You don’t need an ID to download apps on your phone in China. The process is virtually identical to how we do it in the West.

So… conservatives hate China so much, yet copies exactly what China does? 🤔

It’s wild how almost every bad thing in China is worse in the US now.
DupaCycki@lemmy.world 3 days ago
You’d be surprised how many of these “bad things in China” are US propaganda. I guess those millions spent on misinformation are paying off.

I think the limit for me was the articles about forced repatriation, where China had snatch squads sent into other countries to force people to return, even when they had broken no laws recognized by that country. Oh, and the Uyghur genocides, which multiple global newspapers have reported on.
I will accept “US Bad”. These days, any claim of a large empire being perfect should be treated with massive suspicion.

Makes one think: if I’m going to deal with the same level (or worse) of authoritarianism as China, I might as well at least get the lower cost of living and better ability to be car-free that China has.
/this is rhetorical, not actually considering a relocation to China

While that is technically true, do any of the “everything” apps have meaningful functionality without an account/ID?

They are Christian nationalists and many of them want authoritarianism.

Texans hate freedom.
They love being useful idiots, though.

Conservatives have taken up everything they claimed to hate 25 years ago. Go bomb dictators because the dictators are oppressive? Now they want their own dictator. Talk about how women and other segments of society in that country are oppressed? Now they oppress women and other minorities. Hate government spending? Proceed to piss money away at levels never seen before. Rail against government interference in private business? Proceed to meddle with and claim they will tell businesses how to behave. Etc. etc.
