- whatevermom3 10mo agoI see Chinese citizens traveling abroad every day. Doesn't look like they cannot travel. Freedom of what exactly? Are you really free in America when you have to toil away 12 hours per day to make ends meet? Honestly funny to see people falling for American propaganda.
- nickthegreek 10mo agoVery few Americans commenting here have to toil away for 12 hours to make ends meet.
- nish__ 10mo agoThey only let some of them out. And it's hard to get a passport. Most other countries work the opposite way. You need approval to enter. In China, you need approval to exit.
- amanaplanacanal 10mo agoPersonally, I'm against both of those.
- nish__ 10mo agoSo just no borders? That's fair I guess.
- amanaplanacanal 10mo agoOne way to think about it: if every country prevents people from entering, the effect is exactly the same as one country preventing people from leaving.
- platevoltage 10mo agoOh god, it's like talking to my Dad. What is Communism?
- nish__ 10mo agoYour Dad is wise. And you can Google it.
- platevoltage 10mo agoIt's fine if you don't know.
- nish__ 10mo agoCommunism is a political and economic ideology aiming for a classless society where the community, rather than individuals, owns major resources like factories and land, distributing wealth based on need.
- thrance 10mo agoChina's economy is very much capitalist.
- nish__ 10mo agoChina doesn't allow people to freely leave the country. How is that ok?
- xp84 10mo agoI’ve got one. The US doesn’t mow down its citizens with tanks for protesting, and then perpetually suppress all discussion of the incident. (Yes, there have been situations that are similar in theme, but they paw in comparison to that incident.)
- platevoltage 10mo agoYou felt the need to backpedal before hitting submit, so you're almost there.
