You can't take on the entire world and win

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Thank you Doc for making some valid points that can be argued here as the OP could not or would not.

I won t sign on to this suggested part about the Chinese people are to blame as much as the government for mainland China is. That one is problematic. Please fill us in more on what your valid points are in essentially equating a population that exceeds 2 billion people worldwide ( counting China's Ex Pats) with the actions and record of an autocratic government?

The first thing I would do (in the UK) is force Amazon to display prominently, on the front page of every product, the country flag of origin and then have a search function which excludes Chinese products. People should wake up to the extent of their lack of choices about where they are sending their money.
Maybe time for a petition? it would be interesting to see what the numbers look like.

Seems like a really, really slow play.

Exporting cheap opiods and slashing manufacturing costs seems to be a much more effective strategy.

My friend shared a picture, ( sorry I cant figure out put to copy and paste a pic here)

Photo of a Chinese fishing fleet boardering the Galapagos marine reserve.

Comment was:
Like our friend John T. Said... “ It only takes a quick google search to find out that China is funding the Ecuadorian government “ and this my friends is what they call “ paying back a debt “ Shame on both governments!!
🇨🇳 and Ecuador 🇪🇨 🤮
