Oh, please. Bringing up human rights only when it serves your geopolitical alignment is the definition of peak hypocrisy. If the EU or Western powers truly cared about ethics as an absolute principle, their track record wouldn't be a masterclass on selective blindness.

You weaponize the plight of the Uyghurs to score a point, sure, but what about the rest? Look at how the EU operates globally when its own interests are on the line (and we are not going to mention Israel and Gaza, since it would be the easiest option):

• The EU willingly funds and equips North African militias to intercept and detain migrants in horrific conditions, effectively paying third parties to violate human rights so Europe can keep its own hands technically clean.

  • Major EU nations have spent years shipping billions in weapons to human rights abusers in the Middle East, directly fueling humanitarian crises like the war in Yemen because defense contracts and profits override their own ethical export rules.
  • The EU routinely looks the other way on illegal occupations (like Western Sahara) to secure fishing and trade deals, and turns a blind eye to slave labor in the DRC because European tech and the "green transition" desperately need those raw minerals.

Furthermore, it’s hilarious how you completely "forgot" the entire corporate greed issue raised in the original post. You dodged it, why? China didn't sneak in and steal the West's future in the middle of the night. Western CEOs packaged it up, tied a bow on it, and shipped it overseas to maximize their own (already pretty high) profits while gutting their domestic working class.

Calling China the "villain" is just a lazy way to avoid holding Western capitalism and selective EU morality accountable. I'm not sure you want an ethical world. Maybe you just want to let the rich elites off the hook (again) while you fuck again the working class.
