China is spending billions on soft power
so China is<p>- lead by a billionnaire dictator and son of veteran communist party member, who has shown to purge his enemies, jail innocents&#x2F;reporters without trial, disappear others.  He oppresses the will of hong kongers to self govern, and acts like a crybaby whenever Taiwan, a self-governing democracy, does anything political<p>- controlled by a &quot;congress&quot; of billionnaires, who work together to exploit workers for pennies on the dollar, turn a blind eye to deadly air pollution&#x2F;water pollution&#x2F;poisonous food in favor of money, and when in danger, flees to Australia&#x2F;Canada&#x2F;US with billions<p>- member in WTO, but never abides by any of the rules.  Foreign companies are forced to give up tech, partner with locals, suffer 30% import tax, and eventually, leave due to unfairness. And other countries loses factories&#x2F;jobs&#x2F;communities.  Internet companies are sometimes banned outright.<p>Of course China needs to spend billions spreading its false&#x2F;hateful messages via its 50cents army on reddit, facebook, etc.  It has a cruel and evil authoritarian dictatorship, that if unchecked, will swallow the world
