I don’t understand the goal of making a superlative statement. Any government not run by ghouls would condemn slavery.

Did you? Xis approval rate has nothing to do with that photograph

The approval rate of the politician does not enter into the fact that any photo that looks like that is marketing and involves some level of staging or artifice

Any photo like that from any significant nation is, on some level, staged.

China and climate change eh?

This comment section is disgusting.
