The nightmare of a dystopian system. Recently it was discovered that an elementary school was built on an old heavy metal processing site, and the kids had 1000x the safe limits of lead exposure. But parents only found this out when they went to hospitals far away, because the local government told the local hospitals to lie about the exposure levels.
No, that’s very different. That’s a mega corporation doing horrible things, and they can and will get sued and charged over it.
My example was the actual Chinese government hiding the issue. And this happens all the time in China. There are entire villages where more than half the population has cancer due to contaminated ground water. And the other residents who don’t have cancer can’t do anything because they don’t have any money to deal with it.
This is just the tip of the iceberg with China. Remember, all their news agencies are state controlled and they censor everything coming out of there. There’s no “free press” to report on these kinds of issues. The rest of the world only hears about it when it becomes too big to control.
Another example is kidnapping of children. It’s a big issue in China and we’re only just starting to hear about it because it’s become such a problem. Same thing with the “revenge against society” attacks.
My point is that China is already the dystopia you worry about.
I don’t know if you are a straw man or xenophobic. Everyone of those points I made were not settled. The U.S. government was not held responsible in any case. They lied and hid stuff until local journalist uncovered or a whistleblower exposed what ws happening.
In China they do the samething but in a different manner. The information still gets out, if not then you wouldn’t know about it. That, or you are making shit up (xenophobic)?
My wife sees the prices as well. Evetything had a min of 350% on top of. I really do hope China wins or something, if not we are so fucked.
People in China are currently living your nightmare, and you want China to win?
What nightmare?

Hate to tell you but the U.S. is no different. We just make sure they die before it gets national news.

The media stuff is just flat out laughable.

If your point is that “bad things happen in the US also”, then you’re arguing in bad faith. Bad things happen everywhere. Bad people exist everywhere.
Hell, one of the links you shared is from a legal news site reporting on the lawsuit of the issue!
That can’t even happen in China.
