My initial argument was it is all bullshyt because they can’t even fix home. Also, to really put this in perspective but let’s go deeper. Which is better, the Jews in Germany during WWII being allowed by America to immigrate here as refugees or if the US created a policy to tell the German’s “we’re not buying cars made with Jewish labor”? Which would that have done more for the Jews life and well-being in Germany? what is this current policy really doing for the Uighurs?
The fact you wave this off as virtue signaling is dishonest on your part because it shows you don’t want to engage with the fact that from a realpolitik standpoint they have no problem leaving people over there to be slaves. As you say later this is about supporting businesses. They don’t give a fukk. Same way they are leaving Black people in jail as slaves making $0.50 cents a fukking hour.
I guess China will have their slaves start working on those orders from Europe, Russia, and Australian. Maybe the other Asian countries want in… or they could ship the goods elsewhere and then send them to the US from another part of their country. Fake papers and Bribes is easy. Just lie to the Americans from jump and no one gets in trouble. China might get embarrassed because they like to seem above it all, but this isn’t stopping them. This is a halfhearted divestment policy. That doesn’t stop other companies from getting their cheap labor domestically. If Biden was really about this it would have to be a global effort to scare China into caring. Then again this is about supporting US businesses that are scared their customers will boycott products made in a specific region of China by Uighurs.
@Pressure
You think you made a point, but your mindset is all wrong. They can’t apply pressure to China to fix it because they aren’t looking for global support or even trying to “save people” not imprisoned by allowing them to immigrate here.
Once again the things Biden can do, he doesn’t speak on, or do, and then he is given a pass. I been shytting on Biden for that and will continue to do so. He can deal with domestic issues like prison reform and as a black man yes that is one of my priorities. I would be surprised if Chinese Americans spent their life and time advocating for black community investment by ending the profit motive In the prison industrial complex.
So I got to ask you are you still really out here like
for the Democratic Party & Biden? Yeah they are better than those cockroaches republicans but that doesn’t mean they can not do anything as a result.
