    that do not engage with politics in China

    There’s no such thing. A person nor company can unilaterally decide “not to engage with politics”, as politics engages with them in thousands of ways. The best they can do is self-censorship, which, even when successfull, is in itself a form of political engagement.

    which one is the dictatorship?

    False dichotomy 🙄

    We need them more than ever now that the US has decided to go full mask off.

    Who’s “we” in this case? And why would they “need” someone now, because of stuff in the US?

      We as in Europeans, which I assume most of the user base here to be, unlike Reddit. Sorry if my assumption bothers you.

        I don’t get the abused spouse like logic, where because you get out of one bad relationship, you’d need to start a new one?

          China is a bad relationship? I’ve got some bad news for you but 90% of what you own is made in China.

            China is a bad relationship?

            It’s an exploitative autoritarian regime, institutionalising severe human rights abuses (1).

            I’ve got some bad news for you but 90% of what you own is made in China.

            That’s not news. It’s not because an abuser buys you gifts, that there’s no abuse going on?

              Yeah, this conversation is pointless. Feel free to isolate yourself, the rest of us are still gonna try to work with what the world can offer.

                Using “us”, as if your opinion is consensus :) And at the same time ignoring all the abuse resulting from your point of view.

                It’s indeed a pointless conversation if one party can simply ignore all the hurt, pain and destruction their solution causes.
