Mark, you may the only one on the list who took my comment seriously. I found Charlie's concern for democratic rights touching in view of his enthusiastic support for Mao and Stalin whose regimes, rest assured, I do not consider to have been exemplars of proletarian democracy. Neither is Xi's, but if censoring social media and the Covid lockdown on behalf of China's capitalists is all Charlie could come up with, the Chinese leader still has a long way to go before he can come closr to matching the record of his predecessors.
