That's fine, but that's why Google is doing this. They need people who won't watch ads to stop using it to lower their costs. I mean what business survives with zero income? The question google is asking isn't whether or not some people will stop using it, the question their asking is will enough of them stop for them to generate income.

But that's the point. Russia was doing terrible anyway. Is this new 14% poverty rate any worse than when the war started and they were stealing toilets to begin with.

I mean I have no idea, but this article doesn't show evidence one way or the other.

Pretty much nothing. Fentanyl for China is about an alliance with Mexico. China wants to be in USA's backyard. So this isn't a money thing for them. I expect the outcome of this is a shift to the precursor production in Mexico. There's not going to be a decrease in fentanyl for sure.

But since Mexico is already terrified of the US after Republicans said they wanted to invade, Mexico already let China's military come to work with them.

So all in all this is just a propaganda win for Biden. China's more than happy to just let Mexico make all the fentanyl themselves as long as Mexico continues to be friendly.

It includes allies. This is because of the tyranny of distance. US simply cannot power project enough to take on China with Taiwan alone.

But these war games are actually biased towards USA. Pentagon's own war games have China winning already.

So if we believe the US military, then China can already win. Though many argue US military says this just to get more funding.

I would err on the side of US just barely winning with all allies.

That said, I do not believe China would invade. It makes no sense. Anyone who claims this is could happen should have their credibility questioned. As China as I said already has shown its hand, it will blockade if it comes to it.

Well, there have been a lot of war games that currently show China losing but by a small margin. It's likely that in less than a decade China would win by a small margin. According to many US generals.

So while your wrong, China almost certainly could take Taiwan in less than a decade, I would argue that there's no chance in hell they would do it. Winning by a small margin here means millions if deaths if not nuclear war. This would be massacre that would make both Israel and Russia's violence look down right peaceful.

And it's not like China hasn't shown it's hand in what it would do. War is not China's goal, a blockade is.

I am 100% for this as a country showing it's strength vs our current war paradym. Hopefully, Putin gets in on this and gets too stoned to continue the war.

Ah America. Where we have the great options of genocidal maniac or other genocidal maniac. You see, we're better, because we have the freedom to choose!

They're already doing that. That's why the spending bill is being rolled up into one. That way they can say they're voting for it to stop the Russian genocide and so what if it does a little genocide in the Middle East.

Sadly, your joke is just reality

I hate to tell you this, we won't learn a god damn thing. Humanity forgets it's atrocities as quickly as a generation passes. We do not learn the lessons of our fathers anymore. All we see are repeats after the old have passed on.

I don't think we have differing opinions actually. I'm saying there have been many countries that have stated they do not see the stuff USA talks about to make it reasonable to ban. They all shut up and followed the US after 2020 and individuals even started to say Huawei is more evil than American companies. Again without any particular evidence.

Would I argue that Google and Huawei do similar and equally bad things, yes absolutely. I'm just tired of people attacking Huawei and saying they're worse than American corps. That's all I'm trying to say here.

That's because the accusations and bans were on telco equipment. Hell, you can still buy Huawei phones on Amazon if you wanted to in the states. You don't seem to understand what all the propaganda hub bub was about to begin with.

*Edit:

I think you're completely misunderstanding my position. My position is Huawei is considered worse than google because of US propaganda. Not that Huawei is better than google. And that propaganda is not substantiated.

There was no rebuttal. All those words agreed with my statement, that there's no evidence and they hardened their position because of the US.

Right so no evidence, just suspicion from the US was enough for them to harden their stance.

Your "rebuttals" doesn't change any facts on the ground.

Yeah a lot of people are influenced by US propaganda. That shouldn't be surprising. However, let's look at what experts in other countries that are not America say.

But those voices are drowned out because, well US propaganda is very powerful. So much so that yeah, it influences individuals.

*Edit: And yes, US propaganda is so powerful it goes well beyond it's borders affecting individuals in other nations as well. I'm not asking you to believe me, I'm asking you to question where you got those opinions from.

I'm saying that the only hate for Huawei comes from the US government. Who constantly lies. So using their lies to form an opinion on Huawei is idiotic.. I didn't actually bring google into this at all.

Of course. That's because you blindly believe the country that wiretaps it's allies, like Merkle in Germany. That spies on its citizens using systems like Prism. Arrests journalists who report this like Assange. Yeah, those guys are totally who you should believe. And no, Huawei still hasn't had any evidence against them, only conjecture from that country.

And I know what you're going to say. You're going to call me naive and that Huawei definitely does it. But yes go on trusting the country with a laundry list of violations.

You know, unlike USA, China arrested their version of Trump. Look up Jimmy Lai. Where as in the US, they're saying the leaders are these people below, in China they say the leader is the one promoting it in newspapers. Which again to your thinking is freedom of speech but also why China doesn't have that. If your promoting the riots, your the leader, not the guy on the ground.

Well for one there's no evidence of murder. That's actually my whole point. For all the complaining, the people who actually visited, the UN and Muslim nations have not seen any evidence of killing.

Wow, so stupid. These were riots. Are you saying we didn't know the leaders of the Jan 6th riots or BLM riots? They literally stood up with megaphones.

They did find the ring leaders what are you talking about? I literally just said they cut it off at the head and feel that's enough. In fact this is one of the reasons the US keeps claiming China is oppressing people. When China feels it has enough evidence they arrest the leaders. They don't have to pass what US thinks is enough like your personal obsession with ballistics. Thus, the US complains China oppresses it's people. But the reality is China just thinks differently and doesn't want to waste time explaining it to ignorant people.

I'm actually happy we are having this discussion. I would have never realized how different the thinking is without you. Thanks, this is great. Even if you have no idea.
