Communist Party members are at high risk for AIDS

I would have found this amusing if it didn't have terrible repercussions - it's not as if these corrupt sods couldn't help spread it into the law-abiding part of the population.

Raj, that's why I included the word, "spreading."

perhaps if enough officials become infected, the government will become more tolerant of HIV-positive individuals?

No I don't want more of them to become infected, because they might spread it to others.

But I wouldn't mind at all if they all committed suicide.

erm... that's a little extreme.

erm... that's a little extreme.

T_co II, that's not extreme at all when you compare this with a statement made by a former CCP official Zhang Quanjing. What Zhang is suggesting is even more extreme. According to Zhang, some people within the CCP will stop at nothing, including murder, to move up the ladder, and that a Chinese official had actually killed his superior in order to get a higher post.

I assure you that I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, check out this report from China Daily.

In other words, to be a CCP bureaucrat in China is really a hazardous job nowadays. If you don't die of AIDS infection then you'll be murdered by your staff. T_co II, I really start to have sympathy for you?

Furthermore - oh God MUST I remind you, T-CO II, you spoiled little shit -
must I remind you, that the fucking Chinese Communist Party is BASED on violence and death?

It's a Leninist Party. The CCP is avowedly a Leninist Party. They reaffirmed this once again just a few weeks ago, in public, Hu Jintao and the rest of them declared themselves to be "Leninists." And, t-co II, you spoiled little wimpy sack of protoplasm who wouldn't last for two minutes in any physical fight with 99.9999 percent of the males in the world (and you would fall even sooner if you ever fought me face to face) - oh, you want to pretend that violence has nothing to do with the CCP? Dude, violence is the ESSENCE of the CCP, because the CCP is a Leninist Party.
Leninism IS VIOLENCE, Leninism IS RUTHLESS, PHYSICAL VIOLENCE! THAT is what your filthy fucking CCP re-affirmed just a few days ago.

So, t-co II, you weak spoiled little boy, don't you DARE talk about "extremism" where the CCP is concerned. THEY declare themselves to be "Leninists", and that means, "Violent struggle without any mercy."

Ivan, you might as well have stuck a hoof into your mouth there. Your ad hominems are an insult to all individuals like Richard, Fat Cat, and Raj dedicated to improving the lives of Chinese people.

Furthermore, just because one Chinese official killed his superior in an organization with 60 million people doesn't mean that we should wish all of them to commit suicide. Such gross mischaracterizations of an entire group are like saying that men make better friendships than women because of the specific friendship of one man with another. (Oh wait, you did make that claim too... sorry)

No, t_co, Ivan isn't an insult to any of us regulars here. Quite the contrary. He is more like a family, if you know what I mean. So don't you ever try to come between me and my brother because I can't guarantee you that nothing unpleasant is not going to happen if you do that.

Thanks for your comment about me and my effort to improve the lives of Chinese people. You are the first CCP member to recognise my contribution. All your other compatriots seem to have taken an offence when I insist on asking questions about some presumably taboo topics. Well I can't help it because I'm just a dumb Aussie with a bird's brain and a lion's heart, so to speak.

On this note, if you don't mind, can I ask you a question: how did you come about inheriting t_co I's handle? Did you buy it from t_co I? If you did, how much did you pay for it? Or did you simply had him murdered, like most good CCP followers would have done?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

The same problem surfaced in Africa in the early stages of the AIDS epidemic. People with more access to sex due to wealth/power got AIDS. This meant that the thin crust of highly educated managers, teachers, etc who were so vital for national development, were dying. When I was in the Peace Corps in Kenya in the mid 80s it was a serious issue in Africa.

You need to find out who these CCP members are, Ivan, before you so offhandly dismiss these people. Nobody deserves to die, and least of all because of AIDS. I suspect many of these people are individuals that China might actually need.

Michael,

You are probably correct. They are called "corrupt official". The CCP definitely needs them to keep up with its established reputation. But I doubt very much if China, as a nation, will need more corrupt officials.

t_co I is my older cousin. he's currently involved in some portfolio restructuring work for a bank about that's about to have an IPO (which basically means he uses all of his connections to threaten various cadres and factory managers with bankruptcy, jail time, or execution if they don't pay their loans so that the balance sheet of the bank improves.)
