This take fails to fairly address the ulterior motive of the Belt and Road initiative, or the level of repression the average Chinese citizen faces (the Great Firewall is a great example. Don't forget tiananmen square or hong kong)
Sure, it's an alternative to the US' imperialism, but make no mistake that the Chinese government has the capacity to be just as evil.
- itsoktocry 4y ago>the Great Firewall is a great example. The Great Firewall vs the US Government telling social media companies what to censor.
- TulliusCicero 4y agoThe US government is rather limited there in how much it can actually tell companies to censor, due to the first amendment. The government can whine about a lot of things, but actually legally forcing action? That's much more limited.
- Dylan16807 4y agoNot versus. China has the great firewall and gets social media to censor a thousand times as much.
