Recently I have been getting a lot more annoyed about China. Sure they can ban things, it's their right. But I just don't understand why we are not doing the same.

Because we are not them? There must be a fine distinction which results in freedom of speech

You don't understand why your own nation isn't following the tantrums of a totalitarian regime? That would make your own nation into China, why the heck would you want that?!

Because it's an unfair competition.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Also maybe the genocide in Xinjiang. The constant attacks against India. Daily sending war planes into Taiwan's air defense zone. Using armed fishing vessels to militarily attack the Philippines. Raiding the fishing grounds of poor countries by turning off transponders and sending hundreds of fishing vessels into their national waters at night. Destroying world heritage nature reserves to steal fish. And don't get me…

> India is the one that has been attacking neighbouring borders, especially since the fascists came to power.

Even calling the current government 'fascicists' can be excused, but not 'attacking neighbouring borders'. Oh wait, I think you meant 'attacking neighbouring borders on provocation', yeah, that's right. China is still trying to claim (rightfully and legally) Indian and Bhutanese territories, among other regions.

To put it bluntly: Because we're better than them.

Not by a large margin, but yes, yes you are, to some extent still.

I just wished you and Europe where as good as your PR, I really and genuinely do
