    Maybe not but the cia have definitely renditioned people during the war on terror.

    The CIA have certainly destabilised more governments that any other organisation I can think of.

    I’ve said in another comment that yes what goes on it chinas bordered is fucked up and should be condemned. What I’m talking about is all the hate about the stuff outside it’s borders when to my stupid Brian they don’t do too much.

    What is it with you people that are quick to criticise other places but will not take criticism of their own country.

    To be abundantly clear, I am not trying to defend China at all, fuck them and their treatment of Uyghurs and citizens in general etc. I am merely trying to find out why China is in vogue, why not NK, Russia, Syria, Sri Lanka etc.

      I feel like I have to repeat myself here, you can’t announce your countrywide spy network with pride year after year and expect not to be turned into a caricature. Every country has stereotypes, some true and others not. China’s biggest is spying and its second is disappearing dissidents. Other countries are less known for it, and I will reiterate, because they do not constantly announce it to a billion citizens.

        You’re right honestly on the whole stereotypes thing and I do think I just got up today in a more pessimistic mood and made these comments.
