CCP China is the most successful ethno-nationalist/fascist state in modern history. * With the introduction of a market economy in the 70s and 80s, but retaining full party control of that economy, they fulfilled the economic definition of fascism. * With their oppression of the Uighur and Tibetan people they have met the ethno-nationalist definition. We continue to economically support them at our own peril. If you're watching what's happening in Hong Kong and continue to buy Chinese products, when alternatives are available, you're knowingly funding evil.

They're different from Nazis in that they consider anyone non-Chinese a periphery and historically only wanted tribute. That does not count for land that is near though.

  And the Italian fascismo were different in many ways but still send ethnic minorities to their death - as we can be 99.9% sure the CCP is. Your argument is a red herring and acts, whether you want it to or not, as apologetics.

"Economically support them" implies some misleading parent child relationship, where the parent can kick the kid out of the house for misbehaving. This is more a dysfunctional couple relationship, where both sides are Co-Dependent. Its not just that they have a ton to loose, it's that they can't do any better without each other. Google, to their credit, tried existing but look at where that story went. Some couples therapy is overdue but given the fear driven info flows on News and Social Media, it wouldn't be surprising for a Brexit like fiasco, which will hit the people at the bottom of the food chain more than anyone else. Nothing is going to get fixed in the world until Social and News Media get regulated. All they do is produce Red Queen dynamics - keeping everyone running on fear treadmills without going anywhere.

  The world most certainly supports China, out of the desire for greater profits. When we know much of their labor force is forced labor, we are literally outsourcing slavery to them. If you can knowingly continue to buy products from a regime that is so evil it preserves and dissects political dissidents, then sends them around the world as "human body exhibits" then that's on you. I've decided to do everything within my power to not support that evil, only buying a Chinese made product if there is absolutely no other option, and if I absolutely need the product.
