That is a hopefully just naive (uninformed?) statement. US tech companies use their power already for censoring political parties/views, sell security/espionage technology to dictatorships/authoritarian governments, have invented dopamine exploiting dark patterns to keep their users captive, have a natural tendency for growing into a monopoly, lobby/threaten governments against the public interest and a lot more.
Please, read. There is so much to learn that it would probably take years for someone to learn in detail everything the US (and the other western powers, -the "good" guys-) have done.
These are just the official war crimes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_war_crimes

This one is dear to me, the CIA activity in Italy to interfere with our democratic process: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_activities_in_Italy

Let's forget about Guantanamo eh?
Bonus: The cost of the post 9/11 US wars in the middle east: https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs/human
Most of America’s worst was in its post-War and imperialist eras. China is entering its own imperialist era.
If you’re upset about American meddling in Italian politics through the 1960s, you’ve surely seen who’s been bankrolling the current crop. In Italy, in the Philippines and elsewhere.
Yet please understand the view on individual rights in China is non-existent. Take for instance Guantanamo bay is child's play compared to treatment of:
- Falun Gong, they organ harvested their followers and sold their organs on the black market
- Entire Muslim population in Re-education camps + chemical sterilization
- Tibet as a people, country and culture is systematically being eradicated by a very well thought out strategy
And many more things happening.
And the imperial games the US played last 30 years. China is playing now, they have secretly taken over many African countries.
And if it wasn't for the military power of the US China would be much more blatant in taking over countries. Wether we like it or not, we need the US as a super power to balance out the others.
The Chinese ones are arguably worse right now, but that's due to a difference in current attitudes of their censors, not because one of them is somehow free from pressure.
This is disingenuous. America hasn’t resorted to polonium tea tactics in the modern era. Chelsea Manning is injured but free.
Going to the homepage of that website though, it is clear what their narrative is:
> Trudeau’s Canadian Fascism Is a Bigger Threat to America Than Putin
Yeah okay.
I'm not even sure that's true; just that conservative people aren't as used to being censored.
Plenty of bizarro left-wing shit about Coronavirus, 5G and evil conspiracies.
Please do tell me how 5G boils your blood or something, and how Coronavirus doesn't exist, or some other silly little thing.
given that the party is seemingly trying to dismantle them to the best of their ability I'm inclined to think even they agree
and competitors! let's not forget alstom, alcatel, nokia and many more
