  • OP is a solid fella. Cropped the image but moved the artists so is still visible after the crop.

  • Read the text. Is some kind of twisted joke, trying to fool us, making us believe that this is a real textbook.

    I'm not falling in your tricks, OP. Try again tomorrow.

  • Iiuc, there's a group of pattens that are necessary to build technology like 5G and others. Those patents are coshared between different companies, China has a policy to sell access to those patents at the same price everywhere. The EU says that this is unfair to European patents holders, because they need to lower the price in markets that could pay more, like Europe, to compete against China.

  • From outside the US, the politics of democrats and Republicans aren't that different.

  • Withdrawing from the World Health Organization.

    How much does gates owns of the who now? 80%?

  • The US, Canada and the European Union have accused China of making too many goods and imposed tariffs on Chinese imports to protect domestic jobs and businesses.

    This shit is completely ridiculous.

  • He's from Asia where the number 8 have a good luck meaning, so is likely is not related to the 88 neo nazis uses.

  • The green curve would be higher that the red one everywhere.

  • So is the US, and we still have farms, small businesses, and small factories

    I think it should be "and we still have child labor in farms, small businesses..."

    Without the "child labor in" the comment sounds funny to me.

  • The wart had to grow so it could be killed

  • I got it, but it's sounds like the US have small (in size) businesses and factories, not that small business and factories use child labor.

  • Missing the "child labor" reference on your comment makes it very funny.

  • Yes, this is not something exclusive of China, or the US, basically everywhere, except maybe some countries in Europe, still have some kind of child labor in a lesser or greater degree. I don't think China is the worst place on that respect, but blinding believing to someone who lives in a big metropolitan Chinese city that child labor dosen't exists is pretty dumb.

  • Edit: the removed comment said that the social credit score existed based on this Wikimedia article.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Credit_System

    In the Wikipedia article itself:

    There has been a widespread misconception that China operates a nationwide and unitary social credit "score" based on individuals' behavior, leading to punishments if the score is too low. Media reports in the West have sometimes exaggerated or inaccurately described this concept.[7][8][9] In 2019, the central government voiced dissatisfaction with pilot cities experimenting with social credit scores. It issued guidelines clarifying that citizens could not be punished for having low scores, and that punishments should only be limited to legally defined crimes and civil infractions. As a result, pilot cities either discontinued their point-based systems or restricted them to voluntary participation with no major consequences for having low scores.[7][10] According to a February 2022 report by the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS), a social credit "score" is a myth as there is "no score that dictates citizen's place in society".[7]

  • Pretty naive to think that child labor dosen't exists in China tbh. Maybe not at the scale of child factory workers that some western media like to depict, but at a smaller scale, in farming, family owned business and small isolated factories.

  • I don't think people remember, but there was a time when no twitch streamer or youtuber would play Nintendo games because they fucking take down their streams for copyright infringement.
