The Trump has always done business with China and his daughter trolled for all of those Patton’s she got from them. Trump talks a big game. He’s all talk. He built the Trump tower mostly from Chinese products.
Everybody on planet Earth has "mostly from Chinese products" in their houses and on their backs today. That includes you.
Don't look now, but that supply chain is drying up.......FAST.
Grayzone is a very thorough site, doing real investigative journalism that the NYT, WP etc. keep failing to do. Just because you don't like its conclusions, doesn't mean they are wrong. To the contrary.
China has a long, long history of treating ethnic and religious minorities poorly. Typically, such minorities are expected to work instead of attending school beyond 3rd- 5th grade. Ethnic minorities have not assimilateD well.
The Uighur is one of several ethnic minorities. There are local laws that ban growing be! Ceasing on Ramadan, wearing hijab etc. offenders are sent to re-education schools.
john oliver is merely regurgitating stories and articles written by others who also have an agenda to push.
I can't fault him too much, since he's a (rather unfunny) comedian, not a pulitzer prize winning journalist.
MY POV is that Forbes or some magazine recently released the 50 most valuable brands globally . Chinese companies - JD, Ali Baba, tencent, Huawei and niaomi are in them. 5 out of 50 is 10%. TikTok is another worthless brand, but its a worthy competitor to CrapChat and Instagram. Wechat does the same thing as Whatsapp and its definitely not 20B worth.
The companies like FB, Uber, Amazon and Google whose business models are predominatly global may see this as a threat.
The traditional companies still have business with China - like Boeing, Walmart, Target, Apple, Exxon etc.
Nothing POTUS and his weakening, fractured America can do to prevent strengthening China from rising to the top as the most powerful country in the world.
China is building a huge amount of infrastructure in the developing world. Roads, dams, factories, etc. I'm not saying China is blameless than they are winning over the developing world while the USA becomes more unpopular.
Yes they are while we spend our money on war toys that we can`t use. China is making the smarter investment.
One of the most intelligent posts I've ever read on a talk forum. You should start a club and I'll be the first to apply for exclusive membership! See my new thread on the question of America being threatened by communism and how that scare covers for the emergence of fascism in America by the Trump regime. It ties in closely to your wise words!
So are you too for government control and censorship of the internet?
This video is produced by RTHK, a Hong Kong Public Broadcasting Service, which film crew went to China and Kazakhstan to interview many Kazaks, whose family members got detained by the Chinese security:
