    In this case, they always talk about how even though these protests are against Foxconn, the actual enemy is the See See Pee and CoVid-Zero

    notice how the American press uses Foxconn’s shitty labor practices to attack China while still protecting Foxconn

      Holy shit, yes. I didn’t even catch that. They didn’t even fucking criticize Foxconn for not providing the adequate resources (like food, which was a major point of the protest) the workers needed due to the Covid restrictions. And that there was no protection for workers from getting covid within the workplace itself.

      It’s like the perfect example of what would’ve happened all over China if not for the government. Capitalists forcing the entire population to go back to work not caring about the risk.

      I also love the press and politicians shitting on China regarding pollution when western capital specifically outsourced the dirtiest industries to China for cost savings. Despite that, China still has a lower per-capita pollution lower than the US.
