I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

    They’re a dictatorship/have no elections ≠ they aren’t a dictatorship, and they do have elections, but I, as a foreigner who’s been raised on a constant diet of anti China sentiments, don’t consider them ‘legitimate.’

    I don’t consider the elections of most western countries legitimate, but I still wouldn’t call their leaders dictators

        No, they have elections.

        Lol, China’s leaders do change. Maybe you should have done any research before just believing the lie you’ve been told often enough.

        and none of the east’s

        Are ok, you’re just a racist.

            I am once again asking you to do even a shred of research before wading into this discussion.

              It would help prevent a lot of useless bickering if you could provide sources for your own claims instead of begging others to do the work for you.
