    It’s funny to me that they rather risk random censorship than, idk, humiliatingly detained with a chance of dying. At least CCP is bad in a consistent way, Trump is just bad in a very random way.

      Also, China acknowledges things like climate change, while now any mention of climate change will get your funding cut.

        Not only acknowledges, but actively trying to cut down emissions. They’re a growing country(that is still growing because china is crazy huge) and factory of the world, per capita of emission is significantly lower than US. American should be ashamed for letting this happen despite being a developed country, and now its actively screwing over the humanity’s future.
