1 - coming from Belgium, my statement is valid for Europe mostly too. Don't change my statement as you please :)
2 - That's nuts, looking at what China actually does with the data, it's way more dangerous for everyone involved.
You are targeting US, but forgetting that China actually has concentration camps ( calling it education doesn't make it better) with millions of people currently in it, ...
China is actively bullying Taiwan, Hong Kong and all their neighbouring countries.
Be glad that you can share your opinion on a popular US platform without censorship.
( There is active moderation, but this is done in a very open way). In China, you would just suddenly disappear.
Saying China has a bad track record is a serious lack of judgement.
- Lio 7y agoI'm not American but given the choice I'd go with America over China any day. Here's why: You can't make jokes about Xi Jinping's hair on a Chinese website. Where as if you want to laugh at Trump's ridiculous bouffant on an American site have at it.
- saiya-jin 7y agoNow we are comparing who is worse, I claim both are bad actors and currently would pick a different one than you. We can each cherry pick specific cases/aspects and ignore/marginalize those we don't. OK, so just one random point, China is bullying around. What about citizens of: Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Iran, etc. China is bullying Taiwan. Compared to US killing millions of civilians and ruined future for hundreds of millions by its actions. Many wars started without any real cause. How can you even compare this... But I guess you completely ignore these matters. You ignore NSA spying on every citizen of this planet as long as they do anything, ever online. As an European, you don't really mind being treated as sub-human being by US government on US soil (way less human and civil rights compared to US citizen, if you are suspect of terrorism than this is valid globally). I guess you don't care about Guantanamo. I guess as an European, you don't mind that US is exempt from International tribunal for war crimes in Haague, so companies like Blackwater can basically kill whoever they want. I have no doubt China might do the same under some theoretical circumstances. But saying who is better and worse is very relative in this topic.
- NicoJuicy 7y agoI don't ignore anything on both sides. I compare both and China is the greater evil. Even when the US has an idiot on top of command now.
