The China Thread (Threat)

It's all about money. The NBA castigated a GM for having the balls to say he stands with the people of Hong Kong who are for democracy and not a communist dictatorship. He clearly is beating around the bush because he only cares about the money in merch sales and broadcast rights the NBA gets from China. You can say you prioritize domestic issues, but our domestic human rights issues can't even hold a candle to how bad China is.

I disagree with the mansplain comment. I just don't see it. Mark has a point too. As shitty as the answer is, there's no action behind the response she's looking for. If the NBA condemns them, will Apple? Nike? They're just words.

Mark is way off base. He said she doesn't know what she's talking about but he certainly doesn't either or is just unwilling to be truthful about it. His "solution" was to allow more asylum seekers here. That's ridiculous and we don't have the resources to accommodate that many people. Change must occur in China but he doesn't want to risk losing that customer. It's that simple.

To be fair, I didn't say I agreed with all of his points, just the one I addressed. I accept the fact this world revolves around money. Thats why I don't get upset when fox tries to push that narrative when the government needs to lead the way. Want the government to acknowledge those human rights abuses? They can't, because you can't do business with countries that commit genocide.

I know from reading that we've done similar things for practicing raiding POW compounds during Vietnam and other high risk ops, but they weren't usually built out in the open (at least not when satellites were overhead).

Almost like they want you to see it.

That's exactly what I was thinking. This is strategic messaging as much as it is tactical training.
 
We have satellites over their shit, they have satellites over our shit. We build purposeful cities and compounds, rather large ones to train in. But I don't think ours are so "open" and ours are on already established bases. They have so much land that they can just in the middle of bumfuck and throw up a city. But they've done this in several places where real estate gets built and no one lives in the city...mostly to keep people working. That's a command economy for you.
 
The trick that democracy plays is that the elected official has to govern for all, even those that didnā€™t vote for them. All democratically elected heads of state say the same thing, ā€œwe govern for allā€ & thereā€™s no exception that I can think of to this rule. So thanks PE Biden, but itā€™s nothing new. Iā€™m more interested now in the makeup of his team & what will happen in Georgia soon.

I think 'unbelievable' is pretty fitting. Lets not forget the PRC is literally cutting organs outta people, running concentration camps, and committing genocide. All the while, they have the audacity to post the drivel below.

The UN is a joke and the PRC is straight up evil. The fact they plan on presenting this at the UN's review of our human right record is clownshoes.

Specifically on this one. The guy's tweet sums up what the screen shot is. The Chinese government sits on the UN Human Rights Council and leveling questions about the US government's actions to remove "systemic racism"...you know a country that is overtly putting people in concentration camps trying to take the moral high ground.

And as we know, most countries that end up on the UN HRC tend to be the worst government's in the world when it comes to Human Rights.
