A colleague is now receiving angry emails from a Chinese supplier demanding that he purchase Chinese made Irrigation Pumps. I suggested he reply with ... 去他妈的你自己

I just watched it. Some of the things he claims is false. It was this current government that abolished the one child policy. Xi took office in March 2013. One child policy was turned into two child in 2015. Law was passed in 2016. Even now, you can have more than 2 child, but I think you have to pay additional taxes. I'm not convinced on death buses, maybe 30 years ago, but not now.
Starving their people 20 years ago? Maybe 20 years ago, but the current regime is pulling their people out of poverty. They aren't doing this to impress the west. In the last 20-30 years they have pulled 300 million out of poverty, and haven't really boasted about it.
Again, I'm not defending them, there a lot of wrongs, but facts are facts.
