reporting to police sounds ridiculous in Chinese context. I'm sure if Peng shuai is not an internationally renowned athlete, she'll be end up in a state run lunatic home, which is actually the best outcome for her.

Their Mao Tze Tung once raped a 14 year old. That little girl had worshiped Mao before the rape. She didn't want to be a young mistress like many others. She was not executed because her family hold high ranking positions in the party. So she ended up in those homes. China experts plz dont say this is a madeup story. Her name is huimin chen. The story is well known with the party and told to the public by Mao's long-time secretary. Actually they talk about raping young girls as anecdotes of powerful men.

this is so not true. it's not that majority Chinese people don't like their government. They hate it. But I get it how you come to that. The chinese people you come across are by the chinese standard rich, super rich and hyper rich. Although to you they may seem just middle class ish. They are winners of the chinese game, large in number but still quite smaller in proportion to the chinese population. They are the people who benefit from and enjoy the servitude suffered by other Chinese people. If you're a governmental official or tech manager in a big Chinese city, you make money as on par with your counterpart in U.S. or even higher while enjoying 15 mins food delivery to your doorstep at cost of less than 1 U.S. dollar. Why is this possible? because local economy is destroyed in China and if you want to survive you have to go big cities accepting whatever meagerly paid job you could find. There is plenty of land you say. How about being a farmer? No, crop prices are mandated by state and selling to anyone else other than the state is a crime. So, suppose you are the "middle-class" people in China, how could you not love Chinese government? Chinese government creates so many slaves at your service. In the same light, how could any American people not love Chinese government? You enjoy super cheap stuff thanks to the Chinese slaves. Well Chinese people who are de-facto slaves in the country and who are the majority, would they love their government? Yes. Chinese people are different. They think differently. They have a different culture. They love hellish living conditions and working 12hrs day 30 days a month for something like 500-700 usd wihtout any benefit and security whatsoever while watching their government officials and government affiliated people splashing their wealth on a world stage and feel happy. Sophisticated experts on China like you tell us so. I got tons of downvotes for a china comment a year ago. I'd love to see the crowd here to downvote me again by something like, lets say China is evil, but the whole world (especially U.S.) is just as evil. Here are examples, see? So China does not do anything wrong. You are are spreading false information and hatred. Justice will not be done if you are not muted(downvoted)

Historically US trade black people like livestocks. Does that justify the ongoing human trafficking/sex slave/forced labour in South east asian and eastern europe?

As you implies, national security is not much of a thing. but it's pure naivety and shortsightedness that european countries take a pro-huawei stance in this trade dispute/war. Sure european people can get cheap smartphones from whuawei(because of Chinese government subsidies), but they would be pushed out of business in virtually every sector of the industry by whuawei someday. Anyone has been dealing with whuawei in business knows this. Actually this process has been ongoing.

So can U.S. government to U.S. companies. In the end, it boils down to the question in whom you have less distrust. Most people(in the world) will still side with U.S. no matter how they appear to be anti-american.

probably not. engineers only account for a very tiny portion of their entire employ base. They have a large army of operation people(for recruiting drivers, promoting, etc) and dispute/problem resolution people deployed at every city they are present. They need to work with each municipal govern body on regulations, transportation coordinations, airports, even minor issues like which side of the street pick-up is allowed. They also have to hire PR speciality to boost public image, lobbyist to dissuade politicians from initiating any regulations. They still need to pay some sorta insurance for drivers as they are still contractors. These are all huge costs
