The problem with China is really the government. Democracy is a concept that the CCP really doesn’t like.

Am I the only one seeing the irony here? Is paying lip service to democracy enough? Legal gerrymandering, electoral college, voter suppression…

To be fair, though: The US government isn’t really all that keen on democracy, either.

  I 100% agree. The fact that congress can mandate censorship is incredibly problematic. Hopefully it gets shot down by the supreme court.

    If you’re willing to give the us government even a shred of forgiveness despite constantly proving they’re completely undemocratic, you should look into how Chinese governance actually works and see why the CPC has such high approval ratings from the population.
