China has an authoritarian government that produces pollution that threatens the entire world, ignores human rights and free speech, and supports dictators in Russia and Africa. If China gets anymore powerful, the world is doomed. We need to curb commerce with China.
- Lorento 11y agoReplace China with USA and see how it looks.
- wmt 11y agoMuch further from the reality. The US has huge flaws and gaping failures with these matters, but still compared to China it is objectively way less authoritan, and has a much better track record with respecting free speech and human rights.
- leereeves 11y ago> The US...has a much better track record with respecting free speech and human rights. The rights of US citizens, yes, but our track record on human rights and free speech worldwide is not so good.
- maverick2 11y agoBut when China is at par with what US has been, China's record of human rights and free speech worldwide will be much worse than that of US.
