    I think it’s a difference of power. In the US it’s the rich that hold the power. In china it’s the political elite. Allowing a disruptor to be killed is not justice, it’s just another form of power play.

      In China its the communist party, which has 90 million members. That means almost everyone in China knows a party member personally. How many members does the governing party in your country have?

        What is this in reference to and what is your argument?

        I was highlighting the difference in power politics. In my country the rich (powerful) use the police to destroy data and raid homes if it looks like someone might disrupt their bottom line. In china it is the same, but something that would be inconceivable here (arresting the rich) is possible because the power dynamics are different.

        I am not discussing which is a better system; though I do have a strong opinion on that.
