There are more people in jails and prisons in the United State of
America than in any other country in the world - and most of them are
there for "crimes" which are nothing more than violations of
tyrannical laws against personal behavior (plus more than a few who
are there because they have resisted the violent theft of their
property by the United State and associated governments).

Would that be the same China where a 47 year old woman was assaulted
by the police and charged with "intimidating" the Chinese premier?
Oh, no, wait - that would be the United State. Or the same China
where a journalist was thrown out of a public gathering for asking
the Chines premier if he had seen the protesters outside? No, wait -
again that would be the United State.
