        I’m saying that the meme is correct insofar as Western oligarchs can commit crimes and participate in extremely large criminal conspiracies, as proven by the Epstein files. No such scandal has been proven of China.

        I would conjecture that the political system of the PRC is more resilient to the kind of corruption and abuses that need to exist for decades for a conspiracy of that scale to develop. I don’t really have hard proof of that but it’s at least inarguable that comparing the West to China, China is 1 - 0 in terms of not being exposed for having a giant ring of pedophiles that control everything.

        Is your assumption that an equivalent conspiracy exists, despite no evidence? And to the extent that there are abusers and evildoers in the CPC: why aren’t they in the Epstein files? There’s people from almost every other country on the planet on there, why no one from the second largest country on Earth and the main trade partner of the US, where most of the people involved are based?
