“Nobody Cares About What’s Happening To The Uyghurs” In China

Billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya, a minority owner of the Golden State Warriors alongside majority owners Peter Guber and Joe Lacob, expressed what he called “a very hard, ugly truth” about China’s treatment of its Uyghur minority-Muslim population in the Xinjiang autonomous region.

“Nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs. You bring it up because you really care, and I think that’s nice that you care, the rest of us don’t care,” Palihapitiya said. “I’m telling you a very hard, ugly truth, okay? Of all the things that I care about, yes, it is below my line.”

[i]NBA has said that this is not their position.
And then didn't say what their position is.

Of all the things that I care about, the NBA is below my line.[/i]

And who is to stop China from treating these people as they do?
Answer: No one. China does as it wants and needs to.

@soar2newhighs Where's the international tribunal on China giving the world this virus? There isn't one.

@graphite China is and has been ascending and has made many rules and has much influence.
What international tribunal? China dismisses any such notions.
A nation that allegedly let potentially if not, infected persons to fly out of Wuhan and go abroad, yet controlled internal flights from Wuhan, does not concern itself with tribunals.

@soar2newhighs We farmed out all our manufacturing to them. They have us by the b***s

@graphite it’s about $$$, trade, and self serving interests and if it means using cheap and or forced labor, those benefiting won’t have issues. A US manufacturer has better opportunities and advantages not to be expected or given to them here, so why not go to China or elsewhere?
