  • Using tech for weapons development
  • Attempting to end democracies
  • Supporting an authoritarian government with a lifelong ruler
  • Using slave labor
  • Attempting usurpation of South China Sea
  • Allying itself with Russia
  • Undermining human rights globally
  • Building a surveillance state Yes, I know they're not the only ones, but they have one ruler that can't be voted out, thus they'll unlikely change for the better as they have no better half to vote in.

You can take every single point above and apply it to America, a couple of them require a simple word substitution.

  • Using tech for weapons development
  • Attempting to end install democracies
  • Supporting Creating an authoritarian government with a lifelong ruler, then killing said ruler 25 years later.
  • Using slave labor
  • Attempting usurpation of South China Sea earth
  • Allying itself with Russia
  • Undermining human rights globally
  • Building a surveillance state

Yep, you can take every point - except voting and having a two party political system and no social credit authority. I can talk shit about my government and they can't do shit. Fuck Xi - can they they say that without repercussions?

I'd like to know how you do weapons development without technology.

​

>Attempting to end democracies

Which democracies? You mean Taiwan, Hong Kong? These are Chinese territories, The US has no say over how China runs its own country.

​

>Supporting an authoritarian government with a lifelong ruler

The US has no say over how China runs its own country.

​

>Using slave labor

Even if this is true, what has it got to do with technology? Also, slave labour, dude glass houses and stones.

​

>Attempting usurpation of South China Sea

Are these companies 'usurping' the South China Sea, which is claimed by China and many other regional nations. Are the other nations in the South China Sea conflict getting technology companies sanctioned?

​

>Allying itself with Russia

So countries are not allowed to choose allies that you disagree with? Why is that?

​

>Undermining human rights globally

What? How exactly?

​

I like your proof here, it is as good as CNN with just blatant statements with nothing to back them up.
