China demolishes massive church after dispersing Christians who came to protect it

How can this travesty be a non-story. It is about religious freedom in China,of all places.

This story can't be true. The Chinese enjoy religious freedoms the rest of us can only dream of in America. I read it right here on VJ.

So Ashely Brilliant, what Christian church do you regularly attend in the US and what Christian churches in mainland China have you recently attended? Looks like you've been using rectal cranial inversion to get your facts.

You know Gegel, there is surgical help available. Don't fret none.

But the best surgeon's are all in China though, right?

I know you're being a bit of a smart ####### saying this, but the answer for that is a complete NO! I ruptured my Achilles tendon in China and what happened after that was a complete and utter nightmare of experiences in the Chinese medical system. And, I was in the best hospitals available to mostly foreigners in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong.

America previously enjoyed the best doctors, hospitals, medical care and emergency services in the world. No other country is even close to what we once had. After several surgeries in China for an infection to my leg, I was transferred to a hospital in Sydney, Australia, where they have socialized medical care. They still have a form of private care in most of their hospitals, but the hospitals are run like factories in my view.

In many ways China remains third-world. They have serious problems with corruption and pollution. I've been inside their hospitals and watched as families brought in dead or dying relatives by taxi. I've seen the stained walls and dirty floors, and looked at spoke to young doctors in dirty lab coats. They've got a long way to go.

I know some of you are trying hard to pin an everything in China is great label on me, but dudes, it just ain't gonna stick. I lived there for six years. I know personally what's happening there. I've seen the best and worst of it.

You're doing a fine job of that all by yourself.

That's the sort of comment I would expect from a guy who hates Israel and conservatives and embraces conspiracy theories.

6 years in China is nothing. Are you a Mormon? Plenty of those living in cloud cuckoo land here in Japan.

Have the japonese invited you to their whale meat eating shows, or are they afraid of the french too?

[Jacque67 7,328]

Hmm , so you are a Mormon?

I think someone called you a liberal

I thought I was the only liberal here

I wondered if anyone would pick up on that. I've been called a lot of things here, but liberal has never been one of them.
