I couldn't seem to find this at all searching youtube, or it was in low quality, so I thought I would upload this myself.

    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.
