It’s fair enough to focus on one’s own home country—and I happen to think that the best the US can do is to set a good example in the hope that liberal democracy becomes more attractive to Chinese decision-makers.
But nonsense like this, if the report is accurate—
> Palihapitiya during the podcast also questioned whether the Chinese Communist Party could be considered a dictatorship, and said he wouldn't be an "armchair journalist" on the topic of the Uyghurs.
is really quite unhelpful. It’s one thing for Palihapitiya to not care or to say he doesn’t know much about the situation; it’s another to then question whether the CPC régime is really a dictatorship—especially given the second remark and the low priority he gives to China generally.
