    “Mr Xi, the most powerful Chinese leader in decades, calls his one-party model efficient, equitable and dignified. In case foreigners miss his coded message—that competent government, equality and order matter more than freedoms—officials boast of ‘two major miracles’ that shaped China’s rise, namely ‘fast economic development and long-term social stability.’”

    “Here in the liberal West we may not have such frivolities as ‘competent government, equality and order,’ but you can bet your last dollar you’ll have Freedom™ coming out of your nose. You’ll fucking drown in it!”

    Thanks. What freedoms, again?

      Damn, sometimes they just really have those little mask slips and reveal their true agenda.
