The Chinese government is an authoritarian shitshow. This is objective fact.
Before you even try it, don’t “what about” and point to another authoritarian shithole like that makes China’s continuing abuses ok. It’s not, and there is no defending it. To attempt to do so is excusing it, and merely shows your ignorance and/or complicity.
Just a reminder that if Musk can do this with no ownership of reddit, you know the CCP through Tencent has been doing it for ages.
To quote one of the greats, “The Chinaman is not the issue here, dude.”
