A comment on Apple’s longtime supplier accused of using forced labor in China. Parent comment
However we also shouldn't trivialize Chinese atrocities:
A number of the things that happens there will hopefully get into the history wall of shame as soon as we dare challenge it.
We are however in a rough place right now IMO:
- US is weak and has little (but still significant) moral edge.
- US has a military edge but a full scale conflict will >70% become really messy (think nuclear)
- China has a number of other countries (and influential persons) around the world by the b*lls.
- China has an advantage on manufacturing and logistics
Anyone who wants to fix this
- either needs a brilliant idea and probably lots of luck
- or some serious skills in politics (to get local support for taking correct actions with the necessary firmness)
