**World news, outside the US.** Original rationale: unless moderated, internal US news and politics often dominates world news in English, because of its demographic position. This magazine/community is to post news and articles from around the globe, but posts must have a mainly non-US component or focus. Submissions related in some way to the Alan Weisman book *The World Without Us*, which is about what would happen if humans suddenly disappeared from the planet, are also welcome. :)

Yes. And the US did and does use the exact same methods all across the world. Lots of this info is now public thanks to the leaks of the past couple decades post 911.

"Whatabout"

Pointing out hypocrisy to a nation full of propagandist idiots is not whataboutism. Most Americans are completely ignorant to what their country does.

You are literally doing whataboutism. The article is about China. Nobody mentioned the US. Then you come in and go "what about the things that US does????"
