I believe you.

>- These Chinese companies do have to comply with local government regulations to be able to operate in China. Does that make every business in China evil? You have to realize that the Chinese government !== everything China. People in China needs to live and work, that means they have to grow their economy and start businesses regardless of what kind of government they have to put up with. Equaling running a successful business in China to supporting totalitarian politics is like equaling being successful in America to supporting patriarchy and white supremacy.

The human aspect of the regulations are the problem, so it's not a good comparison because you can run a business in the US without supporting patriarchy and white supremacy. The system is able to change if people vote and consume differently.

This isn't possible in China (you can't run a business that's not aligned wit the gov) because you can only consume from aligned sources, therefore the only way things could change is backlash from abroad, from boycot.

It's a difficult situation for you and chinese people because nobody wants to get sucked into a conflict, but I hope that you understand my viewpoint too.
