New trend in China burning Nike, shredding H&M, Funny


H&M will choose to keep quiet.

1. They do not want to continue provoking China and be boycotted by consumers. They are waiting for the event to fall into oblivion, after which Chinese consumers continue to buy their products

2. They will receive a victim card. The Western media and people will support them, see them as heroes who dare to speak the truth and be persecuted by the Chinese government and people. Their sales in the West will increase rapidly

How would it fall into oblivion when Xinjiang cotton is still being banned? Either they change their stance or expect prolonged boycott.

I believe Nike and HM and other companies need to be legally sanctioned by China. They may have the right to source raw material from anywhere they want but in this case these companies are explicitly mentioning they don't employ Uighurs anywhere in the supply chain. This is textbook discrimination and racial profiling which no country would tolerate.

Burning your own possessions is stupid unless the PR value in converting the loss of burning own goods into social movements towards boycotting a foreign product is exceeded. Even then is it the wisest path?

Most of these businesses manufacture and source many other aspects of their products from China and contribute to Chinese economic gain. It's not even necessarily a worthwhile thing to boycott them lol. This is all excessively stupid. The appropriate way to deal with this attack is to acknowledge and teach the fact that lies can have very real consequences. Strategies to combat the information warfare need to be planned and implemented. The Chinese government's responsibility and one they seem ill equipped to do because this is the greatest weakness of China. It has very little means to bring the fight to the enemy and can only weather attacks best they can while doing what it does best, actually develop and maintain progress using the same methods unless they become exhausted too.

The CCP can point out the lies and debunk them and only the Chinese people will care. The rest are not motivated by truth or actual morality. They are using information warfare and a facade of virtuous superiority to achieve strategic goals on China. You cannot engage them where there is only an illusion. Know your enemy and know yourself. By engaging the propaganda with pointing out the actual truths with evidence and pointing out hypocrisy, so few care and can be swayed that it cannot be converted to anything useful in defeating the kind of warfare being waged. Complaining about it to like minded people who already have their eyes opened to the truths is also pretty useless.

Hypocrite anti-woke Republicans all of the sudden want to be woke and now US corporations are going to feel the pain. How many people would've boycotted H&M or Nike if they didn't make a statement? Not many because US consumers already buy products made in China with all the anti-China politics. Now they're going to lose a major market. Stupid Americans are still thinking they're the only ones that buys the world's products hence why they think they have this faux power over China.

Very much this. Kim is a lot smarter than some people give him credit for and you call tell he wants a closer relationship with China from all the stuff he's signalling. Notice how in last year's parade his boys abandoned the Soviet style march and instead switched to PLA style march so they don't seem as bouncy? That's not a coincidence. As soon as the unrest in Hong Kong started in 2019 North Korea came out with a scathing piece in their state media with the tone of "just give the word uncle and I'll crush them all under my steel tread". China had to calm him down.

Word (from 观棋有语) is this year he wants to start a Deng style economic reform as well as put in a rule that his successor no longer has to be from the Kim family.

Don't forget how he personally attended the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Korean War.

If we look at the matter from a different perspective, the political system and the economic model of North Korea are not wrong. Economic opening is beneficial in the short term, but it makes a country dependent on the outside and creates risks related to terrorism, immigration, and racial conflict. ...

North Korea is an almost entirely independent politically, economically, and genetically indigenous country.
500 years later, they are still North Korea. As for China, Japan and Korea, 500 years later, they may not be themselves anymore.
