The last thing I need from Srajan is a lecture on how evil Western Civilization has been. I know the OP said "politics aside", but Srajan made that hard to do. I own some ChiFi, and I am happy with it, but that doesn't mean I am happy supporting a country that enslaves people, harvests organs from political prisoners, and is on the cusp of invading Taiwan and dominating the planet with it's fascist and communist economy and complete lack of liberty. No, the West isn't perfect, but I bet there are about a billion Chinese that would like to live here. How many in the West want to relocate to the PRC?
Prospectives on Chi-Fi
Putting politics aside this is a good opinion piece and I hope puts some things in prospective.
