Thank you, gentlemen for your comments. One last whinge:I report things that my Chinese citizen wife and other courageous Chinese citizens cannot report in their own country. They are grateful for my efforts to publicise abroad what they can never hope to publicise at home. You know the reasons why. Think Liu Xaiobo, Ai Weiwei, and the hundreds of courageous dissidents who are incarcerated. Don't give up on China. I repeat: there are many courageous people here who deserve support rather than abandonment. I've been here since 2003. I know China, and I know what I am doing. Cheers, fellers.

Brian, there are none so blind as those who will not see!
You think one solitary voice in the wilderness would or did stop Stalin? And given the results this historical megalomaniac was responsible for, what chance do you believe you and your Chinese wife have? Certainly, nothing like the chance the entire population of Tibet had nor those on a very disturbed Hong Kong island! Would that Xi Jiping was a benign dictator that loved his people and country more than he loves absolute power! And we all know, that if power corrupts then absolute power absolutely corrupts. For the last time, Get the hell out of there. You cannot help if you find yourself or your wife in a "reeducation" camp! As for all the good people they need to be those at the forefront of a popular peoples revolt. and needs to be entirely internal and from the Chinese people. And If you know as much as you claim, about China and her peoples and their position and sentiment? You would already be homeward bound! Alan B. Posted by Alan B., Saturday, 3 August 2019 11:31:12 AM

"reeducation" camp!
Alan B, These camps seem to do their job here in keeping the dumbing-down process going smoothly ! Posted by individual, Saturday, 3 August 2019 8:12:23 PM

Dear Brian,
So what do you suggest? We all know already how evil the Chinese regime is, no secrets about it, so how could more publicity help? Why would the dictators care about it? Isn't it best to just try to rescue as many as we can by getting them out of there? Posted by Yuyutsu, Sunday, 4 August 2019 2:17:38 PM

Yuyutsu, Migrating a problem won't solve it ! Advising them to stand up & take action for themselves is a much more viable option. Creating more refugees creates yet a bigger dilemma ! Get refugees to return & sort out their problems is the only way ! Posted by individual, Sunday, 4 August 2019 2:54:07 PM

Wrong individual
You suggesting others, including an AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN in China, should "stand up & take action for themselves" is fine for you safely in Australia. Chinese Leader for Life Xi Jinping is steadily becoming more Stalinist-Maoist. His predecessors massacred those who Stood Up And Took Action in Tiananmen Square, 1989 by LITERALLY CRUSHING THE PROTESTORS WITH TANKS THEN BACKING THE TANKS OVER THEM TO CREATE AN UNRECOGNISABLE BLOODY MUSH. Check out the Tiananmen Massacre here http://youtu.be/AGJoaHr2QdM?t=45s to see what happens to Chinese who "stand up & take action for themselves". And especially see http://youtu.be/AGJoaHr2QdM?t=2m50s And it can happen again the way Xi and his personal tool, the Chinese Communist Party, are squeezing any hope of democracy or effective protest.
