    We also criticize our government for doing this.

    Where is that hypocrisy?

    Maybe in the fact that the Chinese citizens can’t criticize their own government for fear of being disappeared. Their only avenue is to criticize ‘the west’.

    It’s sad watching these types say anything at all about hypocrisy.

      But chinese people have protests all the time. Do you think they all get disappeared? Or did the media make that shit up so you don’t feel bad about the US doing the same shit?

      Shit, in 2020, we saw the biggest protests since the Iraq War (which the media didn’t cover), and every single city responded by saying “You can’t do that, it’s illegal”, and proceeded to beat the shit out of them and disappear them in significant numbers.

      99% of the time, such direct actions are unnecessary as the media is very effective at shutting down criticism of the government. Just look at the coverage of student protests.
