Chinese shipyards have solidified their dominance in the construction of containerships, commanding an impressive 68.5% of the global boxship orderbook capacity, according to Alphaliner.
When will we realize the cheap goods arenât worth cozying up with the likes of a country like this? Keep in mind, this is how they treat their own citizens, how much more when theyâre in a position of power over othersâŚ
Yes keeping people in detention is bad.
Imaging what can be done against people in detention without trial if a country can hold power over people from other countries:
I answered to this question with an example of what can happen.
Who is a terrorist is decided in a court of law.
âOne personâs terrorist is another personâs freedom fighterâ.
I think it is bad to lock up people for political reasons, or for extensive times without proper trial, no matter who do so, or with whatever excuse it is done.
That doesnât make you a âterroristâ. Only a Court of Law can convict somebody of terrorism. Until such time you are considered to be an accused and to be considered as innocent in accordance with English Common Law.
Like I said; One manâs âterroristâ is another manâs âfreedom fighterâ and v.v.
No nation has a right to hold anybody in indefinite detention without trial according to UN Charter, International law, Treaties and commonly accepted norms.
If you suspect that somebody has committed terrorism, put them before a the International Criminal Court, or at least an independent court of law in the country where the suspect is held.
Organizations arenât âa terroristâ and being on âa listâ isnât a conviction.
Only a person (or persons) convicted of terrorism is âa terroristâ by the law.
This apply in China as much as in any other country.
That Governments and public opinion call a group (or a person) âterroristâ doesnât prove that they are. Others may call them âfreedom fightersâ.
There are numerous examples of this, both in history (Resistance fighters in occupied Europe were âterroristsâ to the Germans, âFreedom Fightersâ to the Allies and âHeroesâ after WWII) and in present days.
Well. Could be true if there were no hegemons who does not give a hoot about court rulings if You examine link above.
My Gov was put between a devil and a deep blue see as it had to decide or otherwise choose between two evils , meaning :
To arrest BIBI thus complying with the court ruling or please Pumpkin man.
Needless to say they ridiculed themselves proving the court rulings are a worthless mumbo jumbo.

A bit like Norway giving aid to the Tamil tigers in Sri Lanka, while the rest of the world said they are funding terrorism
Not sure how to get China into that conversation
Are you referring to the Norwegian attempt at mediating between the Tamil Tigers and the Sri Lankan Government?:
Mediating between tigers and lions: Norwegian peace diplomacy in Sri Lankaâs civil war https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09584930902870792
Or the more recent Norwegian contribution towards integration of former Tamil Tiger fighter in the Sri Lankan society?:
Are you sure your Sri Lankan friends are not Sinhalese (74%) or Muslim Tamils (7%)?
PS> Norwayâs involvement in Sri Lanka was much before 2014 (1988-2008)
This is getting far from âUnderstanding Chinaâ. If you want to debate Sri Lanka or Zimbabwe we could start another thread.
That is what âgreat powersâ do and has always done. Why should China be an exception?
