    The Western World: the Chinese government is a dangerous authoritarian government

    Also the Western World: we should do billions and billions of dollars worth of trade with China.

      I’ve never met any Swiss, but their government sure is dogshit on the international stage at doing anything except protecting the ultra-wealthy.

      Not all of them, but they have some dark, greedy shit going on that’s obviously systemic.

      “It says ‘Return to the Republic of China’, so I guess that’s China.” - some very confused mailman

      More realistically speaking, it was sent to China for repairs… so it was probably just the Swiss company trying to cheap out on labor costs in the most horrendous way imaginable for Taiwanese national security.

      No, they probably just don’t give a shit or received some cash under the table. Do you really think Switzerland, a country known for being “”“neutral”“” in the face of fascism and genocide, profiting off scams and white-collar crime committed in other countries, allowing Hitler to stash stolen Jewish gold and then stealing losing it after the Reich collapsed, and giving birth to the crime against humanity known as Nestle, would give a fuck about something as insignificant as allowing a sovereign nation’s military technology fall into the hands of their imperialist next door neighbor?

        Yes. Most do.

        However there are two China’s.

        The Republic of China and the Peoples Republic of China. Both governments claim to be rightful governing bodies of China greater.

    Swiss and fucking everyone over getting in bed with authoritarian governments. You’d think the mountaincunts had money left over from the gold they pulled from the mouths of victims of the holocaust.
