The US government banning anything based on suspected use of forced labor is laughable. Pretty blatantly anti-China, and very hypocritical when a lot of US states use glorified slave labor. It is quicker to name the large US companies that don't use prison labor than the ones that do.

I don't think Israel's government cares.

Classic playbook for him and his successive governments: constantly trading human lives for political power and votes.

"TikTok does what every social media company does but this time it's Chinese so it's bad" is what this headline should really say.

Looks like even Chinese citizens aren't immune to "Murica best freedom" propaganda.

Remember: when China does it, it's bad and evil. When the USA does it, it's patriotic and courageous and fighting for world freedom.

Not once in that report did the UN refer to it as a genocide, as I stated

When it comes to Xinjiang, I trust the UN's own report that there isn't a genocide happening

The sourcing is nebulous by their own admission and the phrasing of the entire article is overtly negative and inflammatory. It could be entirely made up and we have no way to prove it true or false.

I don't believe a single word the CIA says about China and neither should anyone who is interested in the truth.

Their sourcing is, by the article's own admission, nebulous. Don't trust a single word the CIA says about anything related to China.

Source: Radio Free Asia, aka the CIA, who have obvious material interest in smearing China as much as possible. China may have problems but the bias here is pretty overt.

"US government official agrees with position of US State Department propaganda, more news at 11"

 

If you need advice that particular kind of DIY, feel free to post here and tag me or DM me directly. Hopefully I can be very helpful to some of you folks who either can't afford to pay expensive mechanics or want to learn on your own.

I work as an independent mobile mechanic in middle Tennessee (for now). My primary work is motorcycles and small engines, but I've done plenty of work on cars too. I used to post quite often on r/fixxit back before I left Reddit.

Pic is an example of my work. That's one of my motorcycles, which I resurrected from the dead. I took that picture while was riding to the small town of Cave-In-Rock, Illinois, to rebuild 4 carburetors for a customer, and in line waiting on a ferry to cross the Ohio river.
