I am kind of tired of these posts. They need to be mentioned and discussed but you view these as an "anti west" article from my understanding.
The US, UK and other countries are bad but they are no where close to Russia, China, Iran or New Zealand in terms of the level of authoritarian surveillance. China and Russia especially are known for attacking and aiming to destroy free expression.
US is definitely worse than China, mister/miss
?
China literally bans opposition and free expression. The Chinese courts are literally just a show for the one single controlling party of China.
No it doesn't. China is FAR more free than the US.
