    To be fair, we have no idea how many COVID infections or deaths China had or how many prisoners they have. It isn’t like they are the most transparent with either matter.

    Everything else he said checks out. 🇺🇲

      We have 2 million prisoners for 330 million people.

      They claim 1.6 million prisoners for their 1.4 billion people.

      Even if it were double what China claims, per capita we keep far more of our people in bondage, because we found and disgustingly prioritize the private profit in it. More prisoners for private for profit prisons, and more slave labor leased out to for profit corporations.

      We put people in cages using any excuse to increase quarterly earnings expectations for our sociopath class. “Land of the free,” Lo fucking L.

          At this point I trust their government and our government equally.

          As an American, I would take the word of any single European union member nation over the word of both China and the US claiming anything in unison.
