- dsfyu404ed 7y agoWhat do you want me to do? I am merely explaining why the west is not up in arms over china. The answer is basically money. China has cheap manufacturing that enables western lifestyles at their current price point so a blind eye is turned. South Africa, Russia, etc, etc, do not so they get criticized. Sorry for not being sufficiently Outraged(TM). Yes. This sucks. Shitty things happen in the world all the time. Chinese authoritarianism is one of them. As someone literally on the other side of the world it is not high up the list of priorities for me. There are fires closer to home that need fighting first.
