This sounds like yet another anti-China thread that comes the same day as the new security law for Hong Kong (I'm sure it's just a coincidence).

I wonder: does China comment on repressive laws approved in other countries? Isn't Hong Kong a part of China? Why wouldn't they approve any laws they see fit? Why are the people that are concerned about this never concerned about repressive laws approved in US-friendly countries like Turkey or Saudi Arabia or the Emirates?

And why all of a sudden is everyone so concerned with what China has been doing for decades (something that, while definitely authoritarian, is not exceedingly nefarious either)?

It's a serious question. We all knew how China works, and even if we thought it's something that goes against some of our values, we never considered it bad enough to be a deal breaker.

So what happened that made us all of a sudden become so fixated about it?

Obviously because it's challenging Western world dominance.
