without checking since I so firmly believe in the EU's consistent application of human rights doctrines, I'm sure this new ban will stop imports from the following companies known to use forced penal labour to reduce wages in the US: Bank of America Bayer Cargill Caterpillar Chevron Chrysler Costco John Deere Eli Lilly and Company Exxon Mobil GlaxoSmithKline Johnson and Johnson K-Mart Koch Industries McDonald’s Merck Microsoft Motorola Nintendo Pfizer Procter & Gamble Pepsi ConAgra Foods Shell Starbucks UPS Verizon WalMart Wendy’s

Liberals so very desperately want to do racism, not even just because they're racist, but because they want to be the Hard Man Making Hard Decisions like when Jack Bauer has to tweet the n word or terrorists will blow up the moon

mila kunis posted:I figured what was coming during the coalition talks The Green’s were pushing a far harder line during the election and the critters demanded Baerbock as chancellor, she got foreign affairs through talks which is good enough. She is the German Hillary without irony. The US has been making an open effort to secure the EU since it is the only way for them to really stay in the game.

not hard since they militarily ocupy the heart of the EU and germany's military and intelligence services are deeply integrated with american hegemony. looks like another win for the USA, germany's brief flirtation with independent foreign policy is probably ending

Germany: up to US$3.3 / hour quote:More than 60,000 inmates in Germany are required to work while in prison. They earn up to three euros an hour maximum – way below the national minimum wage. For big corporations like Daimler or Aldi they're a source of cheap labor. UK: US$2.7 / hour quote:While real work in prison can be beneficial, working prisoners are trapped in state-mediated structures of exploitation: the state has a major role to play in creating and perpetuating workers’ vulnerability by excluding them from protective laws. Prisoners are a vulnerable group, as the European Court of Human Rights has repeatedly ruled, and the authorities have a duty to protect them. That the state creates further vulnerability by excluding them from labour rights should be scrutinised carefully. Sweden: US$1.43 / hour quote:Occupational activity is compulsory at all institutions. This means that you must do something. Compulsory occupational activity also means that you must do something to earn the money you are entitled to when you are at the institution. The law stipulates how much money you are entitled to receive. The current rate is around SEK 13 (US$ 1.43) per hour.

They'll probably keep adding junior partners to the diplomatic boycott thing over time then do some kind of joint statement or something right around when the games start to maximize the propaganda effect which is, obviously, the only reason they're doing all this anyways. I'm just curious to find out if they'll actually go as far as to have biden do a speech and use the G word. Also, if they'll be able to coax the US TV broadcasters into talking about it all the time. Some Lithuanian athlete with no genuine shot at a medal is gonna run through the opening ceremony with an east turkistan flag and make epic bacon reddit viral history.

Literally the second paragraph "Baerbock also said she won't attend the Beijing Winter Olympics in February. Yet she made clear that her decision was personal and not the official line of the German government, and that German foreign ministers usually don't attend Olympic games."

Germany's foreign policy line is set in the chancellor's office and not the foreign ministry, so I wouldn't put too much weight on baerbock popping off -- scholtz doesn't seem to want to rock the boat on China. merkel already had a similar thing with maas to some extent. also I don't think the diplomatic boycott is going to expand much, if they were able to add more countries to make the tiny turnout less embarrassing they would've done it by now. in the EU even the czechs with a more or less overtly anti-china govt have refused to join. Japan was the best shot for another big participants and even they ended up just hedging their bets.

The problem with the propaganda effect is that what they're doing is an unserious response to genocide. This could actually backfire with people who believe the propaganda on Xinjiang. Not that they will see the truth or anything, just that their governments don't give a poo poo.

Zohar posted:at least among moderately well-off people it is really loving prevalent. e.g. in 2015 there was a big protest by the localist groups because the government had made noises about giving residency to a 12-year-old mainlander who'd been living in the city undocumented since he was 3 (the Siu Yau-wai case), they wanted him to be deported and eventually he was forced to leave the city. stuff calling mainlanders bugs and locusts, anchor baby scares and the like were pretty normal since way before occupy central. my personal experience was that the last time I was in HK in 2017-18 one of literally the first things I saw after leaving the airport was a guy screaming at someone calling him a mainlander oval office, and when I was still involved in anti-china stuff at that time I had dinners with activists who would call mainlanders monkeys, dirty and uncivilised etc yeah didnt one of the main organizers of the protests use his newspaper to take out multi page ads comparing mainlanders to cockroaches? also im pretty sure the HK fash beat the poo poo out of and maybe even killed a lot of mainlainders and slaves?

dead gay comedy forums posted:going by that, it seems to me that the cpc is actually somewhat lenient to hong kong than appears otherwise to the west a lot of mainland chinese hate hkers and it's easy to understand why if you think about it from their perspective -- it's a city that's supposedly in your country but still talked about by white people as if it's a colony, which you need an internal visa to visit and, when you do, you'll get treated like poo poo by people calling you bugs and throwing ww2-era racial slurs around. so in that sense the government response is sort of limited compared to what a lot of mainlanders would want, which would be to just abolish all its special privileges and expropriate the tycoons. also why it was a lol that there were people in 2019 who thought the protests had any chance of spreading to the rest of China. it's lenient when you compare it to mainstream public opinion in China. and going off what I said earlier about how westerners seem to never consider that tiananmen happened under Deng while they complain that Xi isn't like Deng, well, it's notable that he didn't crack down in HK in the way Deng probably would have

One of the things that I remember making me feel really stupid about the residual empathy I had for the HK protests was when I saw a video of a bunch of the protestors beating up some random dude on his way home from work because they heard him say something like "we're all chinese." I noticed some white dude blocking the door of the apartment building the guy was trying to get into so he couldn't escape which I thought was wild on its own. Why the hell was this random white dude hanging around the perimeter of this mob and throwing himself into the fray to make sure its victims couldn't escape? Then I saw a tweet down the thread which pointed out that the white dude was Brian Kern, some Amnesty International freak who had recently been outed after writing a book about being an HK dissident or something under a Chinese name and had spent years using that name and a Chinese dudes picture on all his social media.
