    I’m not here to defend the Chinese government or anything, but there is an argument to be made that the US has an equivalency to each one of these things.

    CCP officials at tech companies - NSA backdoors

    Uyghur slaves - Prison labor aka war on drugs

    Taiwan - Gaza/Literally any “3rd world” nation with oil

    Censorship - Right wing media empires/red state bills targeted to downplay US atrocities taught in schools

    Retaliation against protestors - Police brutality Social media censorship - Oligarchs owned social media

    I think a lot of people are less falling for Chinese propaganda and more overcoming US propaganda.

      With the caveat that we have tons of actual evidence for the US equivalent, whereas the claims that China does those things are usually “We absolutely swear they do bro” from the people who swore Hamas was raping babies or whatever.

      If you think any of those are remotely the same, you’re simply delusional.
