Wow, crazy, that kind of police state sounds like an authoritarian nightmare. Any government acting in this way is inherently illegitimate and definitely shouldn't exist in its current state.

Any.

Now now. You know that Reddit is very much in favour of cracking down hard on these protests. China should invoke the emergencies act, send in the shadowy police who don’t have any visible ID, and freeze the bank accounts of anyone who donated $10 to the protest.

Worked great in Canada.

i was raised with three different cultural/national identities and i can assure you that the US is nowhere near a police state or an authoritarian nightmare as china, so i promise you you don't need to get your undies in a bundle.

good night sweet prince

if you think the US is authoritarian you have a severe case of first world privilege. i think you should travel the world and see some real poverty and oppression.

Mostly at the airport when the dirty foreigners like me try to come in. ( I’m always afraid of it, just cos it’s an invasion of privacy. ) US customs agents are always assholes. Worst of any nation I’ve ever been to.

I am surprised all they are checking for are apps, like they are manually checking for them.

I would've thought they would be like at the airports and flash your entire phone.

Police in Portland, OR, USA did this to protesters in 2020 as well. Authoritarianism is authoritarianism.

This is news? It’s how china ( or any late stage fascist state ) works. Not like it’s new.
