Tucker Carlson: Corporate America Is An Active Collaborator With China's Murderous Police State
RealClear Politics ^ | 30 Nov, 2022 | Tim Hains

TUCKER CARLSON: Unless you read The Daily Mail, which is an English paper published online, you probably didn't know that Chinese President Xi Jinping sent tanks into a major city last night in order to put down protests against his rule. Virtually no American media outlets even acknowledge that that happened, and that's pretty weird if you think about it. Imagine, for example, that Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán put tanks into Budapest to crush his political opponents. Would our media notice? Oh, yeah, they would. It'd be on the front page of The New York Times. "Morning Joe" would lead with it, and keep in mind that Hungary is a very small country. It's got a GDP smaller than South Dakota's.

China, by profound contrast, has the biggest economy in the world. China is our main global rival.

We can say, we know for a fact, that Apple is covering for the government of China. Apple is the most valuable company in the world. It's got a current market cap of trillions of dollars. Financial listings describe Apple as an American company. You can see why they do. Apple is headquartered in the United States. It was founded by Americans. To this day, it's run by an American citizen, but those facts don't tell the story. In fact, at this point, Apple is in no sense American. Apple's loyalty is to the government of China and if you think that's an overstatement, consider this.

Earlier this month, Apple did the bidding of the Chinese government to crush domestic protests against the Communist Party there. Apple did this by disabling its permanent AirDrop feature in China and so far, only in China. It's the only country in which it's disabled. Why did Apple disable that feature in China?

Apple, Google, Nike, NBA. All suck up to China. I am sure I missed many communist-loving US companies.

Corporate America Banking and Business is complicit in climate policy that will reduce the food and energy supplies of the world and kill untold millions.

Getting upset about China seems a distraction from that reality.

It goes beyond corporate America and into many businesses / business leaders and sports figures.

It wasn’t that long ago that Big Business was a part of the Republican Big Tent. They were rewarded with tax legislation and a favorable corporate tax rate. Then they went Woke and all that work went down the drain. Maybe the RNC should have concentrated on workers rather than corporate masters?

Corporate America will always be a mercenary to any power that will help them achieve their goals. The only “morality” they will ever know is politically advantageous or connected “morality” such as ESG. They are fine with Marxism as they can survive easily in a fascist state, unlike unconnected (unimportant to the ruling class) small or medium size businesses.

Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

— Communist goal #37
Can’t say we weren’t warned that this was happening.

How can Xi be so ill-informed?

Here in the USA over 90% of the people live life without Covid fear.

Even the Chinese guy who comes to my library no longer disinfects a table or wears a mask.

A company toes the Communist Chinese line or it does not get to do business in Communist China.

Tucker rails against censorship in China.

Not even a single word about Arizona election fraud.

How about censorship at Fox, Tucker?

China is an important source of revenue for many multinational apparel companies like Nike (NKE), Gucci, and Abercrombie & Fitch as well. Other notable consumer goods companies with sales in China include Avon, Colgate-Palmolive, Tyson, Nabisco, Kellogg’s, Danone, Conagra, and Tupperware.

I still want to know why the Chinese have a police station in the United States.

Here is what happened:

The Occupy Wall Street movement scared the crap out of the corporate ruling class. There was a real threat to their ever increasing push for globalization and increasing percentage of wealth.

The solution was to buy favor and move to the left on social issues, in exchange for no longer having the Democrats talk about economic issues.

That is why everything became Woke virtue signaling and Climate Change marketing.

Vampire Economy, Corporatism, Techno Corporatism, GlobalCapitalism, what ever they name it this month.
You’d think they’d try other methods since these always fail.
