The is a completely legitimate and not uncommon viewpoint. But is it relevant in the context of this thread?
What is China for Americans, for us Europeans, is the USA.
Some argue that it's even worse for Europeans because the Chinese military and government can't reach you while in the USA. And there is no safe place for Europeans from the US government, unless they move to China or Russia.
Is that correct?
They're saying (that other people are saying) that in the US, you are safe from the Chinese government/military. In the EU, you are not safe from the US government/military.
Also note that the claim is not that the US is worse than China for Europeans. The claim is that the US is worse for Europeans than China is for Americans.
The last part about relocating is saying that you can only be safe from the US government/military in China or Russia.
Based on extradition agreements, this conclusion seems true enough on the surface. And maybe US military bases in Europe play a role as well. But this is a thread about national security concerns via social media, and I think it's hard to make a broad and definitive conclusion due to the wide variety of soft and hard powers that countries exert internationally.
But it's a problem when your biggest ally treats you like an ally, says you're living off him militarily and spies/hacks you non stop.
China is not a military threat to Europe, it's literally on the other part of the globe. It's only a threat to US geopolitical ambitions.
In Europe we have some direct and some less direct democracy and human rights that a really apply without any Guantanamo exceptions. When there are issues there are laws made, not singular platforms banned. It's not similar and offensive to say so.
Another poster pointed out Guantanamo, but our prison population is unreal compared to Europe. We're rolling back child labor laws. We're burning and banning books. We don't have universal suffrage. We're actively and enthusiastically participating in a genocide against the Palestinian people. We've got a "border zone" in which our cops have huge authority that extends 100 miles in from every border. We're letting Americans starve, sleep rough, and die from preventable disease because taking care of each other is considered "communist". The right to protest is being heavily curtailed. And we've continued to gerrymander away democracy across our nation.
No, we're nowhere close to the human rights or democratic positions of Europe. Which of course, is also not perfect, but along those two specific axes? The U.S. is far, far away.
