The nightmare of a dystopian system. Recently it was discovered that an elementary school was built on an old heavy metal processing site, and the kids had 1000x the safe limits of lead exposure. But parents only found this out when they went to hospitals far away, because the local government told the local hospitals to lie about the exposure levels.
No, that’s very different. That’s a mega corporation doing horrible things, and they can and will get sued and charged over it.
My example was the actual Chinese government hiding the issue. And this happens all the time in China. There are entire villages where more than half the population has cancer due to contaminated ground water. And the other residents who don’t have cancer can’t do anything because they don’t have any money to deal with it.
This is just the tip of the iceberg with China. Remember, all their news agencies are state controlled and they censor everything coming out of there. There’s no “free press” to report on these kinds of issues. The rest of the world only hears about it when it becomes too big to control.
Another example is kidnapping of children. It’s a big issue in China and we’re only just starting to hear about it because it’s become such a problem. Same thing with the “revenge against society” attacks.
My point is that China is already the dystopia you worry about.
People in China are currently living your nightmare, and you want China to win?
What nightmare?

Hate to tell you but the U.S. is no different. We just make sure they die before it gets national news.
