    Yeah, how DARE they want to be sovereign in their own country and keep foreign meddling out! Tyranny! Authoritarianism! Human rights violation!

      Amazing how US neocons think they have a divine right to rule over the world.

      What’s the point of making a comment like this? You’re just mocking something that no-one said.

        I hear people say it all the damn time. That if China doesn’t want to be hated or seen as totalitarian, they should just submit to AUKUS/EU oversight, do what they say, and only run their country like the West does.

          I don’t see how that’s relevant here. I’m sure you do hear people who say that dumb junk, but it would be nice to not bring up their generic junk on a specific informative post. It gets in the way of discussion of the actual post content.

      I didn’t get the same “wholesome CIA” vibe - definitely some sketchy bias around the Chinese govt, calling counterespionage arrests “kidnapping” is pretty rich when talking about a conflict with the government running the world’s largest prison system - but I felt like most of the critique was towards the CIA for hubris, and the OPM for collecting and then losing piles of sensitive data.

      Like @triplenadir, I didn’t get that impression either. It looks to me like the article is emphasizing how effective the post-2012 anti-corruption effort was, why corruption in government is an existential risk, and how CIA carelessness ruined their clear advantage.

    Good. Don’t let China become US puppet just like Europe
