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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

The author was all "China doesn't buy anything from these companies anyways" but I'm more curious what these companies buy from China. How much Chinese steel makes it into these planes and guns and missiles? How much copper, how many chipsets?
China really should pull a US on em by refusing to do business with anyone who does business with these weapons manufacturers. Force the corpos to determine what hurts their pockets more: losing business from defense contractors OR losing the Chinese market and significant portions of their supply chains
Fuck it, full Cuba-style embargo: any ship that docks in an American harbour can't dock in any Chinese harbour for 18 months.
Nah let China continue developing using American capital, then pull the rug once BRICS is fully self-sufficient and get the entire global south on board with doing the same. THEN go Cuba style
