Probably fewer countries excusing the hard power they use?

Just because they occasionally kiss their victims doesn't make what they do to them first any better. It never has. But if the world's bully finally stops providing any good then maybe we can move on as a species.

The west has spent a half century outsourcing their industry to feel like they've done any environmental work (and to lower wages). That has affected all industries, in all western countries.

Ever use anything with a pcb? Congrats it was partially made in china. Any industrial electrical components? Any microelectronics for non computational work? Hell most steel fab is in china. Half the us's packaged fruit travels through china for packaging.

Your owners and masters have spent a long time ruining domestic companies for the sake of profit. Don't take that out on chinese people, take it out on your owners and masters.

Nearly every company in the world that has an international presence uses chinese parts somewhere. And no, you racist count, made in china is not a word for cheap shit, it's a word for made in a factory. You can't avoid chinese products at this stage of capitalism. Your made in japan microwave? It was assembled in japan. It was made in china hence why you can get the brand less version for half price on aliexpress.

Country labeling is a joke, wherever the final assembly takes place is where the label gets put on, specially because racists like you are too stupid to tell the difference and it sincerely hasn't mattered since before most people were born.

By producing everything you use in life?

Don't buy cheap shit you won't get cheaply made shit.

Listen, not all nazi soldiers were particularly bad. I'm sure a chef in the rear guard probably did not do a single war crime. But when the SS existed we know that the chef isn't what most people refer to when discussing war crimes of the era.

Its the same in this era. Sure, there are bad guys all over the place, but compare to the US there's really only a handful of entities in the post WWII era that could be equals, and none more evil.

...you understand how tiny of an industry that is compared to nearly anything else china exports, right?

And the entire world is going towards evs, even developing countries since generators are more efficient over time than dealing with all the parts of a ice vehicle.

Some businesses might go under if they somehow can't pivot their floors to produce something more profitable, but the entire 'problem' western firms have when competing with china is that they're set up to easily pivot and expand production to different items.

China has the entire developing world, their own growing middle class, and europe for import/export. There is nothing america produces that is exclusive or the best cost, and with the us economy dying it's not like china can sell to the us profitably for a while.

I did say pretty much. The repression of lgbt by soviet and non soviet forces, each blaming the other for the cause, was a terrible time in history. However for every person like arenas there's are least a dozen 'we hate castro because he brainwashed the servant family that had been loyal to us for decades'.

Pretty much the only ones that 'fled cuba' did so to avoid justice. Their families tend to be far right conservatives, since they were the ones overthrown.
