Absolutely. I see really hard to fathom log from fellows who scream "There is no Democracy in America!," and then decide to run to China.
Never met such personally, but I know such are all around the tech industry here. Chinese medias are exhilariating about them day, and night.
They are your new Earl Browders, and Zara Witkins. Not poor people, not unpriveleged people, not marginalised people, who go bark at America, and its system, while making tons of money in China very much thanks to their priveleged status, and opportunities America gave them.
- hutzlibu 6y ago""There is no Democracy in America!," and then decide to run to China" Are people actually saying this today? I mean, I was discussing with one guy who claimed the corona dictatorship is so bad, he rather goes to north corea. But he didn't go and I stopped wasting time arguing with such people. But this person for instance would have qualifed as mentally ill and drug abuser. Not a normal person. So what normal person is saying this today? Or is this a straw man? Because what I don't like in this debate, when you cannot "bark at america and its system", because china is worse. They clearly are. But this does not negate valid criticism of the US hegemony.
