No, you're misunderstanding. The Chinese government has significantly more influence and power over Chinese companies than the US federal government has over US companies. People are acting like both are the same, but they are not.
It should be a known fact at this point that US companies share all the data the goverment wants, i don't think the greater influence matters in this case.
This is sort of true, though it’s hard to make a clear distinction between US capitalists and the US government when the capitalists control the government, and have since the 1776 bourgeois revolution.
China is a proletarian state, where the capitalist class is not in control: China's housing minister says real estate developers must go bankrupt if necessary
Whereas the US is a bourgeois state, where the capitalist class is in control.
Yeah okay. Your far-left talking points aren't convincing me and are definitely making your point harder to parse.
yeah what was that? I guess thats lemmy.ml for ya
The original devs of Lemmy use Lenin and Che Guevara as their avatar pics. No one should be surprised that their primary instance is full of tankies.
