This is a heart wrenching litany of cruel suffering by brave people who dared to protest at a ‘peoples’ State’. I think we can agree on this, Arthur, though I doubt if you see it as the outcome of socialism taken to the limit.

Some countries (or better still, their leaders) never change. It is good that people are made aware of what's going on. Spies and Lies is an eye-opener for those who prefer to sit on the fence. Regards // paul

Hi Arthur, an excellent write my friend. China, a communist country with no true communist concept. Those in power, they keep their power by walking over others, by taking away peoples liberties. You have hit the nail on the head Arthur, a country of spies and lies. I don't think I would ever trust such a country. A poem of truth my friend. Have a wonderful Monday. your friend always....Mike.
