Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida on Wednesday criticized Eastman Kodak CEO James Continenza for apologizing to Communist China for an Instagram post showing conditions in the Xinjiang region, saying the apology only empowers Beijing to continue its atrocities against Uyghur Muslims.

Kodak last month deleted a post featuring 10 images by photographer Patrick Wack depicting the Xinjiang region in western China, where the Chinese Communist Party is accused of committing crimes against humanity against hundreds of thousands of Uyghur Muslims who are imprisoned there and forced to perform hard labor.

In the post, Mr. Wack described the photos as portraying an “abrupt descent into an Orwellian dystopia.”

Kodak, facing steep criticism by the Chinese Communist Party, deleted the post and apologized.

“For a long time, Kodak has maintained a good relationship with the Chinese government and has been in close cooperation with various government departments,” Kodak said. “We will continue to respect the Chinese government and the Chinese law. We will keep ourselves in check and correct ourselves, taking this as an example of the need for caution.”

We need a parallel economy, like Bongino is always talking about. No way we could go on dealing with these woke corporate types and not lose our country and freedoms.

What must it feel like to serve your own balls up on a platter to the enemy?

A truly disgusting display of cowardice. Only a person with no self respect could do this.

In case you really wondered if China is our master.

Kodak CEO studied wokeness and learned such things as how to bow humbly and meekly like Obama to a Chinese leader on videos. “And don’t forget the inferiority shown in your facial expression. The dominant Chinese love that stuff.”—Barack.

Can’t believe these corporations going woke and bowing to our enemy!

[Gene Eric]

Feckless losers they are.

The people with the fists raised are glad not to be the one with the hat on.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Kodak? What do they do, make floor cleaner or furniture polish or something?

The one who pays the fiddler calls the tune....................

"Can’t believe these corporations going woke and bowing to our enemy!"

As can be seen, for some of the corporate CEOs, betraying your country comes easy.

Orientals are really into that whole fake apology bullcrap. Ever notice, you never see China apologizing to us for anything?

Wow, Kodak is still alive? I honestly thought they’d dried up and blown away after inventing the digital camera…and then shelving it.
