    China is an authoritarian dictatorship, so if it does anything right that really doesn’t matter.

    Not that the US are better but what a wild stance to just decide to take unprompted

          China is quite possibly less authoritarian than Western governments. All states have and use authority. Better it’s used for the citizens’ housing, health, food, transportation needs than Elon and Bezos.

          Edit: also while discussing authoritarianism, perhaps check the thread title and read the article. This is what Western authoritianism is for and spends.

              Way to deliberately miss the point. The point is ethnonationalism and genocide and apologia/encouragement.

                Yes China does all of those things. Really awesome to see you’ve challenged your own flawed reality so quickly 😄
