I hope the Chinese wake up revolt and hang those bastard communist party members!!

 

They shouldn't be protesting they should be attacking slashing and killing those party members and their lackys. Sad no one in china will read this though... If anyone is in china reading this your on a proxy likely so say hello to us!!
