I feel like I have to repeat myself here, you can’t announce your countrywide spy network with pride year after year and expect not to be turned into a caricature. Every country has stereotypes, some true and others not. China’s biggest is spying and its second is disappearing dissidents. Other countries are less known for it, and I will reiterate, because they do not constantly announce it to a billion citizens.

I am merely trying to find out why China is in vogue, why not NK, Russia, Syria, Sri Lanka etc.

Scale.

Yeah nobody is hating on Russia… 😂🤣
