“We did not imagine that merely holding up the flag of a sovereign state recognized by 157 countries (Palestine) would violate any law,” the band said in a statement
Yes but CCP controls all trade while it’s much harder in free democracies. If CCP actually cares about something it is done immediately. Just take a look at trade war with the US, CCP is always 10 steps ahead because they can move so fast as they can’t be held accountable. That’s actually why there are so many autocracy proponents in the west now - “democracy is too slow, we’re losing”.
I’ve been to China many times too and it does not rock lmao. You’ve been eating propaganda and it shows. China is extremely oppressive and it’s still incredibly underdeveloped despite LED covered cities you see on tiktok. It’s still a matchmaker and status driven society from 20th century despite EV tech.
Also freedom is not binary, the west is more free than China ever was. At least I can type “LGBT” to my chat app which you cannot do in China because CCP autocrats deem it “western propaganda”. None of this is a worthy sacrifice for faster decision making, I’d rather be slightly poorer but live in a healthier more free society.
Lmao another american demanding china enforce unilateral sanctions on every country that trades with israel in order to cut them off. What do you think would happen? Europeans or americans would just sell them chinese shit. You haven’t thought about this for five seconds. They would need to cut themselves off from every single nation in the US bloc, defeating the entire purpose of their economic strategy
What happened to the palestinian reporters al jazeera hired, by the way? Does your smushed walnut brain even have room for WHO RUNS AL JAZEERA 🤣 ?
China is Israel’s biggest exporter and 2nd biggest importer
CCP doesn’t give a fuck about Gazans or they would embargo, it’s just a retorical device for them.

Just like Trump has high approval among Fox viewers. Propaganda works.
And you’re not? Or do you just like the taste of jackboot?

You are incapable of non-binary thinking? It’s more free.
There are people much smarter than you or me who try to quantify freedoms and you know what’s never doing well on these evaluations? China.

not an american but you keep on raging with your dumb tiktok propaganda in hand lmao
people say its money that makes the world go round, but I think its more accurate to say trade makes the world go round.
Gotta buy that surveillance software in order to reverse engineer it.

So you disagree with palestinian calls for BDS?
Pretty pathetic to put simping for China above solidarity with Gaza
