You know it’s bad when Belgium says you have a bad human rights record.

One more reason to avoid and prevent chinese influence worldwide.

And another reason for me not to buy chinese stuff. Which is not always so easy, considering how incredibly much is "Made in China", either in parts or as a whole.

I know it's almost useless, and a bad joke in comparison of trading volume, but at least I can tell myself that I don't fund an inhumane government.

(Instead I fund other companies which are suboptimal in terms of some ethical aspects, because capitalism in its current form sucks and there isn't much choice.)

I mean. That's exactly what i do in the game crusader kings. Assimilate the newly aquired population to the existing one to minimise the chance of a rebellion.

Man that took a long time until it was related to Europe

China is just trash. Not just their government, but culturally too.
