    Go on now, I'd love to hear the comparison.

    We get that you have a Chinese girlfriend, that's cool. Your defense of China in this thread when confronted with their hilarious and indefensible censorship is baffling to say the least.

    You’re blinded by your own dogma. Just like spook. Not one time have I defended China. I provided comment contrary to you all’s conviction and you attack the messenger. Just like spook would.

    I have no dogma here. Bullshit blanket censorship and blacklisting was put on full display by China this week for all to see and your response has been to defend them complete with posting a self-congratulatory article from the newspaper arm of the Department of Propaganda of the Communist Party of China.

    But keep digging that sideways hole man.

    The only dogma I'm seeing here is a non-sequitur blanket write-off of 1/3 of the country that you insist is worse than the country with interment camps.

    ETA: posting pics of your girlfriend is usually accepted here and never refused, but in this instance it's just weird.

    You're awfully angry.

    No one asked you or anyone here to start posting pics of their girlfriend. I'm sure as shit not going to post a pic of my wife because some guy on the internet got his panties really twisted over China acting like a controlling girlfriend.

    Born in Oklahoma. Lived there til age 5, then Virginia, then Korea, then Minnesota from 2nd grade through high school. New York from 83 through 89. Texas from 89-99 and now North KaKalaKi.. Mostly progressive Durham, NC. Most of my Chinese colleagues work out of both San Jose and RTP, NC.

    In the Chinese production, both Burr and Hamilton are shot.

    The Federal Reserve never comes to be and instead the Founders opt for a system of social credit that is instituted across America.

    It's heavy shit.

    Born in CA. Left of center.

    Fuck the CCP. Between the NBA, Blizzard, and Apple, there is a look of jackboot licking going on this week.

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    Aren't these now owned by the Chinese gobberment?

    They gonna censor TGR? Nah... we got Mtngirl for that.
    ANTA Sports owns them among others, probably a division of the gov't for sure. Of course I read that Anta is currently pulling out of negotiations with the NBA as of this morning too?
    I worry about the former Amer Group companies for sure especially going into the 2022 Olympics.

    Sounds like we as Americans have to decide how important is it to us to promote Western values of freedom, equality and human rights. There will be sacrifices, such as paying more for some goods that aren’t made in sweat shops or with stolen IP. Companies and shareholders will lose profits. Are we willing to make that sacrifice?

    Well, if the past is any indicator, no you are not.
