to quarantine in designated hotels. Landlords then evicted African residents, forcing many to sleep on the street, and hotels, shops, and restaurants refused African customers. Other foreign groups have enerally not been subjected to similar treatment.

        … said Yaqiu Wang, China researcher at Human Rights Watch.

        Great source.

        Elsewhere in China, some Africans reported police and local officials had harassed them, and hospitals and restaurants turned them away.

        Linked source is a guardian article talking about an irish person. Fuck isn’t that brilliant, HRW knows you illiterate morons won’t check. Not that ir’d much matter, there isn’t a single direct source on China force testing Africans or anything else. Just these orgs said this, diplomatic whatever that.

          Even if they did force check Africans, I’d check to see if they were in fact force checking everyone as that seems far more likely than targeting a single community for no reason.

          Though I forgot, USA #1, which means CHynabad. So clearly the US is racist as fuck, but CHina is even more racist, despite having no history of institutionalized racism, they bad guys, which means they must be more racist than the good guys!
