The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has destroyed the environment in Tibet and ruined the native culture. The CCP is also diverting water from southeast Asia; this will have horrific impacts on the people living there.
The CCP is raiding news organizations in Hong Kong and has disappeared dissidents from the city.
