They do have export control laws and such, but based on current and past behavior China’s Communist Party doesn’t need those laws to disappear people or create crimes and then make people guilty of said crimes.

Worth mentioning though that this is not how America functions, nor our rule of law.

What do you make of this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47927544

  • Not much, none of those cases from the US resulted in disappearing the founders. The US is a nation of laws, no matter how imperfect. Stark contrast to the CCP.

    • lol, your current president and congress dont seem to be following your own laws.

    • At the end of the day, the process itself, years of investigation, millions in legal fees, frozen assets, destroyed careers is often the punishment regardless of whether charges stick or convictions hold up.

      Not sure we can give any lessons to the world.
