China records no new domestic cases
The media say, China beat coronavirus.
I don’t believe what the Chinese government says,
but we’re told China did a better
job than other countries.
As China gets a handle on this pandemic,
it’s a different story across the globe.
Across the globe, most of us are now social distancing.
I’m recording this from my home
and teleconferencing
to communicate with my coworkers.
China did that?
A good part about America
is that most of this is voluntary.
[Welding]
Not so in China,
where authorities have welded people into homes
to keep them inside
[shouting in Chinese]
or tied people to posts
because they didn’t wear a face mask.

Chinese police use drones equipped with
high resolution cameras and loud speakers
They shout orders to people on the street.
China’s spies on every citizen.
200 million cameras and electronic eavesdropping
let them pull together every person’s political leanings
and social interactions.
They use that to give everyone a trust score.
Your score drops If you criticize the government
play lots of video games
watch porn
or even have friends with low scores.
The government punishes people with low scores
by slowing their internet speed
or banning them from traveling.

I’m glad I don’t live in China.
Before the pandemic,
I made this video about how China spies on people
Facebook and Twitter are banned in China,
so people use
So the government spies on that,
‘round the clock.
The state also monitors
the Chinese version of Amazon called Alibaba.
Alibaba is by your side 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Why should we care what the communists do?
We’re not in China.
Li Schoolland came to America 30 years ago.
Here’s Li when she was 16.
She survived the Great Leap Forward,
the Great Famine, the Cultural Revolution.
Her parents were doctors so they,
and she, were re-educated.
The repression is over. It’s all better now.
The social trust score is an example of that.
I would like to know that there’s a trust score
so I can know who’s trustworthy and who’s not.
Sounds sort of appealing.
Still no nationwide stay at home order.
But America’s media say
We do need government to be more involved!
They interview people who say:
We need to ramp up production
and have this wartime mobilization now.
Police are always ready to do more
In Florida, checkpoints on highways.
Rhode Island expanding its crackdown on drivers
with out-of-state license plates.
Police going door to door.
Really, is that necessary?
It’s good that our government finally released
its stockpile of emergency supplies,
and brought in the military’s hospital ships.
But repressive government controls like
China's should not be our role model.
Remember, the virus began in China
and spread farther because their
autocrats suppressed information,
and denied that the virus could spread between humans
and they punished scientists who told the truth.
They arrested the doctors
who were trying to blow the whistle
about this and made them publicly retract it.
Even people who post things
about the virus may be locked up.
I’m glad I live in America,
where I’m free to say anything I want about the virus,
or the government.
[get the *** off]
Some American authorities will go too far.
Philadelphia police pulled a man off a bus
because he wouldn’t wear a mask.
But after this video went viral,
police changed their policy.
We Americans debate these issues.
In China, they just lock people up,
I trust that we’ll get the virus under control here too.
I hope, without taking away our freedom.
These are unsettling times.
Government’s now giving out loans and grants,
but we won’t take them. We don’t believe in that.
