It is not only UK. It is NZ and Australia as well. It is really weird to watch these countries to mimic CCP controlled China without all the benefits that CCP managed to pull off.

Canada as well. All Commonwealth countries seem to be reading from an identical script at this point.

  I did not know thar about Canada. Thought it is a bit on the rational side of things compared to the other 3. Sad to hear that.

  I'd go even further and say most western countries, because I think the US and EU are headed in a similar direction. My guess is that they see trouble ahead and want to get a firmer grip on power, so they're trying to get the kid gloves off as stealthily as possible. If they could, they'd go full CCP before you can say "communo-fascism", but they can't, because then they'd have to deal with too much push back at once.

  The script is definitely coming from America. And the first scene is trial of virtual control.

You don't actually understand China or Australia if you think they are similar. They are not. They have similar puppets they put on their hands to make the general population think a certain way, they may follow the same single act, but they're not similar.

  You just described one trait they have in common in terms of similarity. Of course they are different but have certain similarities. The EU? Not so much.

    Everyone has a couple traits in common. For example the EU regulate several very minute things that anyone in the EU must follow. Like how the Chinese regulate the sale (or ban of) certain luxuries.
