Replace "China" with "CCP" - and yes, however it's obvious as to why that is - the control systems, the censorship systems, the confirmed genocide [by definition, cultural genocide] of Uighurs, and things like not allowing the UN to go into China to investigate claims directly are a few examples; it's not to say different administrations in the US have been part of bad/unacceptable behaviour as well, however the CCP is a different - "permanent" leadership/hierarchy that isn't voted in by the general population, so it's not comparable.
- solosoyokaze 6y agoI don't actually think the Chinese government is trustworthy, for all the reasons you state. However, I find the US/MS less trustworthy for us. I've been the target of US propaganda far more often than Chinese propaganda, since I'm a US citizen. Remember Bush/The New York Times falsely claiming that Iraq had WMD? A lesson we shouldn't quickly forget. Especially when the current admin has already initiated illegal military action. I'm weary of war hawks and the propaganda that supports them.
