I really hope the Western countries severely curtail China's ability to operate in the West. Ban their companies, ban party officials and employees operating in the West, completely lock them down and out of the rest of the world.
They need to understand there are real consequences for these actions.
- golfer 8y agoBan their companies, like Foxconn, that builds all iPhones? What about all the hundreds of billions of dollars in other goods that are manufactured there that the West is reliant on? I also want to see consequences for these actions, but the situation is more nuanced than you seem to realize.
- abc-xyz 8y agoIt's not like China is the only country capable of building iPhones and other goods. Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, etc all seem like good alternatives until the goods can be manufactured in democratic countries with the help of robots. Would the western countries, companies and consumers suffer economically? Sure, but sometimes it's necessary to make sacrifices for the greater good, and it would be very shortsighted to ignore the threat China poses to the world.
- fiblye 8y agoFoxconn is a Taiwanese company. They'd be unable to export things from their Chinese factories, but I doubt it'd affect them much.
- ShorsHammer 8y agoDo you think the average voter cares more about this than being able to buy an iPhone?
- verroq 8y agoI doubt turning China into the next North Korea will help it develop into a modern democracy.
- zachguo 8y agoHey, how about voting for another Chinese Exclusion Act? I think all Chinese people gonna thank you for bringing those talents settled in US back home.
