I really don't get why more people (in the US anyway) aren't talking about this. Like I know a lot of Americans are "that's their business not mine" but I find it dehumanizing and hard to comprehend that people are not talking about this. No one in China deserves how their government is controlling them. It's Orwellian and just awful.
Just like their avian drones. A plastic thing has no feelings, and does not have the desire to be free. Therefore no bird in the sky must have psychological need of its wings, and therefore cutting them off would cause no harm.
