Economic sanctions is an external action. Tariffs are a thing that exist. It's not by any means "repression", so please don't make the argument lame by taking it there.
- vkou 4y agoI'm pretty sure you were the one who took the argument into this direction, by equating banning a chat app to launching missiles - waging war. I'm not asking us to hold ourselves to China's standards - that's the lowest bar in the universe. I'm asking us to hold ourselves to our own standards.
