He signed a secret agreement to help develop China's technology [1], lobbied against a bill aimed at stopping forced labor in China [2], and blocked the Hong Kong protest app [3], the New York Times app [4], and many others [5] in China.

This is less than negligible.

  • Apparently it still wasn't enough to have Xi tell his boy Trump that Cook doesn't need to waste time licking the boot.

unrelated, but god do I hate this site's layout. incredibly distracting pitch black off-balance header.

  • The ICE folks had enough guns of their own. And trumps party has spent decades making sure that people can open carry weapons. Bit of a conundrum, eh?

  • More likely he was curious and didn't understand the vitriolic nature of the interactions. Kinda like a drunken Irishman stumbling into a bar fight in Istanbul.

    FWIW ICE agents will probably face charges for what happened to Pretti, so cool off on that.

    I don't think criticizing anyone for what they did before/after a particular event that they were not a party to is justifiable. Let's give everyone, including Cook, the right to free choice in use of their own time.
