I mean, it could make a difference if you had to use OS specyfic tools, but if you’re going to just code, use whatever you want.

Oil market is global anyway

Perception != reality

Functional democracy needs those things:

• Opposition
• Free media
• Open voting
• Free and fair electricions
• Same law for everyone
• Civil liberties

As far as I’m aware, China doesn’t have any of those things.

Burden of proof is on your side. Prove that China is a democracy and western countries are dictatorships

Because it’s not a democracy

If China is a democracy, what opposition parties and media not related to government are in there?

There’s only one party in China, every communication channel is controlled by party (not even the government).

China consistently ranks near the bottom in every democracy index

What bad news?

When I last checked it, western countries were democracies and china was a totalitarian regime. Did anything changed in the last 5 minutes?
