Oh joy! The country we have such great immigration recourse with has taken the progressive action of nipping a potential coup in the bud.

Non-independent-state Taiwan apparently disagrees with this sentencing. Boo Taiwan! Boo!

China jails Taiwan activist Lee Ming-che for 'subversion'

A Chinese court has sentenced a Taiwanese activist to five years in jail for "subverting state power".
Lee Ming-che went on trial in September for attempting to promote multi-party democracy in group messaging chats.
His case has gripped Taiwan, which has called for Mr Lee's safe return, and has further strained the island's relations with China.
Taiwan's presidential office has criticised the sentence, saying: "We cannot accept this."

Oh Joy! Chinese government are evicting dreamers from Beijing, and the tech industry, who relies heavily on these dreamers, dare not said a thing. Censorship of these "low-end" migrants "dreamers" are in high gear. The state press is banned from mentioning the "low-end" migrants word.

This is all normal of course for China. What it should remind people of here in the State is the danger of Trump constant attack on the 2nd amendment and the free press and how his minions are getting in line to the dear leader.

Wouldn't it be #MAGA if we have that type of conformance in the state?

Are you saying, "be more like China"?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hukou_system#During_the_Great_Leap_Forward's_famine

During the mass famine of the Great Leap Forward from 1958 to 1962, having an urban versus a rural hukou could mean the difference between life and death.[17] During this period, nearly all of the approximately 600 million rural hukou residents were collectivized into village communal farms, where their agricultural output - after state taxes - would be their only source of food. With institutionalized exaggeration of output figures by local Communist leaders and massive declines in production, state taxes during those years confiscated nearly all food in many rural communes, leading to mass starvation and the deaths of more than 30 million Chinese.[18]

The 100 million urban hukou residents, however, were fed by fixed food rations established by the central government, which declined to an average of 1500 calories per day at times but still allowed survival for almost all during the famine. An estimated 95% or higher of all deaths occurred among rural hukou holders. With the suppression of news internally, many city residents were not aware that mass deaths were occurring in the countryside at all, which was essential to preventing organized opposition to Mao's policies.[19]
