I like how it's always about the money, not about morals or lives. People in China are stomped down and denied basic rights but let's keep trading like normal and ensure the CCP never has to improve

If it was about morals or lives trade with world powers, specially the US would be impossible. Reality is that at the end of the day, moral arguments are just a tool used in economic conflicts to justify whatever is convenient to the accuser.

Within the countries? Yes, China is the worst. In relation to the world? The US is the big bad without even real competition. Also the core of the argument was that the world is full of crimes and violations of human rights perpetrated by a lot of countries, it's only when it's convenient to the West that morals and principles become important, but for any sanctioned country there is 1 that does the same and is safe, because they are aligned with the West, or worst, because they are not considered strategic or important and are ignored in consequence.
