It's not whataboutism if you point out question was naive. (answer is the same everywhere and has always been the same)

Inner circle leadership won't be prosecuted anywhere as long as their group holds some power.

So, then, question is, how can this be improved?, can it be improved?

I don't understand why you think your question in reply to theirs revealed that theirs was naive.

If anything, I think it actually reduces the quality of discussion because it tries to say that dynamics in China are equivalent to the next you would find in pretty much any country which is is vague and lazy as analysis goes, and goes against the HN recommendation that conversations get more precise over time.

We improve it by ensuring the same people don't dominate the justice system and that prosecutions still happen whenever they don't. It was Biden's and his AG's job to do something about this and he fumbled.
