I just bought some scissors. Fiskars is a 375 years old Finnish company. They sell and design things in America and they build those things in China like everyone. Because China is just about unbeatable in manufacturing costs.<\/p>\n
Treating China as an enemy in politics while it is a 30-year partner in business building everything we have, virtually, is so much bad faith I can\u2019t believe it stays in the air.<\/p>\n
China is spying its citizens<\/em>. So is everyone in America and Europe. Remember Snowden? We can\u2019t get into China much so we\u2019re jealous I guess.<\/p>\n It is an authoritarian communist country<\/em>. Yeah well then why the fuck are we doing business with them for long decades, complaining that jobs are leaving our countries? Why do the Olympics over there then? And of course, how are we much better these days? We are not. And stop letting them build Chinese police station outside China, tf. <\/p>\n They will take over<\/em>. Over what? We need each other and they have a lot to do inside their country. I trust them to find a better system than what we know. We trust them to build everything<\/em> we have, we can trust Chinese folks to evolve. We need to evolve as well.<\/p>\n They copy everything.<\/em> Who the hell doesn\u2019t in business? IG didn\u2019t copy TikTok?<\/p>\n National security, Harold<\/em>. What does it mean in a global economy with 100K+ flights a day and where the worst things are always done by local folks? School shootings in America, cars ramming people in Europe and gang rapes in India. All locals.<\/p>\n So attacking Meta on the basis that they\u2019re doing business with China<\/a>, who has been doing business with everyone company in the world prior, is not a good angle, I think. Cisco helped China with surveillance and censorship before<\/a> by the way. I wonder where it went. <\/p>\n We live absurd times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just bought some scissors. Fiskars is a 375 years old Finnish company.
