Nah we’re not playing this game.
Try asking the CCP officials in person about Uyghur internment camps, or Tiananmen Square, and see if your family isn’t all arrested.
Ask Olympian Alysa Liu how the CCP targeted her father to try to coerce her to skate for China.

Speaking as an American with some personal history in Hong Kong (on both sides of the PRC handover), saying "is now" is not accurate.
That said, I would agree to "may soon become if we don't stop it." We aren't there yet, but we're on a bad trajectory.
