German Chancellor Olaf Scholz backs China, ignores government warnings in Hamburg port deal, report says - Feddit

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.

Lets be real, China owns a minor share on one terminal, not the entire fucking harbor like in other EU countries…
Thats one too many.
Better than Americans owning it.
If you say that with a straight face, then you have no idea how bad china is.

China did not invade Iraq, bomb half the countries in the Middle East or spent 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.

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.

Chairman Mao has been dead for almost 50 years. That mass murderer George W. Bush is still alive. It’s too late to condemn Mao, but it’s not too late to condemn Bush.

The horrible things CCP did 50 or 70 years ago is a matter for historians. The murders American thugs are committing today are a topic that affects our lives.

So you’re conflating leadership with country here - understandable, given how the CCP has gone to great lengths to erase that distinction within Mainland China.

The US has had, at times, some apocalyptically bad leadership, and over the years we’ve had varying flavors of “bad”. But the idea of what the country is supposed to be and what it stands for is distinct from the leadership that holds the reins for any given interval. This is absolutely not the case with China.

Apocalyptically bad leadership does not excuse mass-murder, invasion or coups.
