You’re right regarding countries in the ‘free world’, but PRC has stricter data controls for industrial interests and the CIA’s human intelligence network was largely killed when Xi Jinping took power.

Why should I remember or care about the OPM hack? I’m less concerned by fantastical stories or things ‘attributed’ to China than the things the US government does around the world in my name or to me directly at home which are beyond dispute.

PRC is far less likely to do something malign with my data or my vehicle than the US government and the conglomerate of monopoly business interests it represents.

Do you find that far-fetched?

And in the 19th century when US industry was developing?

Same is true of US, Germany, Britain, etc

China and Vietnam are the only countries worldwide which have executed bankers for corruption in recent decades. No ahem necessary.

Yes. Why should I believe he was guilty of anything? The fair and balanced media said so?

I’m speaking with regards to the American legal system. Yes the endless foreign wars are also unconstitutional.

Until proven guilty, yes they are always innocent.

It's a joke that you're missing.

Absurd statement. If you omit surface-level syntax, there's very little that's "in the style of Ruby" in terms of actual semantics.

From "An Evaluation of the Program for Reducing the Workweek in the USSR"

> There is considerable evidence that the reduction in hours of work is a basic goal and commitment of the Communist movement and the Soviet state.

Nice you can also spam links without making an argument, some of which 404. Can you help me reverse a linked list in Python?

Can you address any of the points the commenter made instead of retreating into an ideological non sequitur?

Someone could have manually tried to archive it on September 1.

Her statements reflect uncertainty on whether the report would be published as there was intense political pressure in both directions.

Please calm down. They might not like Trump — that would be a given for many in these elite circles — but are they really opposed to the prevailing world order? In what material way?

How does being Swiss contradict anything I said? Switzerland is deeply integrated into this prevailing order. It is home to the Bank of International Settlements, the supra-national central bank of central banks whose charter grants it immunity from any national subpoena or inquest.

The Internet Archive recorded an error page for that URL just four minutes prior. So we know that the document was not available before September 1, after Bachelet's term had ended.

You chose the Internet Archive as authoritative evidence, not me. Your back-pedaling "most likely explanation" is again disproven by your own source as the Internet Archive recorded an error page for that URL just four minutes prior. So we know that the document was not available before September 1, after Bachelet's term had ended.

Where has the UN asserted that Bachelet prepared this report? Please share if you are aware of any such assertion.

Again, the report does not make any reference to the High Commissioner's inquiries as other reports do. Your "most likely explanation" fails to account for this.

Yes, media outlets lie and make errors all the time. Sorry to be the one to break this to you.

Great. So we can agree we shouldn't take anything at face value.

That's a very outdated model for how conspiracies work. Why would it be necessary to bribe and threaten journalists working at these organizations? They genuinely believe in the project of the US financial, military, and cultural empire. They went to the same schools and were socialized with the same core beliefs as the people in US government and high finance or those running the intelligence agencies and military-industrial complex. They wouldn't have the opportunity to work at these 'news' organizations if they had worldviews that were radically incompatible.

Likewise, I don't believe anyone is coercing you to push these ideas online. I believe I could drill down on every single source and claim, and your fundamental beliefs about this question would remain the same.

Proximity to and dependence upon established institutions exerts an inexorable gravity on worldview. It determines one's social circle and path to advancement in every area of life. Those inside the bubble feel themselves to be 'free thinkers', but one who strays outside the acceptable range of beliefs and ideas will immediately experience a sharp discontinuity in this 'freedom'.

The fact that Geneva was in UTC+2 (CEST) at the time the report was published. So what I said was correct.

Geneva was in UTC+2 (CEST) on August 31. So will you admit I am correct and you got sanctimonious for no reason?

Can you imagine a journalist who would lie for any possible reason?

I agree it was reported this way, but do we have evidence it was actually prepared and published by her at that time? The report conspicuously does not mention the viewpoint and concerns of the High Commissioner as other OHCHR reports do nor does it reference Bachelet's findings from her May 2021 visit to Xinjiang.

Why should I take the claims of journalists without evidence?

No it was released Sept 1 Geneva time, and her term ended Aug 31.

UN High Commissioner on Human Rights Michelle Bachelet actually visited Xinjiang and made no such assertions. Whoever did release the report you're referencing, they waited until immediately after her term ended to release it (within hours). Pretty conspicuous.

If you didn't have British Crown state media wrapping a narrative around these images you wouldn't think anything of them.

Ironic phrasing used here. China is the only country that actually has the capacity to deeply integrate AI into industrial manufacturing in a way that will reduce costs of goods. They already have lights-off autonomous factories without AI.
