I feel mildly positive on this matter for the moment. I'm disappointed that this is coming from a protectionist angle and not as a principled response to Chinese moral failings, but you take what you can get I guess.
- croes 4y ago> response to Chinese moral failings? China's morals hasn't changed since the west outsourced it's production to it. What has changed is that China has gone from being a contractor to a competitor.
- luckydata 4y agoNot a competitor, that was also the case. They have become an enemy, a fact that most people here seem to want to ignore on purpose. The Biden administration has simply acted on the reality that the PRC to all extent and purpose is an enemy of the USA as it strive to undermine our political system and influence around the world, and is preparing for more aggressive action to support that agenda. Clear as day, expect more action on that front.
- superchroma 4y agoI know, I never wanted to give them my business in the first place. Awful country.
- igravious 4y agoIgnorant comment. Par for the course around here though.
- PKop 4y agoGeopolitics are not about morality but rather national interests. Morality can certainly be a smoke-screen to get buy-in from people that worry about that. Also "global" morality is a sort of contradiction of the term. Morality applies to the in-group not the out-group. Thus actions like using nuclear weapons on an enemy; morality doesn't come into play.
