Germany must not be “naïve” about the “very real” risk of China invading Taiwan, one of Berlin’s top economic advisers has warned. Monika Schnitzer, who leads the Council of Economic Experts, said the country must reduce economic ties with the world’s second biggest economy to avoid “a real moment of conflict” if Xi Jinping sends troops onto the island.

      I do remember the Japanese camps, and I also remember the people of color who are imprisoned in slave-like conditions for many years for minor misdemeanors (or, what should be ones).

      I also remember the systematic killing of people of color by the police, who are protected by the state via qualified immunity.

        You were talking about projection. I can’t remember the US ever accusing China of bombing other countries.

          What about the long time race and class setting dominant in all aspects of life in the US, black people are third class citizens and they have little to no right in certain circumstances. Black ghettos are equivalent to human slave camps.
