Why is anything vaguely anti-CCP immediately spun to include the US? I’m neither chinese or american before anyone jumps to that conclusion.

I was just making a joke about IP theft and imprisoning minorities but probably in part because they’re more or less regarded as the two modern “superpowers”.

Because a lot of people on the internet are from America and have the natural reflex to compare issues to their homes.
Americans also have a focus on their private prison system due to many issues ranging from modern-day slavery, racist takedown of minorities, and abuse of our mentally ill.
What percentage of the population in your country is currently imprisoned? Do you know the stats of minorities vs. imprisoned minorities for your country?
It seems to me like this information is more present in the minds of Americans, thus easier for them to comment comparisons.

I have been observing this two for some time. I don’t know what it is specifically here, but generally it might often be some whataboutism by some tankies I guess.
