I’ve often heard that China is authoritarian, particularly due to events like the suppression of student protests in Hong Kong. However, I’m curious about more recent examples. Conversely, I’ve been hearing about the UK’s Online Safety Act being used to target Wikipedia editors and silence protests, which raises questions about authoritarian tendencies there as well. What specific examples do you have that demonstrate whether these countries are authoritarian or not?
But I’m asking about real examples not made up ones. And if you are referring to secret services all countries have those.
What do you mean, made up…? Are you even serious? Example for police in other countries Example for disappearing people
And of course you send me the article from a paper that’s the mouthpiece of some US billionaire. Would you take it seriously if a chinese paper said the US ‘secret police’ is disappearing people? They are going to paint the worse possible picture since they are rivals.
I mean, they are though.
It takes 0 effort to find other sources if you actually try to look this sort of stuff up. I feel like you’ve basically decided the answer and are just looking for people to validate your opinion.
I may have my mind made up, but I could change it if people said something more easily verified, like the kind of police brutality that happens in US, instead of people disappearing like the chinese has ufos contracted, that just sounds like conspiracy theories made up by the americans.
I find it sort of amusing that your example for the UK is the Online Safety Act given that China has the GFW. Like, I find the Online Safety Act problematic (along with a number of other things the UK has done), but the scale is barely even comparable lol.
This is the kind of thing I’m looking for, not ufos disappearing people.
Then search in Chinese or any other non-English language, what the fuck?
Hahaha you cited the NYT and the Guardian. Awesome sources. Your billionaire-owned “sources” mean nothing here.
Good thing you dismiss what you disagree with without any further arguments. Waste someone else’s time please.
Treating the NYT seriously, after watching it spend two years being to the Gaza Holocaust what Der Sturmer was to the original Holocaust, is obscene.
Made up? Lol there are numerous examples of what he mentioned (for China, obviously). Online search os your friend.
