lol, you really think the American citizens will vote out the government or impeach their president because they act unethically or immorally? I'd love to know what you're smoking.
The question is not if they will , but if they can .
Huawei is an arm of the Chinese government. The Chinese government has imprisoned millions of Muslims in a concentration camp monitored by Huawei equipments. No amount of trolling can misdirect the sins of a nazi like entity
Not trying to justify misdeeds of Chinese / US government. But it is really far-fetched to label a company as "Nazi like entity" simply because it has relationships with a bad government.
What about the million Uighurs in Chinese concentration camps? The scale of state crimes are vastly different here.

Are you aware of the government using Snowden's relatives as collateral in order to get him to return to the US? Pretty sure they've been safe this whole time.
The people that know him are protected. And that is definitely worth noting. But I'm far less confident that he would be treated fairly.
Maybe, maybe not, but there is precedence in America for it.

What about the hundred thousand Japanese American internees in American concentration camps? I don't think the scale is that different, normalized by population and stage of development.

Not one of those sources in the Wikipedia article had any evidence other than news articles about one UN committee member saying she saw evidence of it being 1 million people in camps. Not firsthand, just reports. Every other article on the fact repeats this. Nearly a dozen citations and it's all just news articles about the same story. I tried searching for the UN committee on racial discrimination tabled documents…

It makes no difference if they will not, or if the activation energy is exorbitantly high. If you want to go with technicalities, so can anybody in the world, revolution is always an option.

That was almost 80 years ago, whereas China is doing this today. Past US actions don't somehow invalidate current complaints about massive human rights violations by the CCP. This is purely whataboutism.

Nice, Huawei Finally pointed this out, so the next step is hopefully somebody pointing out the difference. There will never be a Snowden in China. You can guarantee their life, or their love one's life will be held hostage. So not only does the "West" ( So to speak ) has a system in place protecting these people, they also have a system to vote them out and elect a new form of government should the ultimate worst com…
I disagree. The reason there will be no Snowden in China is primarily that China doesn't hide its spying, and secondarily becaue China does not maintain the pretense of moral superiority on international scale. Snowden-type leak from China would not change the way Chinese citizens perceive their government, and nobody else would care, much less exert outside pressure to change things. Leaks and whistleblowers will ha…
Scooter Libby was prosecuted during the subsequent investigation and of course pardoned by Trump.
