Well the question isn’t about taking China seriously, but admitting that China was right in the first place. US’s argument is that China can spread disinformation on Tik Tok, which is exactly what China was saying about Facebook etc… So, China, which doesn’t have freedom of speech banned those sites for promoting foreign interests. US is now trying to do exactly the same to Tik Tok.
IF you accept USA’s argument here, then you implicitly accept China’s argument since they’re the same argument. So, again, it doesn’t matter what China says, what matters is what you just said:
So there by admitting, China was right, countries SHOULD block foreign influence.
Just because I don’t take China’s crocodile tears seriously doesn’t imply that I accept the US’s argument here.
Just to be clear then, you’re opposed to this bill passing?
I’m laughing at the Chinese government. They obviously don’t believe what they’re saying, so why should anyone else take them seriously?
It’s like a klansman complaining about racism. A missionary complaining about proselytizers. A smoker complaining about second hand smoke. Etc.
OK but again to be clear, you’re opposed to the bill?
China bad for blocking insta. USA good for blocking Tiktok. Its consistent when you are a dog for the state department
