Again, the atrocities committed by the CCP are in a whole different league. For example I post on Twitter all the time criticizing President Trump and the U.S. government. If I were a Chinese citizen in China criticizing Xi Jinping, first of all Twitter is blocked (as is Google, Facebook, and basically half the internet), and I'd be kidnapped and never seen again.

Again the U.S. has a ton of problems. But equating them to the CCP is like equating Trump or Hillary Clinton to Hitler. I don't like Trump, but he is an angel compared to Hitler.



And the CCP an Iran are a human rights paradise compared to Saudi Arabia.

If we are talking about principles here.


Then why is any corporation or person allowed any involvement with China? Where are the heavy-duty sanctions to punish China and those businesses who interact with it?

You'll hear this big anti-China talk, but no one actually wants to shutdown trade with China. It is too lucrative. It just sounds like a bunch of people complaining about China to distract from domestic problems.


I never said that we should ban trade with China or impose sanctions. I don't see how that's relevant.


Then how do you punish China for their actions? Right now the way the US behaves only further encourages their behavior.

There is an economic price to pay to take the moral high ground, and it's a price that no one seems to want to pay.
