You can only downvote on HN after you've acquired enough karma yourself. Bots can't do sh* here, thank you very much.

Do you think PR agencies don't maintain such accounts?

Amazing.

Cool Sinophobia ITT

Dislike of the CCP is not Sinopobia, just as dislike of the Mob isn't anti-Italian.

So many people really wish the CCP would just loosen their grip a bit so that foreigners/Westerners can have real, two-way relationships with Mainlanders.

Honestly, at least in the circles I frequent, the biggest critics of the CCP are either (non-Mainland) Chinese themselves or Sinophiles. Other people simply don't care that much.

The U.S. has the best system of governance in the world. The members of Congress are selected by U.S. citizens and funded by international U.S based companies operating globally. This creates a delicate balance where the interests and goals of all major economies are balanced. The U.S citizens maintain full control of who they vote. At the same time the influencing working trough their mind, and trough their represen…

Congress is actually highly undemocratic when you look at it. Its heavily biased towards rural states with small populations: Montana has the same amount of senators as California.

Its also a tremendously unpopular institution, the approval ratings have hovered at or below 10% for years.

> Everyone in the world who controls market access or money can have a voice. So, less than a million people out of the world's 7,000 million? I truly hope this is sarcasm.

Of course it is!
