>China is not, in any way, even remotely like Nazi Germany. Yes it absolutely is. I checked your comment history. I'm not interested in endless discussions with propagandists that have zero objective views regarding China. Weird how my colleagues that immigrated from rural China state that it's exactly like you say it isn't.

> Yes it absolutely is. Well, if you say so. I just think it's an absurd and offensive comparison to draw. China hasn't waged any wars in decades, isn't carrying out any mass killing and doesn't espouse racist ideology. It's not a democracy, but it is a country in which living standards have been improving at a rapid pace for the vast majority of people over the last generation

>Well, if you say so. I just think it's an absurd and offensive comparison to draw

It's absurd and offensive that you don't recognize the ongoing atrocities of the CCP and the pure evil behind their political ideology and ambitions.

> hasn't waged any wars in decades

There are different types of warfare besides physical combat. They regularly wage war on the world through IP theft, espionage, cyber, etc. They also wage war against their own people who dare speak out, have practically enslaved the majority of the population, and violently suppress dissent of any kind.

> isn't carrying out any mass killing and doesn't espouse racist ideology

Uyghurs would disagree, and the CCP is an ethnocentric political entity. China is a de facto ethnostate. Official commentary on their ventures in Africa would disagree as well. China regularly espouses racism against other east asian ethnicities as well.

You are maliciously ignorant.

Also I found the motions regarding the emails. You're lying that the government truncated was dishonest as the response to motion makes clear, and the fact that the motions were denied. The entire email and follow up are available. If you're going to lie, you should do it about less easy to verify things. The fact that you don't think China is even close to Nazi Germany tells everyone everything they need to know. Th…

> You're lying that the government truncated was dishonest as the response to motion makes clear The government's response to the motion does not dispute that the words are a paraphrase of someone else. The government tries to rationalize its original decision to leave that information out.

"The government argues in opposition that this argument fails because it never claimed that the excerpted portion of the email reflected the defendant’s personal thoughts. Rather, regardless of whether the email reflected the defendant’s own thoughts or were notes from a lecture, it intended to demonstrate that the defendant had an interest in promoting China’s scientific and economic development, which went to his motive for committing the charged offenses. As between the two, the government has the better argument here. Even assuming the excerpted portion of the email reflected nothing more than notes from a lecture the defendant attended, it was included in the publicly filed complaint and thus could be disclosed, the government noted for what it was worth that the defendant wrote and sent the notes to himself, and the email did at some level reflect the defendant’s interest in Chinese scientific and economic development."
