The organs I don't know about but the reeducation camps are not exactly secret, both for Uyghurs and their own people. There are many issues the US has but at least the average citizen doesn't have their government disappearing them for thinking the wrong thoughts.
The US has a ton of problems, I'm not saying it's a great country to live in necessarily (I wouldn't move there given the choice). But it's not a dictatorship where laws are optional for the government.
Maybe freedom doesn't mean anything to you when you're not the one being reeducated though.
"Lol" is always such a strong argument. Really shows that your point is to be taken seriously.
If you think that the rule of law in dictatorships is really no worse than that of a democratic country (even one that's currently in bad shape) I think you're delusional honestly.
We have a lot of problems with our legal systems but we don't have gulags where we send political opponents to disappear. We don't have government edicts telling our journalists what they are allowed to talk about.
When your own country does bad things it's easy to look at other counties with rise tinted glasses. 國外的月亮比較圓
Jesus Christ it's impossible to argue with tankies. Either they're delusional or they straight up lie.
If America where you have to vote for one of the two guys you don't like is a "democracy" , then so is China.
Simplistic reductive thinking. "I don't like the guys that are elected so it's the same as living in a dictatorship" ridiculous.
Thesaurus.
China is a democracy. They have voting. You can vote for one guy that does the same shit instead of two that do the same shit.
