Another Christian missionary reveals horrors of Chinese Communist Party

The Toronto Star has a story in the Insight section today; "Can't stay silent on oppression of Uyghurs."

We meet Andrea and Gary, NGO workers from small-town Manitoba, who spent ten years doing poverty alleviation in Xinjiang. "They are now speaking out about the horrors they witnessed..."

Among the horrors they witnessed were Muslim girls being forced to remove their head-coverings at a flag-raising ceremony. Oh, the beastliness of that depraved communist regime! Who can even imagine such a thing?

Almost reminds one of Quebec!

The most interesting thing about the story is that Joanna Chiu and Jeremy Nuttall completely gloss the fact that Andrea and Gary went to China as missionaries, now known as "holistic development workers" in do-gooder babble. When the Lord called them back to Manitoba to run the Mennonite Heritage Village, this bio appeared on the local news site.

This is not an oversight, but a deliberate strategy. Would our knowing that these whistle-blowers were Christian missionaries enhance or diminish the credibility of the story? I think the vast majority of readers would assume that such people are predisposed to show godless communism in the worst possible light.

As journalism, this is pretty slip-shod stuff.

As propagandists, Chiu and Nuttall made the right call.

Why we must humiliate China

In China, the government provides homes, health care, and jobs, but not much in the way of US-style "freedom and democracy." In America, it's the other way around. 

In America, if your job was sent to China and your house has been foreclosed, at least you've still got freedom and democracy. Freedom to pitch a tent on the sidewalk, and a democracy which, according to its apologists, is the envy of the world.

When America celebrated the "end of history" some thirty years ago, a tsunami of hubris and triumphalism overwhelmed the ruling class. Capitalism had prevailed! The free world, led by the USA, was now unchecked in sharing its freedom and democracy world-wide!

And we did. We brought freedom and democracy to Kosovo, to Afghanistan, to Iraq, to Libya, and to Syria, earning the enmity of hundreds of millions who remain convinced their lives were better before we bestowed our gifts upon them.

Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist Party, having missed the memo on the end of history, quietly doubled down on the treacherous communist policy of putting the needs of their people first. Instead of squandering hundreds of billions on foreign wars, they invested in infrastructure, education, and health care. 

As China prospered, lifting hundreds of millions of her citizens out of poverty, America was going in the opposite direction, plunging tens of millions of Americans into poverty. Infrastructure was neglected. Public education was deliberately starved of funding. Universal health care remains impossible in the world's richest economy. America's many wars of choice forced millions of refugees from their bombed out shit-hole countries into Europe, there to return the favour by turning our NATO allies into shit-hole countries.

And here we are today. The club of true believers in American Exceptionalism shrinks daily. World-wide, anyone with eyes to see and a brain to process it would be hard-pressed to choose the US model as the one to emulate. China, on the other hand, looks better all the time!

That, my friends, is why it is essential for freedom-loving nations to humiliate China. If they're allowed to get away with providing housing, health care, and education to everyone who wants it, pretty soon other countries will be tempted to follow their path, thereby denying even more people freedom and democracy.

Enough is enough!

Freedom and democracy for Hong Kong!

Freedom and democracy for Taiwan!

FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY FOR EAST TURKESTAN NOW!!!
