Duh!
Looks like the totalitarian left media are finally admitting that China has rights violations. Of course this has been so for decades.
Interesting that they chose to bring it up now. Is it an attempt to assign the blame to present foreign policy.
It certainly shouldn't be to recommend befriending our biggest enemy economically and politically (well some of us) ... militarily soon.

But I wouldn't actively implement such censorship as policy (as currently done by Facebook, Google, Youtube, et al.)
The motives are the same... for sure!
I bet they are still pining for the old ways when people's lives were monitored, those who had independent thinking sent to Mongolia, passport was needed to travel to the next province, and no access was available to ANY news from the West.
You can't change the stripes of the beast. A hyena will always be a hyena.
Not for Biden, obviously. His son's business is overriding all considerations .
Do not forget what happened to "Tank man" He disappeared never to be seen again.
So interesting it is finally coming to mainstream media. Must just be Trump's policies that have changed the great China to a totalitarian mess!
An interesting brief history is the 1951 While You Slept: Our Tragedy in Asia and Who Made It, by John T. Flynn who is, or used to be, famous for his The Roosevelt Myth in 1948, 2nd edition 1956..
My brother had a Chinese jack stand break and drop a transmission in his lap.
The jack stand in question had a massive casting flaw. It failed because it was crap. He wasn’t really hurt. He is quite solid.
"As good as USA products" doesn't mean what it used to. Much of the blame is consumers who in mass don't think and go for the cheapest price tag, driving quality to a lowest common denominator. The quality then sinks below even what consumers expect, and it becomes difficult or impossible for more discerning buyers to find quality even when willing to pay more. That then opens a pseudo market with higher prices for fancier-looking products only pretending to be higher quality.
What do your approved suppliers sell to you?
We use vendor qualification procedures and incoming inspection as we would apply to all vendors to catch quality issues that may arise as early as possible
Overall, supply from China has been excellent and the intense competition in China has worked to our benefit. Unfortunately, trumps tariffs are very damaging to us. We actually ship more finished goods internationally to Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Canada and Mexico
than we buy components from China by a large margin. If we didn’t buy from China we wouldn’t be able to secure international orders with attractive prices. This is a Milton Friedman thing in actual practice
We sell noting at all TO CHINA. We could not compete at all in their domestic market
My favorite irony in the world is a “Union First” bumper sticker in a Walmart parking lot. Buying ones way out of the future!
If you are referring to Chinese made stuff being all union, then yes, except it wasn’t his. It was a friends he was helping.
The worst case response by China would be to cut off trade with us, which they need more than we do.
Interesting. WaPo and Beitbart?
They are as far on news coverage from each other as the North Pole from the South Pole.
It must have been some factual elements that the Chinese gov doesn't want the populace to know about.
Speaking of which: I recommend redpetition.com to anyone who is thinking of cutting the cord.
What is the motive?
