Also, what is the ‘ideological’ difference between US and China? The mere mention of communism suffices in most government circles, but that doesn’t explain any of their tactics, and certainly not strategy or objectives. I would like to know what you (HN) think.
There’s no formal and credible-sounding assumption of anything that resembles the bill of rights.
There’s not an equivalent of the notion that every human life has intrinsic value, which is traced back to Christianity.
Therefore there isn’t a specific reason why it is wrong for the government to kill an arbitrary number of innocent people if it furthers the overall good.
That’s just one example.
Edit:
I didn’t mean a specific reason, I meant a specific and overwhelming, basically non-negotiable reason, which maps to an equivalent in to the U.S. as an example.
