In the US and Canada and other western nations there are calls to defund the police while seeing a breakdown in the rule of law. Meanwhile, the Chinese government offers zero human rights to its citizens and has the ability to control every single aspect of its society with an iron fist. In short, China can direct society and the economy as much as any government can in order to strengthen the country and achieve it's domestic and international goals. We're totally f*cked.
If you read between the lines you'll see that the term "defund the police" actually refers to restructuring of police forces such as contract policing i.e. the RCMP, to try to correct the current breakdown in the rule of law, specifically the racism within police forces. and if you think we are totally f*cked then you are welcome to move to china. I think the rest of us will stay here as we enjoy our human rights.
