Ok, putting aside for a moment China's totally honest and not at all fudged number of incarcerated people...
The US allowing prison labour is something I'm disgusted by.
But it's still a far cry from abducting people based on their religion, sometimes sterilising them so they can't have kids, threatening them with their life, threatening their family, and forcing them to work in factories or in construction, then using that slave labour to undercut and kill foreign competition.
Don't try to twist this into a "you're complaining about China therefore you think the US is great". I'm saying China is far worse. Because they are, and only a complete muppet would think otherwise.
Maybe you're ok with what China does (slavery and genocide), but I am not.
Everything you accuse China of, the US is guilty of the same or worse. How many people in the US are in jail for the crime of being black?
I never said China is great. They are horrible. The US is just worse.
I don't want what you're smoking.
this is how most americans react to being told that they are an authoritarian country.
Not American. You'd think my spelling would've made that obvious.
And lmao at thinking China isn't hugely more authoritarian.
Stop with this tankie nonsense. Genocide is bad. Stop defending it.
I never said it wasn't. But America has killed more people in my liftime than China has. In the evil overlords olympics, America wins the gold medal.
You're here throughout the entire comment section pretending the US is worse (fucking LMAO), and minimising the genocide and slavery that China is engaged in.
Enjoy your car built by slaves from a community being genocided I guess.
I bet if you were around in the 40s you'd be clamouring on getting your hands on a vehicle built in Nazi labour camps.
China didn't invade Iraq, Afgansitan, Syria; bomb Yemen, Libya or support Israel.
Again with the whataboutism.
I criticise China for using slave labour from a religious minority they are commuting genocide on and your reply is "but the US has done bad things too"
Nobody gives a fuck about the US. This isn't about the US. I was just dismissing your whataboutism by pointing out that China is far worse.
Why are you advocating for genocide? Do you get warm fuzzies every time you hear about an Uighur dying in a labour camp? Or any time one gets sterilised?
I bet you support Russia's genocide too.
I do. This is about the horrible things the US has done and is doing. The fact you can't even bear a discussion about this topic says you are a horrible person.
No, the discussion is about Chinese EVs. You've just went on a tangent of whataboutism because your dick gets hard at the thought of Uighur slave labour camps, Uighur sterilisation, Uighur killings, as well as Ukrainian children being raped and killed.
Because you're a piece of shit tankie who should kill himself and rid the world of another turd who supports genocide. You love what China is doing, you love what Russia is doing, you love what the Nazis did, and you probably love what Israel is doing too.
Enjoy your subpar car made by slaves under the treat of having their family killed.
America still killed more people and invaded more countries. You're just brainwashed with propaganda to ignore that.
Da comrade. Don't worry. Soon the Ukrainians, Uighurs, and Palestinians will be exterminated
I have not made a comment about any of those topics. You are delusional, imagining arguments I have not made.
I recommend seeing a doctor.
You are the one celebrating genocide. I'm not the one who needs their head sorted out.
you're replying to imagined arguments I never made. seriously, go see a doctor, you're hallucinating, or can't read English.
You've celebrated genocide from the start. Bye bye.
