These US corporate elites are selling out US and the rest of the democratic free world in order to meet shareholder's expectations (and of course, MONEY!). And giving into a dictatorship and giving that dictatorship jobs, money, capital, knowledge, and power. That dictatorship now has imprisoned close to 1 million people in Xinjiang. Shame on you, Sundar Pichai. At least when Google was lead by Erich Schmidt, Google pulled out of China, and didn't bend to the whims of Chinese government. Shame on you, Tim Cook. Apple has 4.8 million jobs in China, more than double the jobs in US. https://247wallst.com/jobs/2017/03/17/apple-supports-4-8-mil.. https://247wallst.com/jobs/2017/03/17/apple-supports-4-8-mil.... . Shame on you for not bringing jobs back when news broke out that Foxconn has created a slave labor like working condition. Shame on you, Mark Zuckerberg, for continuing to appease the dictator in China, so that Facebook may gain a foothold there. Shame on you, Satya Nadella, for continuing to supply censored search results in Bing. and for not taking a stand against censorship. But I guess the microsoft borgship has a lot in common with China. Shame on you, Jeff Bezos. You become the richest man on earth, by allowing pirated, stolen, IP infriged goods from China to be sold on your platform without care, destroying small US businesses. You also partnered with Foxconn for Amazon Echo, tablet, and other hardwares. Amazon is a showcase for trade imbalance. disgusting.

> That dictatorship now has imprisoned close to 1 million people in Xinjiang. Sources please? Xinjiang is not that big, they have 20mm people in total, 1mm will be fractional big enough to make the street appear more empty...

  “The first thing you notice is the quiet. Then the white strips of paper stretched diagonally across the front doors of stores that look like they were vacated in a hurry. Once you get close enough, you can read the painted serial numbers on the house walls — WB-BUK 1 to 15 on one street — that tell you no one is coming back to these homes, and that many of those who lived there have been detained. Welcome to Xinjiang in China’s north west.” One of many such reports. https://www.ft.com/content/ac0ffb2e-8b36-11e8-b18d-0181731a0340 https://www.ft.com/content/ac0ffb2e-8b36-11e8-b18d-0181731a0...

    I don't think you understand what constitutes "evidence." A NY Times article that doesn't contain a single verifiable fact or even a first hand witness account is not evidence, by any actual reasonable basis, that a million people have been disappeared.

    That article has about as much intellectual honesty as claiming that the US is imprisoning Native Americans and poisoning them with drugs and alcohol.

  The infamous Xinjiang re-education camps for Muslims. Shawn Zheng has painfully curated this list, follow his twitter too. I think he is doing a great research work, more so because it puts him at a personal risk. https://medium.com/@shawnwzhang/list-of-re-education-camps-in-xinjiang-%E6%96%B0%E7%96%86%E5%86%8D%E6%95%99%E8%82%B2%E9%9B%86%E4%B8%AD%E8%90%A5%E5%88%97%E8%A1%A8-99720372419c https://medium.com/@shawnwzhang/list-of-re-education-camps-i...

Shame on you for writing this comment on what's probably a Chinese-manufactured device. Even if you don't, you're definitely reaping the benefits of open trade with China. Google entering China doesn't help the PRC in any way, but buying Chinese goods definitely does.

  It absolutely legitimizes the PRC's censorship of the internet further, and gives them massive leverage over Google.

You've copied and pasted this comment from a few days ago. That, plus the fact that it's written in high flamewar style, indicates an account that is using HN primarily for ideological battle. That's not allowed on HN, regardless of the ideology you're battling for/against, so I've banned this account until we get an indication that you want to use HN as intended. HN is intended for intellectual curiosity, not smiting enemies. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
