I’m sometimes surprised by their bluntness about this. It’s not because of some vague human rights claim or whatever, just ‘our money is in danger and we need to do something’
For people that claim to support a system in which the better and more efficient companies/countries etc get on top they sure do feel threatened when it’s not them.
Instead of thinking ‘Hey, we could learn from how China does things!’, they’d rather sabotage China’s growth because it hurts them. Free market my ass.
Like, it even seems dangerous for them to put it like this. People reading this could think: ‘but why does China needs to be stopped if it does better? Why can’t we do things like China?’ And their heads would roll.
There’s a reason they’ve carefully constructed the image of China as an “Authoritarian” dystopia (Ironically by claiming that they do everything that the west already does ie. surveillance, credit scores etc.) so that when confronted about the contradiction, they can default to “BUT AT WHAT COST???”
I had a genuine conversation with a liberal at a social gathering, where there was a discussion about how the west was losing influence. I brought up how maybe the world would be better off if China and the global south in general stood on equal grounds. Their genuine reaction was this: “Hmmm, I guess technically it wouldn’t be quite as bad for us in the west, since China mainly oppresses their own citizens, not us.”
Tony Blair is a war criminal and mass murderer.
Fuck around and find out lol
I vaguely remember doing some research to find out what would happen if the US boycotted Chinese products and I found that the US would lose up to 30% of their GDP.
The west can’t do shit. Not without fucking themselves in the process.

The TV show later did a test: Clear all the China-made products from a Japanese household. Four hours later, 619 pieces of Chinese products were removed, and even the clothes of the house owner had to be taken off.
As a matter of fact, Japanese not only need Chinese products when they are alive, but also after their death – over 90% of the coffins sold in Japan are made in China.
I urge western powers to nuke themselves
Fun idea, but the fallout will take the rest of us along for the ride to oblivion. So let’s leave bloodthirsty fantasies to libs, yes?
Nah, Yellowstone, no radiation.
Not content sacrificing 1000s of innocent lives with his lies about the downing street memo/weapons of mass destruction and the subsequent “war” on terror he helped launch, he is at it again chomping for more slaughter.
Literally needs taking to the wall 🧱
