And not just because of all the other evidence, including their lend-and-foreclose practices in South America and Africa, their imprisonment of the Uighers, their absolute disregard and flouting of international IP laws and their constant spying on America (and every other country in the world).
Power + Size + Manufacturing Control + Complete Lack of Ethics. It's funny, we're so quick to castigate American politicians on the left and right because they are easy targets and there is no blowback. But watching Americans bend over backwards for the CCP (I'm looking at you NBA, among others) because it's an actual political risk...wow.
There is no question that the CCP is a vile regime. Nobody should take my criticism of US leaders as any sort of justification for the CCP. It's only because US leaders are accountable to voters and as part of a healthy democracy should be held to account that I chose to hold them to account, whereas Chinese leaders are not accountable, which is why it can be such a vile regime.
