You must be very naive thinking any other government can't kidnap anyone. Think of Assange - perfect illustration of what "free" western governments can do.
I'm not a fan of CCP in any way but I find naivety of HN commenters speaking about China and CCP here very amusing.
- truetraveller 5y agoThis is actually a very valid comment. And Snowden as well.
- jesterson 5y agothank you - good point, Snowden is a perfect illustration as well indeed
- sumedh 5y agoWas Assange kidnapped and did he disappear for months? Read my comment again, I think that if you are a billionaire the US govt wont kidnap you like what they do in China and Russia. I find your comment amusing unless you can give some sources where the US has kidnapped billionaires and kept them hidden for months.
- jesterson 5y ago> Was Assange kidnapped and did he disappear for months? I suggest you to educate yourself about the matter. He did disappear for years, not months, unfortunately. And there is not need to become so defensive - if you look at history with intellectual curiosity you may find at certain point that similarities between US, Russian or Chinese government are quite extreme when it comes to fighting with forces opposing the government.
- sumedh 5y agoWhere did he disappear for years, perhaps I missed that memo. We are not talking about history here, we are talking about the present.
- atatatat 5y agoHow about non billionaires? Are those humans human enough for you?
