When an Obama Administration ambassador and Washington ComPost contributing columnist is trying to make a verbose intellectual point! Michael McFaul in this confused piece comes across as a quasi semi apologist for Xi Jinping! He frequently wavers back and forth with his arguments!
Of course Xi Jinping is not Stalin! What a ridiculous juxtaposition! However, there are many parallels between both communist dictators!
"... But is Xi really Stalin’s heir, as O’Brien claimed and as other U.S. officials seem to think? The basis for such a comparison is thin. ... Stalin also killed millions and imprisoned millions more, rivaled in brutality only by Hitler and Mao. Xi does not make this list. ..."
How many people were imprisoned under Xi Jinping's dictatorship is unknown, but hundreds of thousands is quite possible!
