You are murdering people for so much less..

In Iran, Gaza, Russia (no no, it is not you, it is.. "Ukraine").

You are much worse than them, actually. Though believing yourself to be the light of civilization, soulless robots..

The US has four times as many prisoners per capita as China, the "police state."

edit: some interesting trivia. Due to the combination of America's incarceration rate, a racist justice system, and a completely wealthless and desperate class of freed slaves who were never compensated (although their owners were), Black Americans are 0.5% of the world's population but 5% of the world's prison population.

Another piece of interesting trivia: PRC can legally confiscate and search your devices without warrant nor case.

Oh really?

Your american KGB knows nearly everything about me, as well as about any other person with internet access (and also those without), without any "warrants", "judges", etc

Never even imagined in Soviet Union.

You are the ultimate horror.

"my"? I'm not even american.

"american KGB"? pray tell, who would that be? FBI? NSA? ICE? Even with their tooling, they are still struggling to legally acquire information, and even more so to act on it. There's even considerations of abolishing these agencies.

Try suggesting the abolition of the MSS as a mainland Chinese national and see what happens.

"Fbi, nsa,.." - I dont care much about their acronyms or the organizational structure

"Still struggling to legally acquire information.."

I dont doubt for a single moment, and I dont think you should, that you are right there in their database, with your identity, psychological profile, and all the rest. Now whether it was acquired "legally" i dont know, but when they choose people to murder abroad, I dont think that matters much.

So I call bullshit on your argument.

> dont doubt for a single moment, and I dont think you should, that you are right there in their database, with your identity, psychological profile, and all the rest.

I do. Perhaps I am there. Perhaps I'm not. Perhaps my name is there, but the data is wrong and/or misleading. I'm not going to deny USA's alphabet boys abilities, but I'm not going to glaze them either.

Nor I'm going to ignore that I might also be on the PRC's databases as well. They might not bombing people yet, but foreign policy can change easily.

I'm simply going to do my best to protect my privacy, not pretend that either of these regimes wouldn't kill me if they find it convenient.

That said, it is undeniable that USA would have more issues pulling that off domestically, and, arguably, even internationally. PRC has an entire legal apparatus for doing this domestically.

Perhaps people in the US commit more crimes than people in China?
