Bernie Sanders doesn't seem to mind mass murder to reduce poverty

Sanders had this to say about China:

"China is a country that is moving, unfortunately, in a more authoritarian way in a number of directions," Sanders said. "But what we have to say about China in fairness to China and its leadership is, if I’m not mistaken, they have made more progress in addressing extreme poverty than any country in the history of civilization. So they’ve done a lot of things for their people."

First thing to note is that China has always been run by mass murdering tyrants so it's unclear what in the heck Bernie is thinking when he says that they're moving in an authoritarian direction.  The rulers of China killed thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square in 1989.  Clearly they've been at authoritarianism for a very long time.

This is revealing since it indicates that Bernie has a very different view of what is authoritarian than most Americans.

Second thing is that Bernie doesn't mention either China's forced abortion policy which was a key part of their plan to reduce poverty by killing off huge numbers of unborn girls--in China its the sons who take care of their elderly parents so if a family can have only one child they wanted that child to be a boy-- or the mass murder of 60,000,000 people by the Chinese government.

The only thing that the Chinese government has done to reduce poverty is to effectively abolish socialism and allow free market capitalism--something Bernie rejects.

One things for sure a Bernie presidency would be very pro-China and very anti-American.
