In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I remember one of them basically telling me that there was no oppression in Tibet or Xinjiang.China should be under economic embargo by pretty much everyone.
Although morally it would be the right thing to do, I couldn't fathom the economic consequences of such a thing.
What has Hong Kong to do with Chinese oppression of the Uighars? That province is a closed area as everyone knows. No foreigners can freely go there. Hong Kong is free than most countries in the west. At least so far.
That only works against smaller countries that bigger countries can bully. US can't play that game against China.
feck the economy tbh. I dont feel very reasonable or patient these days
So should the oil nations in the ME.
Or we could just stop selling them guns. Frankly half of Europe should be under economic blockade. Economic blockades for ALL!!!
If your goal was to miss the point, then you did brilliantly.
We? (You're in Dublin)

I'm lumping the west together for ease of sweeping generalisation.
I hate that sweeping generalisation.
Eh, part of the importance of the TPP (and other multilateral trade deals like TTIP) was that it could reduce the influence of China's importance in trade and production. Unfortunately, some moron decided multilateral trade agreements are bad. The US could've increased economic pressure on China with the TPP by tightening relationships with other regional trading partners and benefitting our mutual economies, rather than starting an idiotic trade war with no concrete, achievable objectives.
The TPP has been heavily criticized for being bad for workers in the US.
