    Okay Russia is understandable cuz they’re in a war, USA understandable cuz they’re saber rattling, but genuinely what is China doing besides minding their own business?

      Buying ports and selling cars, generally speaking an economy war.

        centrist Nationalize your ports to prevent private foreign companies from buying them.

        What do you mean “evil economy?” Is producing goods a bad thing?

          Flooding foreign economies with cheap subventioned goods so the domestic can’t compete and go out of business and thus increasing dependency in you.
          Yes, I’d say this is bad.

            China isn’t forcing anybody to buy their goods at gunpoint last I checked. The fact that western markets are unable to produce comparable goods at the same prices is entirely the problem with the way western economies are structured. The whole premise for loosely regulated markets was that they were supposed to be more efficient than state planning, turns out that was a big fat lie. So now the dumb fucks in the west are crying that their failed economic model can’t compete with China. Tough!

          Between an exchange of goods and services and flooding it by subventiontioning to suppress the competition is teensy tiny difference, no?

            This is called a “skill issue” on the hand of western imperialists that can’t compete. Stop framing doing better as being evil.

              Are they even trying to compete considering how many places were happy/eager to send manufacturing overseas in the name of lowering labor costs?

                They are realizing they fell into a trap by doing so, so trying but failing.

                Explain how it’s evil to allow the US companies to move their production out of the US? The US corporations could have kept industry here, but they decided to fuck themselves over so that a few shareholders’ margins went up by a few percentage points. That wasn’t China being malicious, that’s the US lacking any sense of foresight while being blinded by greed.

                Yeah but you’re not just looking. You’re running your mouth. People tend to ask for clarifications.

                Evil is the invisible hand of the market fisting the ass of your country, who send their production to a foreign country, and then start crying because they get better after decades of doing what guys should have being doing all along.

          “Since 2014, the government of the People’s Republic of China has committed a series of ongoing human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities in Xinjiang which has often been characterized as persecution or as genocide. There have been reports of mass arbitrary arrests and detention, torture, mass surveillance, cultural and religious persecution, family separation, forced labor, sexual violence, and violations of reproductive rights.”

            Their source for the genocide claim is this article that immediately cites Adrian Zenz. Do you have a source that can corroborate the genocide claim that doesn’t rely on Adrian Zenz? I don’t think he’s a good faith scholar.
