What country would you prefer to live in, and feel comfortable criticizing it’s government publicly while living within it? We all know the answer to this.
It’s incredible people are ready at the whistle to defend China on here and turn every article about China into a US vs China moral olympics.

Even if you are incapable of seeing it now, the world has more than 2 choices. But if that's your entire horizon I can imagine why you'd think one is good. It's like making a top of your favorite books after reading just two. > people are ready at the whistle to defend China on here And if the previous view didn't make it painfully clear you're ill equipped to argue this point in a civilized or productive fashion, your followup is to accuse anyone who disagrees with you as "a dog to defend China". Son, I've seen this bullshit tactic for many more decades than you've been alive. I've had to live under most of the scare tactics you can imagine. I've had to live with people trying to shut me up by calling me a "capitalist subversive" on one side of the map, or a "red" on the other side. While then just as now those people were invariably the uneducated, at least back then most had little choice in that matter. You have no such excuse.
