    This meme is just fundamentally wrong and Chinese propaganda.

    I personally wouldn’t support a country that has harmed trans people by removing the ability to find and buy safe* hormone replacements. Let alone commit a literal Nazi Germany with it’s own Uyghur Muslim population which is a marginalized group of people in the country by making literal concentration camps for them and sometimes cutting off their balls so that they can’t reproduce.

      I’m not a big fan either, but China is still objectively less evil than the USA. I personally can’t think of any criticism of China that doesn’t equally or more apply to the US as well and only one of those states is actively threatening war and trying to starve other countries through sanctions. Anti-trans legislature is also common among USAmerican states as well as the UK and parts of continental Europe, and actual genocide and concentration camps are European and American staples. I don’t like the PRC myself, but they are easily far less destructive towards the rest of the world than the West is.
