    China and it’s hostage diplomacy tactics. It’s how outlaw states run and it’s fucking disgusting that we still treat with them when they pull this evil shit.

      There’s a very simple reason why we trade with them. UK made jeans from Hebtroco using local and ethically paid labour start from £120. Primark jeans made by slaves in some remote shit hole start from £12. Guess which company has tens of millions of customers and which one has only thousands instead.

    There is no law or justice in China. No legal processes. No human rights or constitution. There is only the will of the party.
