        It is not an accident, that Stripe has limited investment in China. It was a deliberate choice, because of both the moral and economic costs of doing business within an unfree state.

        But most CEOs decided that the benefits — among them the vast labor pool and even vaster consumer market — outweighed those costs.

        Finally! What took them so long to write about this? Let’s start by STOPPING the chinese funds buying property everywhere in the US. I mean those who are neither US permanent residents or US citizens.

        Followed by, holding the Ivy League schools accountable for admitting more Chinese than other any country’s nationals. I don’t know, maybe these candidates bring in FAT cheques with them donated to schools? then they remain here becoming resident and stealing jobs...

        Chinese youth live a more luxury lifestyle while the American counterparts are under piles of college/ university debt. It’s time we change things.

        It's a brave business leader that'd allow it's business to go under just to make a political point. And have they the right to speak on behalf of their employees who'd lose their jobs?

        Why jeopardize your Chinese income when you could just throw the progressives "Black Lives Matter" and play along with their stupid pronouns, and they will conveniently forget about Uighurs?
