I support Kanter.
Will Chinese government block out Celticsstrong too??
I’d be surprised if it already isn’t blocked, but I’m definitely with Kanter on this one.
Someone has to stand up to China.
This is where American culture is supposed to influence China toward more tolerance. Unfortunately, too much of American culture has become $$$ culture and with those motivations it's easier for China to influence American culture toward intolerance.
American culture isn't going to change the Chinese government or the Chinese people in any meaningful way. Chinese government has perfected controlling their people without doing so in a heavy handed way to most of their people.
Hate to say it but when it comes to economics, they probably do capitalism better than we do right now. They're run like a company in that at the end of the day the CEO/Chairman Xi lays down the law and not following the company line/culture just isn't tolerated.
And, of course, we can all evaluate the merits (or lack thereof) of that ourselves. But culture, government, and economics aren't as closely linked as you might presume.
You're correct that than in a vacuum unfettered capitalism in the US absolutely ends with God King Bezos, emperor of Dune.
