    Wow nuance much?

    Yes, China has problems with authoritarianism, and curtailing free speech and such.

    But, there’s a lot of good happening there too.

    It’s not black and white.

    USA v. China is not Gondor v. Mordor.

    Have you been to China?

    If not, you should 100% go and check it out for yourself!

      There’s plenty of nuance but that’s not relevant in generalities.

      there’s a lot of good happening there too.

      No one said it’s all bad. There’s lots of good everywhere. That doesn’t mean everywhere is an equally good place.

      What am I going to find out by going there that I can’t read about? That I’ve been lied to? That the CCP isn’t blocking information about Tianenmen Square and other govt atrocities? That the mere act of protesting isn’t illegal? That they aren’t murdering dissidents? Privacy in it’s entirety isn’t illegal?
