      China has been doing it for a long while, but when they do it, it’s an authoritarian overstepping of the Government, unlike when the EU does the same but slowly, which is amazing and beautiful and celebrated.

        Don’t know why the downvotes. It’s true, China has been doing this for a while now. We should ban gambling on games and also on regular sports. It’s literally funding a parallel parasitic society that produces nothing and only withdraws from the proletariat.

          Don’t know why the downvotes. It’s true

          I can’t explain the downvotes of others but I can explain mine :

          • China doing something good is good, but doesn’t make China itself good
          • EU doing something good is good, but doesn’t make EU itself good
          • the EU doing something like China doesn’t make it China

          So I downvoted because I understood that the person posted assimilated similar behavior to similar intent. Regulating in a one party regime is NOT like regulating in a supranational political and economic union comprised mostly of parliamentary republics or parliamentary constitutional monarchies even if one regulation itself is literally the same.

          Your comment is better written than mine and you are not downvoted, so maybe it was the language I used and not the message. Who knows.
