I mostly agree with the moral high ground dilemma. An important distinction is that in free countries we can at least talk about (let alone protest) bad behavior, and without fear of being disappeared. That's a real path toward positive change that doesn't exist in China.
- trasz 5y agoBecause of course people in China can't protest. "The number of annual protests has grown steadily since the early 1990s, from approximately 8,700 "mass group incidents" in 1993[1] to over 87,000 in 2005.[2] In 2006, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences estimated the number of annual mass incidents to exceed 90,000, and Chinese sociology professor Sun Liping estimated 180,000 incidents in 2010.[3][4]"
