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.

    First they decide to get all their gas exclusively from Russia, which, as it happens, turned out not to be such a great idea. Now they want to sell their biggest port to China.

    It seems that Germans just never learn.

              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.

                  The CCP is potentially going to start a war

                  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.
