German Chancellor Olaf Scholz backs China, ignores government warnings in Hamburg port deal, report says(www.politico.eu)

posted 1 year ago

An investigation by German regional public broadcasters reported Wednesday that Scholz’s chancellery is pushing to approve efforts by Chinese state-owned shipping giant Cosco to buy a foothold in a container port in Hamburg, ignoring warnings from six federal ministries, including the Greens’ Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, amid fears of risky economic over-dependence on Beijing.

China did not invade Iraq, bomb half the countries in the Middle East or spend 60 years trying to starve Cuba.

If we wanted to list every invastion, coup or regime change change America did, it would take a very long time to do it.

Anything is better than that evil.

The CCP has killed far more people through outright negligence and stupidity than the US has killed since the CCP became a thing that existed in the world. The CCP is, as we speak, ethnically cleansing one of its ethnic minority groups in reeducation (concentration) camps. The current leadership of the CCP ascribes to a “might makes right” school of thought in the geopolitical arena, much to the serious dismay and concern of its neighbors. The CCP is potentially going to start a war with the rest of the world over Taiwan, which at this point is not feasible to even consider reintegrating.

We can keep going, if you want.

Anything is better than that evil.

potential wars are not as bad as real wars that Americans has waged.

There are millions of refugees in my countries from places that America has bombed: Iraq, Afganistan, Syria, Libya…

You’re just too brainwashed to see that your country is a murderous tyrant.

Oh, that’s how we’re playing it? Ok:

The CCP killed somewhere between 15M and 55M in 1959, 1960, and 1961 with absolutely criminal levels of negligence which lead to the “Great Leap Forward”.

Your move.

As an aside: there’s a fuckton of things in America today and its history that are super fucked up and indefensible. I’m not blind to that, and I think part of being a good citizen of a country is looking at its failures in an objective and honest fashion, in the interest of learning from those failures. I do that as a matter of habit, as history is one of my latent passions. You seem to just be mastrubating in front of Chairman Mao propaganda posters.
