The effort to counter China’s ‘malign influence’ would fund negative coverage of China’s Belt and Road Initiative—while also beefing up the U.S.’s international lending.

    Love these liberal personal responsibility brainworms

    The country’s use of forced labor in Xinjiang camps, Nancy Pelosi said last week in a speech on the bill, “hurts American workers who have to compete with slave labor.”

    Why are American workers competing against slaves? Shouldn't it be American companies competing with Chinese ones? Couldn't this be solved by FUCKING PAYING WORKERS? What the fuck is going on here?

      There is not really a distinction here, it's american produced goods competing with chinese produced goods which obviously affects the people doing the producing.

      Real question is, if they believe truly chinese goods are produced with slave labor will they do the what follows logically and make the obvious ethical move of banning importation of those goods? We ofc know they will will not as the treats must flow.

          Do you honestly think that American right wingers are able to differentiate between people of different Asian nationalities? See: people being racist against Sikhs after 9 11

          I think you severely underestimate just how insane most of the Chuds are. After 9/11 literally anyone "dark" was considered fair game. The target selection is not really based on anything but first glance, and american whites are REALLY bad at that type of thing, or more accurately they don't give enough of a shit to differentiate.

    Congress responds to 912K American covid deaths by giggling its keys at baby - the real personification of the US.

    Baby says: "Gaaaanaaah, gaaaah, gaaaaplrrrrrah".

    there’s got a be a way to grift this, right? With how careless they administer public funds in general and with some corporate jargon speech …

    How about, “Countering China’s malign influence with community-based propaganda detection, processing, and response through textual deliverables” (read: Xi thought reading group)

    Having a free press is when the press is free to accept money from the state in exchange for propaganda services
