No, just that there is such a concept as "exceeds its power" to the point that when they do, their decisions are not legally valid.

A governor/President cannot go and throw a bunch of journalists in jail. Even if he did, the courts would let them out again.

In a communist dictatorship, there is no power outside the executive.

In the U.S., we send them to private prisons instead and make them do free labor.

Ya, Japanese internment is _exactly_ why other countries are sceptical of this supposed American commitment to liberty.

The important thing to note is that America interned _American Citizens_ merely because they had Japanese ancestry. Just like America's habit of executing its own citizens (including juveniles) and torturing its own citizens, we can't have any faith in your country treating our own people well when it sees fit to teat its own people worse than dirt.

Britain interned German citizens in WW2 (but only a relatively small proportion of them). But Britain never even considered interning its own citizens for having German ancestors. What sort of message would that send?

There's a pretty big difference between internment camps and literally keeping prisoners so you can harvest organs from them (without anaesthetic, often fatally) on demand, my dude. Not that America hasn't done a lot of bad stuff, but they definately do have a significant moral high ground over China.

> the way America did with the Japanese?

Yes, that way. Those are black marks on our history.

But we don’t censor them. We discuss them, teach them, in the hopes of reducing the chances of it happening again. That doesn’t happen in China.

...yes? do you think bad things should be ignored if your side did them also or something?
