    Anyone who even compares a for profit corportation to the world’s largest hostile militaristic dictatorship is an idiot. Both bad, but on completely different scales.

      US looks very militaristic to me. It has a very broken democracy, and a history of supporting/causing brutal dictatorships.

        The USA hasn’t taken territory since 1946.

        The major reason for the USA being so broken is due to deregulation and corporate greed. Which is a little different in nuance to Authoritarian China.

          Just to play devil’s advocate here, how many military bases has China got in other countries, compared to the US?

        At the very least, Google and Facebook have to step back if caught. Meanwhile, Chinese companies often don’t care about EU privacy laws. Still avoid them altogether, any way.
