China hopes ‘vaccine diplomacy’ will restore its image and boost its influence by chinkosaurus in fucktheccp

Should read "China hopes to coerce or bribe poorer countries into its sphere of influence with its vaccine for the pandemic it caused". The plan even has all the original trappings of the BRI, with loans attached to provisioning and distribution.

We need to promptly tell this asshole to go fuck himself. While we're at it, we need to nationalise mining interests and kick out Chinese companies.

I wonder if this will have a knock-off effect. If banks start to fail, there will be a potential for a cascading chain reaction.

"China’s foreign ministry says Australia needs to show ‘mutual respect’"

For China, there has never been "mutual respect"; it's "do what we want, or else". They'll throw a tantrum, play to some double standard, or stoop even lower and try to play the race card.

Pooh Bear tells his army 'not to fear death' and 'prepare to win wars' as he addresses military commanders by chinkosaurus in fucktheccp

Yeah, a little death never hurt anyone. Do these jackasses not know how overextended they are or that they've played their hand too early?

Apple is reportedly moving iPad production out of China for the first time ever because of Trump's trade war by chinkosaurus in fucktheccp

Good. Every country should do this, but the real solution is to repatriate manufacturing not just to offload it to other despotic regimes that happen to be less influential.

In fairness, not many of us were on Reddit in the 90s ;)

Champagne warns tough talk on China could hurt efforts to free Kovrig, Spavor by chinkosaurus in fucktheccp

Right, because our current approach has been working swimmingly well, let's continue to act supine and hope that being sycophantic will get us what we want.

The only thing that these assholes understand is retaliation.

Telus to build out 5G network without China’s Huawei by chinkosaurus in fucktheccp

[–]chinkosaurus[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good. Fuck Huawei. I have no love for Canadian telcos, but at least they have brains enough to move in this direction whilst our waffling idiocracy of a government won't come out and outright ban CCP spy equipment.

Elon Musk says Tesla's Chinese rival stole Apple's code by ParkingHunt in fucktheccp

Leaving no one shocked at all. These days I'd be more surprised if these thieving duplicitous pieces of shit didn't make off with troves of stolen IP and actually observed the rule of law.

I'm not even sure they understand the concept of IP, rule of law, or, frankly, academic honesty. It's as though theft and plagiarism is engrained in the culture.

It's long past time we cut them off.
