  • Just drop the china bad brainrot and you'll be onto something.

    The peoples who say that there is slave labor in china, let alone that it is commonly used by corporations there have never provided evidences of such a thing as far as I am aware. If you think there is slave labor in china you need to prove that.

    As for the lack of environnemental regulations, I don't know chinese law enouth to deny it with full confidence but given the tremendous governmental effort in green tech that has made them wold leader in renewable, electric cars and more I find that unlikely to be the case.

    The explaination is more simply that chinese labor is way cheaper than western labor while at the same time way more industialized than other places with cheap labor like india and has also fully or almost fully integrated supply chains that make production as a whole cheaper.

    As for IP law, again I don't know enought of chinese law to say exactly how it works but they have indeed no reason to follow western IP laws.

  • Em adespotom here is implying that the company had to go to China to complete with other Canadian companies in the same business and that China is somehow to blame for this.

    But the thing is, if the conditions of the CANADIAN market force Canadian companies to go to China to be competitive, then it’s not really China’s fault now is it?!

  • while Huawei just stole the results of Nortel’s R&D and then had CCP subsidies for the production.

    China requires that all companies entering their market share their technology with Chinese firms, any company planning to enter the Chinese market know that.

    In other words, Nortel (and others companies who set shop in China) willingly shared their tech with China in exchange for being allowed to operate in the country, so saying China stole the technology is extremely dishonest.

  • It DOES make sense to peoples who actually know a bit about German history and 20th century European fascism.

    Nazis hate Jewish people, that’s true. But they also gladly look the other way when a Jewish person happens to be useful to them.

    Search Jewish Nazi collaborator and who the Nazis gave the title « honorary aryan » to, you’d be surprised.

  • A Jewish person being part of a Nazi government isn’t the oximoron you people are trying to paint it as.

    Nazis are hypocrites who never hesitate to act contrary to their genocidal racist brain rot whenever it’s politically convenient for them to do so.

    This includes the original Nazis.

    If you weren’t aware, the German Nazi state had a title, so called « honorary aryan », which they gave to Nazi officials (or people useful to the Nazis in some way) of ethnicity that the Nazis would have otherwise sent to concentration camps, among the peoples who were granted the title were a number of Jews.

    The title offered it’s recipient immunity to the racist policies and laws of the Nazis as well as sometimes outright favor treatment.

    The title was also used to justify allying with the Japanese as well as, less famously, some middle eastern countries.

    Side note but still relevant, the third reish supported Israel, since the Zionist goal of settling European Jews in Palestine aligned with the Nazi goal of riding Germany of Jews.

    As for the claims about neonazis in the Ukrainian government, you just haven’t bothered to look have you?

    It’s literally so easy to find outlets that couldn’t be less associated with the Russian government talking about the neo Nazi problem of Ukraine. Just search Nazi Ukraine and filter between 2014 and 2022 and you will find tons of them.

  • With the power of friendship

  • Who could have known Ukraine would loose? It’s not like there is a group of people somewhere, maybe around here, that warned everyone that this would happen since the beginning.

  • What’s your take then? They should continue throwing soldiers at a war they are clearly losing? What is that supposed to happen achieve apart from getting even more Ukrainians killed than already were?

  • The more learn about the US the more I realize the military they're so proud of is kinda dogshit actually.

  • You can tell the US is collapsing when they threaten 4 countries of war in less than 2 years

  • The question shouldn’t be whether rape is happening

    Excuse me? We absolutely SHOULD question whether rape is happening.

    This "that's just how war is

    " kind of narrative needs to go, there is no laws of physics that force armies to commit rape or any voluntary attack against civilians for that matter.

    That's not useful, that's not helpful, that's not smart, that's not having a "nuanced understanding", that's cynical minimization of unwarranted violence and horrible crimes against civilians.

    It shift the blame of warcrimes on a cynical and frankly halfassed "that's just how it is" kind of "explanation" and minimise the responsibility of the culprit.

    You can't just say that both sides of a conflict always do this and handwave it as if it was some kind of universal law, if you want to claim that, you need to prove it.

  • Who could have thought that the deranged right wingers who froth at the mouth about China were deranged right wingers the whole time!

  • The day will come when the west will lose it's ability to control and plunder the global south. When that happen, the west shall collapse.

  • I don't know how big a "standard" supply of these gears is but... ...aren't those quantities very small?

  • The french monarchy came back at least 3 times before being overthrown for good.
