Oh look a proxy for banning Chinese products based on lies.

You know they’re not going to ban basically every processed seafood item from Thailand or every smartphone and computer. Just Xinjiang cotton as part of their toeing the American line using fairy tales.

Somehow I doubt they’ll ban commodity imports from the Global South. Imagine what would happen to european chocolate without French Imperial cocoa.

We here at hexagonal leather daddies dot net do not believe western governments when they claim to care about issues like this and instead assume that they will use these regulations disingenuously as a cudgel against their geopolitical rivals without substantiating their accusations, while ignoring actual proven incidences of whatever they’re pretending to care about today in allied countries or by western companies.
