Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Good. China should also retaliate and start forcing American companies in China to hand over ownership
Seize the Tesla factory lmao
do it xi no balls you won't
Overheard in The Great Hall of the People after the Hexbear post: “They got me,” Xi said of Hexbear's dunk on him. "That fucking Hexbear boomed me." Xi added, “They're so good at posting,” repeating it four times. Xi then said he wanted to add Hexbear to the list of liberal revisionists he dislikes this summer.
edit: need a better joke for the last sentence
Luckily for us the PRC isn't as easy to manipulate as marty mcfly in back to the future (oh you called me chicken? Guess I'll do whatever you want me to do now). They ain't taking the bait.
They already do....
Almost everything foreign in China is 51% state owned. McDonald's franchises, Costcos, Gucci stores, etc.
Those places entered into China while agreeing to those restrictions. That’s different than the US allowing foreign investment then rugpulling it and stealing the Chinese owned portion of a business after the fact.
In order to retaliate, China needs to seize or steal American capital.
In addition to that:
so effectively half of bytedance is owned by westoids anyway
Might depend on whether that 60% has voting rights.
CPC has something called a golden share in a lot of companies. It's a 1% equity stake that allows for overruling voting power in certain elections
We've gotta pump those numbers up
