While acerbic, this highlights the difference between the two systems. China is economically and politically exclusive, while US system is inclusive politically and economically (inclusive means you are not stopped from participating, not that everyone would be capable of participating). One facet of an inclusive system are courts that are politically independent. Hence you are able to sue a government in an inclusive system.
- raverbashing 6y agoYes, you are able. But when one of two players are not playing fair (China) you're not going win any medals (or fights) while holding by your usual ethical standards. And as much as I'm mostly completely opposed to the current US administration, Tiktok is a liability.
- fsloth 6y ago"you're not going win any medals (or fights) while holding by your usual ethical standards." That's the thing! These are not ethical standards. These are about the general rules by which a society operates. Generally countries with inclusive systems work better than countries with exclusive ones. China being the odd man out, apparently, at the moment. So it's not about ethics, it's about economics. It may seem like a value call, but actually it's a decision along a path does the society want to be more or less like an exclusive system. Since exclusive systems don't work as well financially, it's effectively a call does the system want to be wealthier or poorer long term.
