Except that in China, the people who do that will disappear. The propaganda of trying to make US and China government appear the same is making people dumber. and is one of the most heavily used tools in China’s online propaganda arsenal. | ||||||||

In the USA, they don’t disappear, they commit suicide in their car typically. In Russia, they fall out of windows and off of balconies. I don’t think it’s accurate to call the circumstances equivalent, or the regimes equivalent. But there are some remarkable similarities, and their goals are similarly structured - to keep those in power powerful and to enrich the wealthy. | ||||||||

>The propaganda of trying to make US and China government appear the same [...] is one of the most heavily used tools in China’s online propaganda arsenal. The government could do some very easy things to remove this tool from China's toolbelt. Like you know, prosecuting rich people when they've earned it. | ||||||||

Who was trying to make the US and China appear the same? I think you have reading comprehension problems, buddy. If you look at the comment I responded to, they were remarking on selective enforcement in the USA. I merely observed that this isn’t a unique feature of the US system, it happens in China too. I said nothing about the severity of the consequences. | ||||||||
