Chinese people are people too, you know.

But chinese government is not a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

North Korean is also human too. So is those in nazi Germany für Ibm.

Nazis are not in fact people for the purposes of discussion. They are movie extras who get shot as fast as possible.

You really had to go full Godwin dehumanization on a billion people right away?

The nazi regime is very much comparable to the Chinese communist party in methods and death toll, about the only thing they don't measure up on is overt military aggression.

Why do you dismiss any comparisons with the Nazis out of hand? Seems like an exceptionally poor way to learn from history.

> comparisons with the Nazis out of hand

Because they're generally silly hyperbole, just like this example. If you put China in the same tier as Nazi Germany, you're missing the forest for the trees.
