People do still talk about Jim Crowe laws, yes, and also the same singular party rules China today and they still regularly suppress protests with military especially in regions they more recently expressed complete authority over such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Tibet.
Why does every discussion around China devolve into this as if the US doesn’t also do this?

Whatabout what about whatabout
Why does every discussion about China also have to be about their many many enemies all over the world as a direct result of their opaque cruelty?
Why can’t we just discuss what is wrong with China?
Because this exact statement can also be applied to the US? Which to be frank I’m all for talking about, the US probably has the most enemies in the world. But regardless this discussion is intended to be about the government impacts on their citizens.
Alright then go start a comment thread about it somewhere else. Good luck, don’t forget to talk about black laws and Tulsa massacre.

What complete authority does the PRC have over Taiwan? Their position now is the same as its been for seventy years - they consider it part of their country but exercise no actual control over it.
They also aggressively censor and harass any claims that Taiwan is its own country.
