Chinese influence runs deeper than manufacturing. Politicians across the West (or sons of politicians) have sold themselves to various Chinese interests. No need to invade the USA when you can just buy off a vice-president's son for $5million, for example.
or have a current president with a hidden bank account and forward some 17mil to him when he gets elected...
The CCP gave Trump $17 million? That’s a new one.

No it isn't, and it doesn't take much research to find out why. Any time the Nazis did it(like in Lvov) it took a huge amount of work to help with burrying/burning the bodies, Nazis didn't want to do it so they would conscript the local population, which was then likely to strike back as they knew exactly what would happen to them. If you told people you were "relocating" them they were far more likely to come peacef…
Completely false. The transportation and logistical requirement alone would have outweighed the costs of a mass grave or pyre.
That's why they built the extermination camp in Auschwitz. There were direct train tracks to Auschwitz via rail from pretty much anywhere back in the day.

#344CCP must not go unpunished. The world needs to stand up to their lone wolf style. If we do not stand up against CCP now it will only embolden the evil. Vote with your wallets. Avoid buying China made products. Pressure/ Make laws for retailers to enforce Country of Origin information for each and every product especially Amazon. Amazon is flooded with cheap Chinese products almost certainly made in inhumane condition…
A few individuals buying less stuff isn't going to have much effect. We need something more like the west putting 50% tariffs on Chinese products so all the manufacturing starts moving to other countries. That would probably get their attention.
There’s a lot to not like about Trump, but he’s literally the only one in 50 years who’s been willing to play for keeps on Chinese tariffs. And he’s been raked over the coals for it.

Starting with Sam Altman please.
What did he do?
Found the lack of zealous cancel culture in China refreshing. For some reason people find the constant self thought policing in the west to be on the right side of history on all topics, all the time burdensome.

What a disgusting comment.
Nobody wants to read this on HN. If you disagree post why you disagree, an insult like this serves no purpose other than alienating alternative opinions. If I had the karma I would flag you.
Don't be patronizing please, it was fully deserved and I absolutely don't mind readindg it.

#349I have never read a first-hand account, that is why I am posting this.
We are going to see more of this, once the millions being detained get out or were killed entirely. More leaks will come. Be patient, CCP's crimes are coming out.

Nobody is advocating genocide here. This is completely obvious, it is not his intention... you are exaggerating the situation. Who in their right mind would do this? And if you read his post it's obvious he is not doing this.
The chinese actions are atrocious but an accusation of saying that holocaust level genocide is getting advocated here is a huge difference.
You can tell him he's wrong because you believe that the chinese are conducting genocide. You do not start a witch hunt by accusing him of advocating genocide which he obviously is not doing.
