> totally excluding China from any and all international trade I don't have an opinion whether this is the right thing to do or not. But regardless of my opinion, how does not hiring chinese citizens help with that? This just sounds like harassing chinese people because of their government. If you really wanted to change something, hiring chinese people and showing them what the western world is like would be the bes…
Good comment. A truly ideological person with high moral ground should help instead of blame. Media's double standard is a deal with evil.
Expect the 'free' press is more akin to 'corporate press' & the elections results in the person getting the most votes not being elected President.

It's always a small group of people apply forces on the rest. In communism, it's the party members. In capitalism, it's the board of directors. communism prioritizes fairness. capitalism prioritizes freedom. People who want fairness hate capitalism. People who want freedom hate communism.

You don't see many Chinese whistleblowers leaking the most classified information to the vast public, for example. The patriot act was passe…
yes but where does Snowden now live? You can't deny the hypocrisy here. While our citizens might support him they don't to the extent that they can pressure governments enough to allow him to return home.
