Obligatory that's exactly what a bot would say comment

Sounds like something that a real person would never do.

How many of those are pandering to China? You left a lot of context off the post, like the population numbers And the fact that China uses slave labor

Isn't this post about Canada?

Lies. My family had a factory in Wuxi, China. 2 buildings that were dedicated to dormitories. 4 buildings dedicated to manufacturing promotional products.

We were able to lease the land for 50 years with a 50-year option at the end of the term.

Around year 5, the government decided to turn the main dirt road into a proper road. They took back 1/4 of the land. They just used our area for staging.

About a year after the road was made, they decided to expand the road. They took back now 1/2 of the original land and buildings.

Less than a year after the expansion, they turned the 4 lane road i to a highway. They took the entire land back. My family invested millions of dollars in buildings and infrastructure. We got back pennies on the dollar spent on the investment on compensation.

My family never fully recovered financially.

It's hard to overstate how much safer and more ethical it is to use eminent domain and fairly compensate someone monetarily for their property than to leave their house in the middle of a highway

I mean so does the United States thanks to the 13th amendment but we don't have anywhere near the same infrastructure to show for it

Proof or I don't believe.

China was invaded by Japan before WW2. Look up the Rape of Nanking if you want specifics. Once WW2 ended China had a civil war. The CCP managed to win and Mao Zedong ascended to power. He led the Cultural Revolution which basically eliminated the old ways of China to pave the way, over the bodies of millions of people, for modern China.

I've been to urumqi, literally anyone can go there.

Theres no slave labor, its normal industrial farms. Unless youre suggesting the guys driving the combine harvesters or running the factories are secretly enslaved.

not a downvote either. guess you didn't say the magic word.

Uyghurs

all the big countries have slave labour by any other name, they all fucking suck

The only country I know taht has slave labor is the US and their barbaric Gulf states friend.
But the poor Uyghurs!!!! BS propaganda

It's not like workers having to do 2 or 3 jobs in the US just to allow their family to survive are really "free workers". At least slaves in China seem to benefit the country. In the US, the slaves just benefit big corporations and their shareholders.
