    Look, Chinese people reportedly care more about democracy and feel more in a democracy than USians, according to a study in Europe! Let’s now proceed to ignore all of that because they’re afraid of getting sent to labor camps, even when the prison population in the US is larger than in China while having 1/5th of the population!

    For the record, I’m not particularly a fan of the Chinese model, it’s just that the situation in the US is so bad that it’s going to make almost anything look great in comparison lmao

      china isn’t honest about labour camps for muslim minorities, why would they be about the incarceration rate?
