“How do you justify having ships built over there?” he asked. “We should be looking to our traditional allies—Norway, Germany, Poland—places where we’ve had ships built before,” Rustad said.

Ah that's the conservative racism poking out

China has a record of human rights and environmental abuses, I don't think wanting to use an ally who respects all of their people and pays them fairly is conservative racism...

Yes, I know China also hates us queers, but dont act like it's about human rights if one of the countries on the list also criminalizes our existence.
