They don’t monitor Americans overseas and threaten their families back home though.

I guarantee you the CIA, NSA, DHS, etc. monitor overseas Americans and will show up and harass you a bit if they perceive that you’re engaging in “anti-American” sentiment. They already illegally do it on US soil, I can’t imagine why the wouldn’t also do it on foreign soil where they aren’t subject to US law.

Are you really comparing what the Chinese government does to their citizens abroad to what the US does? Absurd.

Absurd to be blind to the horrible track record the US has on human rights at home and abroad

It's this circular logic that everything [foreign country] does is uniquely bad and different from anything bad that the US does, where the former is because that country is inherent bad and the latter is despite the US being inherently good. There is no amount of horrible shit the US can do that will dispel this notion for some people.

US has killed their citizens and their families with trial-less drone strikes overseas, don't be dense

Well, I guess in light of Obama’s drone war, Chinese surveillance and oppression of its citizens throughout the world is perfectly acceptable.

I've simply disproved your claim that the US "don’t monitor Americans overseas"

My claim was that they don’t monitor and then threaten their families back home. If you honestly believe there’s any kind of parity between what the OP is about and the way the US monitors it’s citizens abroad and threatens them then I don’t know what to tell you.

> they don’t monitor
how do you kill someone with a drone strike if you haven't monitored them?
