certainly and it seems they are taking such an approach as best they can.

China is dealing with the beginnings of a capital strike against them if they don’t start adapting here. It took 3 years, but enough global industry has now started to mobilize against them they need to start adapting.

there is a reason trotskyists tend to eat shit everytime they get a turn at the wheel.

I am continually surprised how inflexible and petulant adherents of that tendency often are.

If the best source of your opinion is a Trotskyist website advocating for china to escalate it’s zero covid policy into a global revolution then yes, perhaps evaluate lol

Besides, most of the imperialist core’s state media have also adopted the position that china relaxing it’s zero-covid policy is now somehow bad and catastrophic, as though they were not saying the exact opposite three days ago.

It is very easy to understand why you would feel that way. The West’s approach to covid has been truly been “pro-Covid” and it is horrifying.

I’m glad to hear it! I’m sorry that reassurance came in such a harsh form at first.

:deng-salute:

I apologize for going on the offense about this given you have family there.

The onslaught of Sinophobia on the western internet leads me to a default position of assuming negative intent.

I hope the best for China and that your family there remains in good health.

I retract my chauvinist accusation in light of this. You seem sincere. Apologies.

As always, solidarity with the people of China.

Then it sounds like we are in agreement

:parenti-hands:

Unsurprisingly, western media is also using this as an excuse to harp on about xinjiang again:
