China can coerce it's diaspora through their family ties and social circle back home[1]. That isn't normal and is very difficult to pull off in democratic countries.

- whatever1 2y agowhom did america genocide last year?
- mardifoufs 2y agoUnequivocally supporting and providing complete material support for a country that has been accused (or investigated for) of genocide by credible sources (MSF, ICJ) comes pretty close. Especially when most of the bombs used for said genocide were provided willingly by the US, knowing that it will be used to level a city to the ground.
- whatever1 2y agoOk that is a different thing, America tolerated this situation. So did the rest of the planet, including all of the Arab states.
- Cyph0n 2y agoThere are sufficient “loopholes” that would allow Western democracies to do this. The only difference is that China is forthright about what it does & is willing to do. Look at the Assange fiasco for example, or Guantanamo Bay, or the use of rendition to allied states by the CIA, or sitting in on torture conducted by allies (recently in Yemen), etc. Not to mention the complete disregard of international law when it comes to Israel, and in the same, hypocritical breath, repeatedly insisting that the Russians must follow international law (which they should).
