I think it's not political to question the morality of patronizing a country using slave labor.

(also applies to any country that uses prisoners as slave labor)

China is having Uyghurs extradited back from other countries to enslave them.

So if you were thinking, "Maybe China isn't that bad"...

Who tf is saying that, that isn't firmly owned by Chinese debt?

I saw that one, but we shouldn't rule out suicide, even in China. Being responsible for that many deaths can't feel great. I bet the ultra marathoners were Han Chinese, so actual people, in the view of the party.

China: "We own the South China Sea and there are new rules for anyone coming through it."

5 minutes later...

U.S.: "Fuck You."

US, UK, and Australia aligning against China.
Politico now has a report that the U.S., UK, and Australia are joining a new defense pact against China where they’re share information on advanced tech:

The trio, which will be known by the acronym AUUKUS, will make it easier for the nations to share information and know-how in key technological areas like artificial intelligence, cyber, underwater systems and long-range strike capabilities

One of the people said there will be a nuclear element to the pact in which the U.S. and U.K. share their knowledge of how to maintain nuclear-defense infrastructure.
