Perhaps it’s due to their involvement with the concentration camps, or their close ties with the CCP, or subverting sanctions against Iran?

It’s also absurd that EU would even consider using Huawei in the first place given their desire to achieve technological sovereignty.

> DDG does a proper proxy.

How do you know? I mean they’re closed source and you have no idea what data they send to Microsoft’s Bing and Advertising APIs.

Boycott everything Made in China (I’ve been doing it for years, and it’s not that difficult.. I mean if you can find alternative for 9 out of 10 goods then it’s of course still a big win). Similarly, boycott companies that kowtow to China (you can probably save a lot of money by doing so, e.g. by pirating all Disney movies/tv series instead of going to the cinema/paying for Disney+).

Support companies that voice support for those oppressed by the CCP (such as ProtonVPN, Notepad++).

Vote for politicians that are not afraid to stand up to CCP (I for instance voted for Trump despite having my political views mostly align with Sanders - solely due to his anti-China stance.. you can of course also argue that his administration has singlehandedly done more to stand up to China than the rest of the world combined in the past couple decades).

Spread awareness of China’s atrocities. If more people realized that CCP are even more evil and dangerous than Nazi Germany then we’d likely see more aggressive policies towards China (such as banning their companies from our markets, keeping the tariffs (Biden said he’d end them) - hopefully with other countries similarly implementing tariffs).

I don’t think it’s obvious at all, especially when you view it on a mobile. You can also see the words Morrison used to describe the post: “truly repugnant, deeply offensive, utterly outrageous. The Chinese government should be totally ashamed of this post. It diminishes them in the world’s eyes. It is a false image and a terrible slur on our defense forces.”

As for whether the post should be removed.. well, I’m personally against censorship, but if you’re going to remove Trump’s posts then I similarly think this post ought to be removed as well.

Most of the claims have nothing to do with Adrian Zenz, and I’d love to know what you have against him since his reporting seem to be factually accurate.

If the judges hadn’t blocked Trump’s attempt at banning TikTok and WeChat (he had made clear intentions that he would go after more Chinese apps/companies as well) then Apple could’ve been in a position where they were forced to block Chinese apps worldwide, which would almost certainly guarantee that China wouldn’t be able to build popular apps that could be used to spread CCP propaganda and censorship, and influence elections.

Apple’s lack of side loading not only protect the users from malware, but it could also serve as the perfect weapon for the US government to make it near impossible for a company/nation to compete in the mobile app sector. That’s likely why 40%-Tencent owned Epic engaged in a desperate PR lawsuit to try to make it possible to side-load apps.
