CHINA SOUND FAMILIAR? DICTATORSHIP WANTING MORE TERRITORY? JAILING A MINORITY?
Does China remind you of any other dictatorship since, say, 1939? It hates democracy and free speech. It’s rapidly built up its military. It’s jailed a despised ethnic group (Uyghurs). It’s ultranationalist and wants to reconquer territory (Taiwan, South China Sea) that it claims belongs to the fatherland. It even has its Poland — Hong Kong.
