Note the bias against China in the comments here vs South Korea which is effectively doing the same thing.
- throwawayqqq11 2y agoNote the topic is about china and any restriction of "public" data will gather negative comments. The only bias i am seeing is yours.
- lmz 2y agoIt's biased in the sense that this seems to be common practice in the region and yet China is singled out while darling US ally South Korea which does comparable things is excused (e.g. see sibling comments excusing it because of the conflict with NK).
- himinlomax 2y agoSouth Korea is currently at war with a hostile oppressive totalitarian neighbour. China is at war with its people.
- lmz 2y agoDoesn't Taiwan still claim the mainland as its own, at least in theory? Also there are border conflicts with e.g. India.
- camgunz 2y agoThis is a false equivalence
- himinlomax 2y agoTaiwan only continues to claim it because rescinding the claim would be seen as "separatist" and thus a casus belli for the CCP to end the status quo.
- ii41 2y agoSouth Korea is currently at war with North Korea in what is known as the Korean War. China and the US also fought in what is known as the Korean War. You can't claim SK and NK are at war with each other while implying China and US are not at war with each other. It's exactly the same war.
- himinlomax 2y agoIf you want to put it that way, the United Nations is at war with North Korea.
