    I love when tankies question the reliability of the witnesses, and then with the same breath post something from the Pyongyang Times.

      I don’t like to use ad hominem when it comes to news, I generally read Western sources and other sources because everything has a bias, you need to recognize which bias is portraying and disect the information. Regardless, RFA is literally an organ to spread anticommunist propaganda that simply “disbanded” from its origins in order to clean its name, but in reality it is still part of the propaganda organ of the US. It is not something that could have interests shared by the US but something that literally wouldn’t mind lying blatantly just to cause dissent with enemies of the West.

      Or are you telling me you seriously believe Yeonmi Park and that North Koreans push their trains?

      By all means please, if what China is doing is as the West portrays it, please, I would really like to be a diplomatic solution to it, but find actual evidence that doesn’t come from a CIA outlet or Adrian “The Nazis were victims of communism” Zenz.

      I personally am not a tankie at all. And I share no delusions about the supposed virtues of the USSR or think China is at all run by decent people. I also think the ethnic cleansing in Xinxiang is happening. But Radio Free Asia is literally an arm of the state department and the original RFA was actually run by the CIA until it was remade by Clinton.
