The crimes of the communist dictatorship of China, which is praised by Pedro Sánchez

This year, Pedro Sánchez's government has planned numerous events to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Francisco Franco's death.

Spanish socialism criticizes Franco's dictatorship...

In December, Sánchez announced more than 100 events to celebrate that anniversary. In his presentation of these events, the socialist leader stated that with Franco's death, Spain went from "being a dictatorship, poor and isolated, to one of the most complete democracies in the world". So, we can deduce that what Sánchez thinks is wrong with Franco's regime is that it was a dictatorship, but I'm not entirely sure.

... but it has friendly relations with the communist dictatorship of China

Last year, the PSOE (Sánchez's party) held a cordial meeting with representatives of the Communist Party of China (CPC), that is, the sole party of the largest dictatorship in the world, directed from Beijing and which has governed mainland China for 76 years without free elections, systematically violating human rights and committing the largest genocides perpetrated by the movement communist, with up to 82 million deaths during Mao's bloody rule. Of all current dictatorships, Beijing's is the one that has killed the most people, by far.

This Thursday, Sánchez praised that communist dictatorship, stating: "We are going to work actively to reach an understanding with a great power like China, there are many things to work on together".

A communist dictatorship that violates human rights

Let us remember that Communist China (and I call it that so as not to confuse it with free and democratic China, also known as Taiwan) occupies 172nd place out of 180 countries in the Reporters Without Borders world press freedom list, a worse position than other dictatorships such as Venezuela, Russia, Belarus and Cuba.

Likewise, according to the ranking published in January by the NGO Open Doors, communist China ranks 15th out of the 50 countries that most persecute Christians, very high levels of extreme persecution that other religious denominations also suffer in that country. After all, this dictatorship has systematically violated the human right to religious freedom for decades.

Furthermore, the CPC dictatorship imposes strict censorship on television, print media, radio, film, theater, the internet, and video games. This is a systematic violation of the human rights to freedom of speech and freedom of the press that the dictatorship imposes within its borders. Furthermore, it also attempts to export this censorship against Chinese dissidents abroad, as has long been the case with the Shen Yun Performing Arts theater company.

The Chinese version of the Gulag and the Uyghur genocide

Let us also remember that the CPC dictatorship maintains a vast network of concentration camps and detention centers, the Laogai, which is the Chinese version of the Soviet Gulag, where political prisoners have been imprisoned for a wide variety of reasons for 76 years, suffering all kinds of inhuman and degrading treatment.

Meanwhile, in the country's interior, the CPC dictatorship is perpetrating crimes of genocide against the Uyghur minority, which has included the detention of some 3 million people, many of them subjected to torture, rape, sterilization, forced labor, and other forms of inhumane treatment.

Atrocities Sánchez has never said anything about

Sánchez doesn't seem to care about all these atrocities, about which he has never even voiced the slightest criticism. If all that mattered to him, he wouldn't praise the dictatorship that commits them, and his party wouldn't have such friendly relations with the CPC. Similarly, it can be deduced that Sánchez dislikes Franco not because he was a dictator, but because he wasn't a communist dictator. Just look at how smiling the Spanish socialist leader was shaking hands with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping two years ago, when the photo at the top of this article was taken.
