China being based as always
"As always" is pretty strong, even in this context.
It's a bit of a hyperbole of course. But China is generally much better at regulating corporations like this.
That's what absolute power gets you. Zero checks and balance from the legislative, executive, and judicial system.
You are allowed to completely disagree with leadership and goverment policies and actions and still agree with reasonable restrictions and laws. Course I haven't looked into this so it could very well go way too far.
Nope fuck china and their government. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, doesn't mean you should expect it and support it.
Fuck china and fuck everyone that supports the CCP.
Damn this 'broken clock' is strangely good at being right. With their CO2 emmissions plateuing last month and even starting to fall while targeting zero emissions by 2060, them spearheading cleaner energy this month with the first 4th gen nuclear reactor, and boosting trans rights with a court ruling just last week.
And of course the current new regulation in this post happening right now.
I don't care for ol Winnie and his Thousand Acre Ego, and hate many things China has done. In far too many ways they are backwards, explicitly destructive, and often refuse to negotiate.
However, and likely due to the overreach of government there, they certainly can and do make decisions I can at least agree with. If it wasn't for the general conniving and "fuck you, I prefer one-way streets" way of essentially absolute control, I'd argue they were the good guys. Problem is we know better. The world isn't that simple.
I just wish it was.
We'd be so much further along as a race if we could work together.
Ah, the redditor China Bad^TM^ mindset. Love it
