China is setting a dangerous precedent for humanity as a whole.

Not caring about what's happening in China is not caring about humanity at all.

Whats different from the attrocities committed by organised terror like ISIS when compared to the atrocities committed by Chinese government towards Tibetians, Muslims, Prisoners etc. ?

For all the boasting about Privacy, Humanity by Apple it gives away data to Chinese govt for someone to rot in their prison or worse death. So is the state of all other companies doing business with China.

Now that it's a super power, it's been flexing its power outside its borders. It aided in the genocide of Tamil population in Srilanka during final Elam war just to get to India at south. It has a military base in Myanmar & we all know what happened there.

Edit:Typo

This is the thing I worry about, technology is making it easier to speak up against the power but its also making much easier to quash any rebellion before it gathers steam. Autocratic empires like china are using technology quite efficiently to do this. God only helps us if an AGI or near AGI gets into the hand of a regime like this before anybody else.
