Believe it or not, just because a government isn’t aligned with the United States doesn’t make it the hero in every situation. Oppressing and spying on your citizens destroys any claim of people’s liberation–full stop. Why is that so hard to grasp?

Gonna need some sources on that, and please at least do better than fkn vice or BBC articles.
If you read those threads below, you’ll see that citizens in China have very little debt, the so-called social credit score is more akin to financial regulations / consequences for wealthier citizens skirting laws. They stopped enacting or enforcing regulations on the rich in the west about 70 years ago, but unfortunately for them in China, the rich keep ending up in prison.
What about China spying on its own people?
Welp.
And please, tell me why the Great Firewall of online control that prevents people from seeing anything related to the Tiananmen Square massacre and other dirty secrets is such a good, anti-surveillance thing to do.

Why are you skipping paragraphs?
Also, the first source is someone who lives in China. And so much of what is said in the western media about tianenmen is a total lie.
I’m not skipping paragraphs, just pointing out information which confirms what I’ve already said–that China is a surveillance state. Why do you want to ignore that? And are you seriously denying the Tiananmen Square massacre? Jesus Christ.
I’m aware all this will be brand new to you, because you’ve only ever heard the western telling of Tiananmen.
What about the Tiananmen square massacre?
Then surely the Chinese government would be perfectly fine disseminating these facts to its citizens and the world at large instead of blanket-banning any searches for it? The left is in a pathetic state if there are people who legitimately think other governments are automatically good just because they oppose the U.S. The fact that people who claim to oppose oppression defend this shit makes me sick.
