In China, “there are two completely different voices in the debate” over the statue, said Zhu Dake, a cultural commentator and professor at Tongji University in Shanghai.
“One is that Germany is now a wholly capitalist state that has abandoned Marxism. Sending the statue is tantamount to sending his ideas back to try to reignite the spark of revolution,” he said in an interview.
“The other is that Marx’s theory of class struggle had a very negative effect on China,” he said. “Sending the statue is symbolically returning defective goods.”

Greenville community weighs in on Pitt County Courthouse confederate statue
The Confederate statue the resides outside the Pitt County courthouse has been called for removal following the events in Charlottesville, VA

On Aug, 12, 2017, the city of Charlottesville, Virginia became the epicenter for national debate when a white supremacist rally took a violent turn. The gathering was originally organized to protest the decision to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, located in the city’s Emancipation Park. Ultimately, the rally resulted in the death of counter-protester, Heather Heyer and two Virginia state troopers, H. Jay Cullen and Berke M.M. Bates. Due to the events in Charlottesville, a lingering debate has been revitalized surrounding the ethics of statues constructed to honor confederate soldiers of the American Civil War. According to a 2016 Southern Poverty Law Center report, approximately 718 of these statues and monuments still stand across the United States. One such monument, erected in 1914, resides on the steps of the Pitt County Courthouse in Greenville, North Carolina.

As Historic England calls for a debate on knocking down Nelson's Column, DOMINIC SANDBROOK says the way such bodies constantly give in to the far Left is beneath contempt
We went on a family outing to London a few weeks ago to see the sights. Among our stops was, inevitably, Trafalgar Square, where the children peered up at the figure of Horatio, Lord Nelson, almost 170ft above the streets on his mighty granite column.
Few lives in our national history are more rousing than that of the vicar's son from Norfolk. Having lost an eye and an arm in the struggle against Napoleon's cruel tyranny, Nelson faced the fleets of France and Spain at Trafalgar in 1805 in a titanic showdown for control of the seas.
Opening the battle with the signal 'England expects that every man will do his duty', Nelson steered his fleet to a glorious victory, only to be cut down by a French sniper on the deck of HMS Victory. As he breathed his last, the battle was won and Britain was saved.
The watchdog group responsible for protecting Britain's history has sparked a storm of criticism after posting a message suggesting Nelson's Column should be bulldozed
