I am more surprised by the reactions I have seen in HN community here in recent times on this issue. They've been ranging from outright defending CCP to defending turning a blind eye because we need iPhones.
As a European, this is signalling me whatever the US was/or projected itself as... is long dead. At least in this generation.
Can you imagine an Apollo Era engineer defending CCP? How about a whole community of them, or most of them?
since in this case it's the parliament, I imagine it's not really a deliberate strategy, but more like something cultural that brings together all the members of parliament that voted for this.
you could say it's the value of human rights that brings them together but I suspect it's rather the desire to feel superior.
anyway, I think it's easy to pass judgement without knowing all the context. and only China knows all the context.
Obviously I know you are sarcastic. But I went to Iraq to see what ISIS has done to Yazidi people, a “real genocide”, where the people were tied up, put inside pits and shot. The Uyghurs genocide has not this violence, is more subdole but this doesn’t mean is less dangerous and illegal!
And must be reported by democratic states and public opinion.
