Okay and for the hundreds of millions of us who are not, do we prefer our govt knowing about us or the CCP.
I’m not a fan of the USG by any means - I have many many criticisms of the govt and I’ve participated in protests. To put contemporary USG and CCP in the same league is crazy talk.
There's no comparison.
"600 million people have less than 1,000 RMB monthly income" - Li Keqiang, ex-premier of the State Council of China.
I in no way support the chinese political system, but the one we have in the west (EU for me), made average rent higher than an average pension while buying is impossible for a huge percent of people due to overinflated prices. I used to live in a communist country (still live here, just the country doesn't exist anymore), and out of all the bad things they did, atleast they knew how to build affordable housing.
