Theoriticaly yes. I mean ignoring the russian thing completely. China still has some serious large scale privacy and human rights violations. Alghtough arguably as with 'woke' in reality tankie is a meaningless term used to divide pepole between us and them instead of actually just discussing the actual issues.

And what are you doing with privacy? We have none here in the US and our lives are not really any worse for it is there? If anything the only time we see any privacy rights is when some one wants to hide how they are hurting us. Corrupt politicians and the like.

There is definietly more privacy than in china( Not that the issue doesnt exist in Us ,Europe or the rest of the world,but its not as bad ,you can get vpns or messaging apps that will tell the goverment to f* off or simply beacuse they dont collect any relevant data like signal ). Also you still left out massive human rights violations, arguably much more important thing .

What rights? To my knowledge all of those claims are made up by our state depart.ent to covet our genocide in the middle east and our funding and training far right extremeists.

Something like half of Chinese people use a VPN and the state censoring western sites Facebook and Twitter is a good thing
