A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
How long ago was that?
That wasn’t a common thing, it’s not a thing now, and it was the result of Foxconn’s illegal labor practices which the “authoritarian” state has since put the kibosh on.
On the off-chance that your question isn’t rhetorical, previously.
The US isn't exactly a standard, because a shitload of people live in poverty in the US.
Also I am still finding German news articles as recent as 2022 that conditions at Foxconn still havent improved (the Foxconn scandal was like in 2010 to 2011) and that suicide safety nets aren't that rare at manufacturing factories in China.
Also your last link isn't working.
Bullshit articles about China are a de rigueur for Western media, because god forbid you should encounter the threat of a good example.
Also, you seriously using Chomsky as a source? Dude is a total hack and bootlicker. Also dude was friends with Jeffrey Epstein.
He is a hack, but probably not in the way that you think.
Sometimes he’s right, though.
China is not all evil, but holy shit you need to get that boot out of your mouth. Also why the fuck do I want to believe state media when it is in their interest to hide the bad sides of their country? China based sources are either state controlled or bullshit right wing or Falun Gong based news sites like Epoch Times.
I don’t have a boot in my mouth, and nobody asked you to believe state media. In fact the links I posted were Western corporate media and the United Nations. You’re raging over a straw man you’ve made up in your head.
Also Taiwan based media warning of factories in the mainland not paying living wages and the wages being as low as 6 RMB. https://www.chinatimes.com/realtimenews/20230302001324-260410
Of course it is. The cold war never ended and neither has its propaganda. Technically this is war propaganda, because the civil war between the PRC & ROC still hasn’t officially ended, which is why Taiwan is still a part of China.
Are you going to bring links to Radio Free Asia or Adrian Zenz next? What you don’t realize is that you’ve been propagandized even more than the Chinese people themselves.
Taiwan is part of China? You are trippin. Also it's has been awhile since you've made such a ridiculous response.
