The situation is most definitely not the same. If it was the same then corporate media wouldn't spend much time criticizing China, they'd be happy with having yet another country to freely exploit.
This kind of thing never receives serious consequences in the US anymore. Hell, do enough white collar crimes and pedophilia and they make you president.

I'll be the first to criticize the US, but you're throwing stones in a glass house.

I mean tbf they did say "white collar criminals," not "billionaires." China is famously more willing to slap its rich criminals than America.

I've seen so much shady stuff with execs in China. They're stuffing their pockets just the same. What is this post
