Strange how so many of us in the US that seem so compassionate toward immigrants (legal and illegal) and refugees and denounce any opposition in the name of compassion and love for all, the people who protest and boycott anyone that opposes their views. These are the same people who are buying iPhones and other things from China whose sales basically sponsor massive human rights violations like this.

Do we not realize what hypocrites we are? We are funding the very actions and ideals that we vehemently oppose. All of us Silicon Valley residents who are so supportive of inclusion, acceptance and rights... Many of us work for the very companies that sponsor the exact opposite values on over a billion people. And we claim that we aren't tribal nationalists? What are we then? Why are our strong moral convictions so geographically limited?

We should ask ourselves and anyone around us who claims to believe in a cause for freedom, rights and equality to please explain why our beliefs don't go beyond the boundaries of the United States (or other western countries). Is it fake virtue? Is it blind apathy created by materialism and greed? It is nationalism, stateism, racism ETC? What is it? Shouldn't there be stories about things like this in the liberal media on a daily bases. Liberal ideas don't apply to China apparently. I dare to think how China may be different today if for the last 18 months, the Mainstream media covered stories like this one in place of all the millions of largely fluff partition anti Trump ones. My opinion is that at the very least least a large amount of pressure would have been put on China to address at least some of this trend. Perhaps our country country would have found some common ground and actually moved toward a center on a least something. All the while helping millions of Chinese citizens at the same time.

How is ignoring this situation and actually sponsoring it financially ok with the average American citizen (regardless of party affiliation)?
