      Your reading comprehension remains sorely lacking. The whole point is that it’s not newsworthy, but you can still collect information on it happening by looking up extradition statistics or w/e

        Wow 4 hexbear upvotes and one from .ml, you guys are so busy with apologising for Chinese and Russian authoritarianism lately, I don’t know how you get anything else done. It’s not racist to point out that shit like this isn’t ok. You can pretend it’s not happening all you like, nobody is fooled.

          Yes but it is racist to assume that it’s happening because you just feel in your bones that china bad.

          This is why we have to actually establish beyond ‘yeah but that’s the sort of thing they do’ that it’s actually something bad happening, which is the point of the conversation

          ‘Anyone that doesn’t automatically assume everything bad about China is true must be evil’ is not a good argument

          Edit- Since mods want to control the conversation let me just say here that in answer to the post below I choose not to base my actions and thoughts on people I don’t consider sensible - ‘but these people I hate do it so I will too’ is the worst possible reason for anything

            It’s pointless debating with hexbear trolls. And it’s equally bad to stick your head in the sand and just deny that China is a highly authoritarian state. Tankies will never allow anyone to criticise their “best model for society” unchallenged, even when it’s entirely justified. Why is it aok for them to criticise everything Western countries do in rabid terms but the minute China or Russia does something shitty, it’s suddenly racist? Because hexbear, that’s why. It’s their whole MO. Dogpile the comments, get everyone worked up, and they’ve had their fun and will move on. It’s classic tankie authoritarianism, hiding behind virtue signalling. If you can’t see they are just “dunking on the libs” as per usual, I don’t know what to say to you.
