That is a really stupid thing to argue because:That’s fair: the point was that there was no equivalent to those specific firms (but even of your list - Cisco, Juniper, Ciena, Wabtec, and Westinghouse are equivalent ish firms). And then the point, even if China had an identical set of firms that the U.S. had, China’s per worker productivity would still be ~25% the U.S. because China has 4 times as many people making the same amount of stuff. Since at best, everyone on this forum is arguing equivalence of Chinese and U.S. firms instead of substantial Chinese overperformance, that necessitates the obvious conclusion that U.S. workers are for now (and for at least 2-3 decades into the future) going to sustain that productivity overperformance
Gotta love the free speech endorsement. Has the SeeSeePee ever arrested underage people for inappropriate social network content?
That is not true. Swastikas from Nazi is clockwise while in China, it is 卍字(wan)counter clockwise.Buddhist temples have swastikas in them so it would be pretty indescriminate unless under certain context.
White supremacy has a price and a cost and white supremacists will keep paying it.The beauty and benefit of being a more than willing lapdog of the U.S. empire:
Hence why I said certain context.That is not true. Swastikas from Nazi is clockwise while in China, it is 卍字(wan)counter clockwise.
swastika was Buddhist long before the Third Reich subsumed it. So I wouldn’t want to ban itYes I'm aware of that. But afaik if a person wears a nazi symbol and gets into a quarrel, they will be the ones considered guilty for instigating it, which acts as a very soft ban.
I'm just asking if people think there may be a merit to doing more.
About the swastika I think action should be taken for it as well, but Germany had only inflicted diplomatic damage to China (through the axis alliance).
If China was to ban swastika solely on the grounds of genocide, then it must ban the symbols of any regime that has committed any genocide, like Hutu, Israeli, Belgian etc. To me, this does not make sense.
On the other hand, if a swastika ban is based on the grounds of banning the glorificarion of countries permitting/encouraging aggression against China, then I'd propose packaging the swastika ban together with other far right symbols of equivalent threat as Germany, such as the British occupation of HK flag etc. This makes more sense to me.
