> Chinese firms by Chinese law are forced to handover whenever CCP asks them to.

Are we pretending the same isn't true of American firms?

> Are we pretending the same isn't true of American firms?

Are we really pretending it's equivalent?

  • Certainly its not the same, or atleast thats what thet want you to think. BUT I thought uncle sam had the ultimate authority?

    Its the land of freedom until they decide they dont like you.

The steel man is that American requests must be lawful, are done transparently through the courts, are appealable, and don’t come through secret agencies.

The titanium gold alloy man is that the Chinese laws are inarguably stricter and more authoritarian than the US laws, regardless of the actual implementation of either.

    This reads like someone who has paid absolutely no attention to American law for 25 years.

  • I'm sorry friend.

    Police force is hiding their face. Exquisite contracts are being made through informal announcements. Strong suspicion on inside trading from high ranks. A new level of people policing. Waivers for criminals already convicted to support coup on other foreign states.

    Lies or at least speeches that are plain denial of obvious facts or brush citizen problems as they were mere senseless complaints

    Speech about god punishment and the end of the days almost weekly Threats to use weapons graded of world level destruction for a conflict that "would have take a week"

    Billionaire and trillionaires plainly saying what they want the government to do

    In China, apparently there is at least one person who takes responsibility for everything no matter what and has been playing the discourse of growing together instead of attacking every single ally with unproven information while (seemingly) profiting from all crisis.

    I don't know man. There is very little to defend. And look. I ain't American, and I still thought that guy had some good qualities despite the rest.

    The nixonlike policy through the world in a state where only those people will have anything. Pledges for cheques, stocks, accounts. Not even that seems to be materializing up to now

    I do like my American folks, wish all of them the best, but don't fall for "the world against you talk" This one is on you.
