- throw848tjfj 6mo agoAlready happening, best example is worldwide grounding of Boeing 737 MAX. It was China who triggered it, not US authorities (protecting US corporation). Similar thing with batteries on airplanes, tube trains, ferries and underground garages. China cares about fire hazard, other countries care about ideology.
- wiseowise 6mo ago> other countries care about ideology Not even ideology anymore, see US. Democratic country has been attacked in a biggest war since WW2, and they've decided to halt all support and attack Iran instead.
- noelsusman 6mo agoChina, famous for never putting ideology over policy.
- Barrin92 6mo agounless you're going back to the cultural revolution, modern China is extremely pragmatic. It's a nominally socialist country that runs deregulated special economic zones with tens of millions of people and more economic competition than anywhere else. The equivalent would be if the US started to run a socialist planned city of 15 million people somewhere, just for the sake of it. There's pretty much no other place that in the last 30-40 years has as much of a spread of policy experimentation as China has had.
- drstewart 6mo agoWow, that's amazing. What fire hazard are they preventing in their support for Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine?
- lqstuart 6mo agoToo bad they don't care so much about factory worker safety or slave labor
- phatfish 6mo agoI don't think the bake-off to decide which superpower has the worst human rights record is going to land where you want it to. Hint, they both suck. FWIW, I'll take the one not dropping bombs to keep their BFF happy, boosting right-wing shitheads, threatening to invade their real allies and slapping dumb tariffs on everyone.
- lqstuart 6mo agoThey both suck, but one of them literally harvests organs from political prisoners. I’m honestly torn on which one I’d pick, but there’s a TON of likely state-sponsored pro-China propaganda on the internet, so I consider it a patriotic duty to push back for the sole reason that we can still freely talk shit about the one (for the time being, as long as you don’t mention the blessed martyr Charlie Kirk), whereas the other blocks the internet and imprisons people for dissent.
- platevoltage 6mo agoThe country I live in has a specific cutout for allowing slavery for incarcerated people.
- Scroll_Swe 6mo agoChina glazing on HN, wow what a suprise!

- justonceokay 6mo agoIt’s funny you say that because the China “anti regulatory effect” of the 90s-2000s also had a great impact on quality of life for the world in its own way
