    The amount of racist copium in this article is insane.

    Cheng Lei, an Australian journalist who was recently released after serving three years in prison in China on charges of endangering national security, has described China as a “locked paradise” where prosperity and technological prowess help whitewash the abuses of authoritarianism.

    Oh no, the evil seeseepee is bribing people with a good life to keep their power, literally 1984, oh no wait people get poorer and poorer in that book, literally Brave New World!!!1!

    Is there a limit to the intellectual dishonesty these MSM rags can put out?
