the West, so afraid of strong government, now has no government. Only financial power :very-smart:
China is the last sovereign country in the world. Authoritarian but willing -- unlike the U.N.-governed countries -- to give its people the freedom to do what they want. :xi-lib-tears: :some-controversy:
One wonders what that's even supposed mean. It feels like one of those classic lib gotcha lines
I think the implication is that the "authoritarian" Chinese government restricts people's freedom to what it deems acceptable ("b-but what about muh :freeze-peach: )... as if western liberal governments don't fucking do that as well.
It's especially ironic since at this point JC is literally on the run from a shadowy conspiracy, having learned that the global anti-terrorist organization he was part of was completely subverted (or rather, it had been a puppet from the very start), and potentially having overheard that FEMA has concentration camps planned for dissidents. Some freedom.
I actually did play this when it came out. It was amazing but the surprise aliens made the plot incomprehensible to me
China is on the fucking security council, and the UN is not a governing body, holy shit

:gamer-gulag:
JC Denton can sometimes be almost a comrade, but you'll have to excuse him here, his :liberalism: is augmented.
