This community is meant to advocate privacy, security and freedom in an concise manner, free of prejudice bias, free of politics, free of cultist thoughts.
Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say. - Edward Snowden

The irony of it all. I think Chinese policies have won: cyber-sovereignty, state-owned enterprises, state-backed digital currencies; every industrial bloc is at some point going to adopt Chinese policies because they're afraid of losing power and control and because the PRC is so powerful.
Chinese policy was always based on strengthening themselves as a country. Americans were busy in a leisure sedentary life, and hurling "commie" and other false narrative abuses at China from their smartphones and couches. This is what happens when you stop improvising.
If one asks me personally as an Indian, I am glad this American hegemony is breaking, for all the spying, bombing and bullying they did to foreign countries and citizens remotely, while their popular news media keeps spreading hate and false narratives about others.
One cannot blame China for this, as US is interested in having its cake and eating it too. China banned Facebook because of not complying with stopping ETIM Uighur hate groups, when US is banning TikTok because it is "Chinese" (also that Trump's rally was ruined by TikTokers).
I'm in no way defending America's actions in general, but if you're expecting whoever fills that power void to be better, I've got bad news for you.
And at least American news media can talk about American sins, unlike Chinese media and Tienanmen Square.
I was highly surprised upon detailed research sometime ago by how Tiananmen Square was never a massacre, but some deaths as a result of protest skirmishes, just like regular protests. Even the tankman photo we see from "June 4" is actually a June 5 photo after the protests were done, and is misleading. Western media really blinded us all this while.

Recommend reading them and telling people about this. Tiananmen Square was not a massacre, and Western MSM misled all of us. I got bad news for you if you think China filling USA's void would be happy to spread hate about others.
Also check this out for biased and unbiased media: https://swprs.org/media-navigator/
The article you linked actually says that the reporting understated the reach of the massacre:
Honestly, you seem to have fallen for propaganda, and I doubt any amount of arguing will convince you otherwise.
I showed you objective facts about the journalists that reported about Tiananment at that time, with valid photo and other evidence.
You are the one brainwashed since ages and will refuse to think otherwise, since the West MSM lie has been in front of us for about half a century.
To see how the June 5 picture is cropped in and misrepresented as "tankman crushed" June 4 photo, among other things, made me open my eyes wide.
