@MiniKodjo It's owned by China, ran by the state, it's a surveillance tool.

@BP-ie7xf Do you use group-think to either trust or disregard every piece of content and comment that you come across? You're doing yourself a disservice.

That's because our quality assurance has quality assurance. Our regulations have regulations. It can be a pain to have everything licensed and inspected but... yup.

@taterkaze9428 Depends on your contractor but at least here, in the USA, there's both pre and post drywall inspections on all new construction. Just never use an inspector hired by the contractor. Like I stated, our Q&A has Q&A.

@BP-ie7xf I hate to break it to you but industrial sabotage is a thing. Like Afşin-Elbistan A.

@taterkaze9428 Also, here, if someone like, let's say a city engineer or an OSHA worker, were to take money to fully break certain regulations... buddy, it's no small crime. Obtaining money by false pretense, taking full or advance pay for unregulated/unlicensed or incomplete work, larceny for failure to perform construction, these are felonies.

@kamsunleong6648 Freight doesn't need to go faster. We have actual infrastructure and don't rely heavily on railway for transportation. Funny how someone from an Asean country is advocating for China. Do you know why Asean was created? You can be glad for yourself without the insecurity against the west.

@kenbehrens5778 Yeah, roads get resurfaced, mortar gets replaced, buildings get demolished. All in a controlled cycle and manner. Built to spec by strict engineering standards to begin with. That's why we don't have trucks falling into the roadways.

@georgeawestjr.9087 CRRC MA rail cars are Buy America compliant, provided by American suppliers, and installed by American unions.

@marknbeckygoodell8763 The contaminated rice is an issue mostly in southern China. Even potatoes have cadmium. Just don't buy rice from China.

@jameswatson5807 Was it when they broke through the border unannounced, performed a surprise attack and took people? Oh, no, that wasn't them. Legitimate states don't do that. Legitimate states declare war, give time to evacuate. So answer the question.

@sans3go342 Too right. It's like giving an uncapped credit card to somebody with no credit history and letting them spend $540,000 on 40% APR when they don't have any realized assets.

@kamsunleong6648 Oh no, you don't know, do you? Who actually gives you the most aid? Who wants to tell them? Funny thing, western aid also hasn't put you into a debt trap with railways that are already falling apart. They don't care if you "pay" them or not, your currency just gets devalued in international trade. They actually prefer that you never pay the loans.

@kamsunleong6648 It's the same way a bank works. They derive value from future interests. It's why China buys marketable futures in the US housing market and allows massive debt in countries that can't pay. It gives value to the Yuan and gives them more negotiating power over India etc., especially in privileges such as Special Drawing Rights...

A lot of the Foxconn and Samsung manufacturing, pipelines, injection molding, a lot of business was up for grabs. We were set to have a job market of potentially 30+ million. Deals were broken, pipelines shut down, all on day 1. I don't do left vs right, it just is what it is and was going to happen either way. Same story for Europe. Now we have inflation to make our existing job market cheaper and a allow our goods to contend in the global market, instead of just going back to work. USA is the world's #1 oil producer. Look at our coal too, we consume far less and just ship it to China now. We either become a source of reliable technologies or we re-industrialize. Look at our goods. How much for a German to buy a shovel actually made in USA? Or an American to buy vinyl produced in the UK? But we can buy from China for cents on the dollar? It's because their state owns everything, they exploit children and barely pay the people anything. Can't compete with triple shifts and nets outside of the factory windows. But people still buy Apple, so...

@Kenshin6321 It's all those deals he cancelled on day 1.

@Gambit771 We can't control them and it's foreign access. Remember the security issues here with Apple and Samsung? Companies can't refuse the government there based on freedoms and rights. From security to consumer patterns, best we help ourselves and not those which we'll soon be in conflict with. 24,000 troops on Okinawa alone, ready to defend Taiwan or Philippines.
1
@Gambit771 It's your choice to own what you own. If it's going to happen either way, better that you're still protected under law here. Quite a difference. I'd rather it benefit my own country than a potential enemy. Not hard to understand.

iPhone users, remember, you are supporting China. Samsung is a South Korean company with manufacturing in Vietnam.

They don't care if 300 million people die to take an island. Of course they don't care about the food.

@jameswatson5807 What? You're mad at Israel? For...?

@jameswatson5807 Do you know the stated agenda of hummus? You've heard it before, out of the mouth of a man with a very distinct moustache.
1
@jameswatson5807 There has been constant conflict but not an actual declared state of war since the UN recognized Israel. 2005-6, Israeli people completely left the area, gave them every chance, then they voted in hummus and the agenda.. Voted... so, still, rockets. Iron dome is a *defense*. Then this.

@jameswatson5807 Technically, Israel recognized Palestine as a legitimate state 7 years before the UN did. And this is what happened.
1
@jameswatson5807 side note; Palestine wasn't a legitimate state till 2012, recognized by 139 of 193 member states today with observer status. They have a seat and a voice but not a vote.

@jameswatson5807 I've been paying attention for decades.

@jameswatson5807 Something lost in translation?
