That's an extraordinary claim to make without any evidence. The entire business model of a newspaper is that they report facts.

It's not flamebait to discuss the very real, very troubling human rights issues that exist in China. It's certainly not just an "opinion." I'm seriously concerned by your calling out the parent comments like this,

The very idea of a right is that it is universal.

That's why we speak out (like this!) and force them to do the right thing. As I've said elsewhere, there are things more important than profit. Companies that disagree ought to be boycotted. Maybe that's naive. It's stil

This sort of whataboutism isn't helpful. We have the right to call out human rights abuses; further, I think we have an obligation to use that right lest we lose it. Are you aware that the average citizen in China simply cannot tell th

> I'm pretty sure Marriott and Benz stand up firsthand to their owners and in their list of priorities access to chinese markets is more important than human rights. That is indeed the problem.

Yes. With the astronomical level of clout that Elon Musk has, I'm willing to call him immoral, unethical, and a bad person for doing business with KSA. A vanishingly small number of people are as influential as Musk, and his actions in

That's why I feel compelled to speak up about this. There are things more important than money.

We should never, ever make concessions when it comes to human rights.

> Doing business with Chinese entrepreneurs and providing services to the Chinese people is a humanitarian imperative. There is literally no way to do this without the cooperation of the Chinese government.

YC's got a very, very fine line to tread if they're serious about China - with its limits on human rights and authoritarian tendencies, the Chinese government is absolutely not to be trusted. I worry about what sort of concessions
