Taiwan says hopes world would sanction China if it invades

Lol I could find you similar human rights and free speech laws in China as well but you’re an idiot if you think they mean anything to the CCP. See North Korea for an example of how the people being poorer actually benefits those in power. Why would China ever want Shanghai to have a standard of living and wealth where they still begin to start thinking about western values and protesting for their “rights”? The economy is at the very bottom of the government’s priority list. You forget these are people who are billionnaires and not accountable to the public vote or election cycles, so have zero incentive to give a shit about what you’re talking about.
