    Yeah no, i still prefer being spied on by the US over being spied on by China.

    Better yet, get me a computer that has only open source hardware, one that I can finally call my own

        Or by a government committing genocide on subsets of it’s citizens? A government that has disappeared citizens for decades for bit falling in line? Yeah, the US does that now too but at least it’s just starting. At least the US has had some sort of free press until recently. Good luck with any of that in China

        Also, you missed the part where I said that nobody should be able to spy on me, we need open source hardware. That is the much bigger point. The US and China both suck, I don’t want to have to deal with either

            Oh come on, really now? Uyghurs. Let’s start there?

            And yes, all that is happening, and no, China is notoriously NOT cooperating, and yes, they have a reach as even uyghurs in Europe are followed when they try and speak out.

            None of this is controversial, this is well established. Then again you’re one of those “I did my research, I read a Facebook page!” type skeptics that always come up with these weird requirements that can’t be met before you’ll believe anything that doesn’t match your warped world view.

            China is committing genocide on Uyghurs, that is established fact. If you don’t want to believe that, fine, but I would like to let you know that I have a bridge I can sell you at great discount!

                Sure, I can give you sources but just your “prove it beyond reasonable doubt” tells me that it doesn’t matter what I give you, you won’t even read it, you just want “China great”

                I mean, I have no problem whatsoever with seeing that the US is fucking evil, because it is. Yet for you, the mere notion that China might not be the perfect paradise seems impossible to grasp

                Makes me wonder, are you one of those Chinese government funded shills?

                I’ll send you reading materials if you like but I honestly doubt you have any interest in expanding your knowledge at al.

                  extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence, believing propaganda is not it. our worry is best placed on the country openly funding genocide and using their power to extort everyone else.

                  you can send my lemmy contact info to the CPC if you think that makes me suitable to get paid to shitpost on a very niche forum.

                    JFC, THERE IS EXTRAORDINARY EVIDENCE YOU FUCKWAT

                    You just don’t want to look at it and if someone snacks it in your face you’ll just say it’s propaganda.

                    China awesome! Chinese government NEVER does anything bad or evil, they would never!

                    There is no convincing you as you’re either a really sad troll or a China paid shill, or just a severely naive little boy who really never learned to look beyond your own nose
