    I agree with what you're saying here, my comment was really about highlighting why it's impossible to take anything to the effect of "This is propaganda against China" seriously, since Chinese authorities will begin frothing at the mouth and calling you a racist xenophobic/sinophobic liar if you even insinuate that they've done any of the well documented things they've done.

    If you say anything about surveillance, human rights violations, oppression, etc. you'll immediately be met by "Baseless lies!" "Unfriendly nation!" and friends. The result is that whenever China denies something, I just end up more convinced that they're guilty of what they were accused of.

    What they are doing is evil.

    Full stop.

    What the USA is doing is evil.

    Full stop.

    What the billionaire class is doing is evil.

    Full stop.

    The only thing we have to fear is the fear and complacency of the masses.

    You are afraid of China attacking Taiwan because it is your homeland.

    I am afraid of China attacking Taiwan because it will wreck the global economy.

    I'm sorry that your home is being made a proxy in a fight between two global superpowers. Whatever one's opinion is on the US and China, that sucks regardless. I wish for your safety and security.

  • I fear China because of the shit they do and don't say.

    Twenty years ago they were almost done consolidating "critical minerals" worldwide.
