US blocked imports of cotton from Xinjiang

samedi 5 décembre 2020 à 01:00

The US has blocked imports of cotton from Xinjiang on the grounds that China is using forced labor to produce cotton there.

I support this decision, but it raises many ironies. I doubt that the conman objects to forced labor; surely he has seized an excuse to hurt China. I doubt the US will do much to punish Kazakhstan for forcing children to pick cotton.

The reason I support this is that weakening China is very important. We have seen that US world domination generates injustice. Chinese world domination would lead to total subjugation.
