    I also find it hilarious that every global multinational offshored everything they possibly could to China, thus their own operations are directly subsidised by the CCP and Chinese labor, yet they cry foul when consumers buy from them directly.

    “Sure we cut 90% of our western workforce, dramatically reduced the quality of jobs and pay for the remaining 10%, directly financing and empowering the CCP for decades, and kept all the profits for ourselves, but consumers are the terrible ones for not supporting our skeleton onshore operation (which we will automate 100% of if able to)”

      Exactly, it’s a problem with capitalism. And China seems to be speedrunning it.
