Dealing with that is CIA business, not Activision Blizzard.

Or maybe it's CBP business. If a foreign regime is turning the trade taps on and off to impose their values, then the counter to that is to turn those taps off yourself and sever that influence.

I love that line of argument.

1) China has done >0 bad things

2) Comparison is whataboutism

in a thread about USA crimes asking 'but what about China?' would be whataboutism. with your line of thinking it's valid to derail any discussion.

Context matters. When the only relevant sins are those of our chief geopolitical rival.. at a certain point that says more about us than them.
