    True but also true: you are comparing multinational corporations to the Chinese government, who is currently waging cold war against Western states. That’s the quiet part they’re taking care not to say loud, hence posturing.

          You mean roughly the part of the world where the US used Agent Orange and flamethrowers?

          Oh, and nuked twice. Almost forgot.

            or in the sovereign country where most of the entire world’s chip supply comes from, but “china needs it more” so we should just let them invade

            also, don’t forget all the chinese propaganda about how they’re going to dethrone america and become the world superpower. do they seriously expect to wage a cold war and not have the west respond to that?

            Who are you even talking to? Did someone let Kissinger into this discussion? We have rules about that.

        Canada isn’t so big that it’s statistically unlikely I don’t know someone China “touched” and is still “touching” today. More than 5% of Canadians are Chinese. With Chinese police actions being documented to be carried out within 100km of me and quite likely within my own city, it’s starting to get pretty fucking personal for everyone over here.
