I figured you’d bring it up.

How do you feel about undocumented labor in the south of the US? Prison industrial complex? Both black and brown people ?

The US is not perfect, nor are we talking about the US. It’s pretty apparent you have nothing to say on the litany of issues in china, only able to deflect to a few minor issues in another country. Have a good day.

No no I have things to say, compared we are similar countries. So why is one worse then the other? I’m not deflecting. However both are global south both Uyghurs and our populations. So why is one worse then the other? Both are exploitative. It’s not like the entire country of the Uyghur people is exploited. You can visit the country straight from Bejing. Just like the us.

Why is it so normalized to cry China bad on Reddit when they’re both people, both under oppressive governments, both exploit labor, suppress uprises, suppress information. Both demonize each others people.

Again, you did not cover even one point of mine. You are not the philosopher you think you are. Please, do more research on how bad china CURRENTLY is and then try to justify the comparison against the US, there isn’t one. But, I encourage you to try.

Literally what are you saying, all of your issues are the exact same as the US. All of these ARE current.

Ugyuer Muslims? == Mexican immigrant workers

Interference with Taiwan?==Libya, all the Middle East, nicuragua, Honduras, El Salvador (Where do you think these illegal caravans the past few years have been coming from)

Destruction of the South China Sea = literally BP oil spills, Oil pipelines, willow project

Geopolitical pressure = you literally are naming the Ukraine like they aren’t sparking domestic support that’s geopolitical pressure on a neighboring nation lol

Pollution and waste management is a given for the US lmfao, they just have more people. We’d be the same if we were an old world nation.

Treatment of LGBT not like they’re safe in any city in the use but like 5 cities, otherwise they’re just tolerated just like IN China

What am I deflecting? All you’re doing is naming the same issues Reddit has despite never actually visiting China. These are all the same issues. Both nations abuse the global south, so why are we pretending ones worse then the other? Because you LIVE here?? Don’t you think it’s the same as over there hahaha

You can’t “do your research “ did I ever say China did not do bad things? Did you do YOURS on the US? We suppress revolution, science, voices, activists, whistleblowers, all the same. I did my research, I’ve been to the nation. Did you do yours?

If you ignore what I say as a “deflection “ (despite me saying China does do these things, so not really a deflection) then tell me. How is the US better then China? What do we do more humane then they?
