‘Gang of thugs’

Dear Editor:

RE: Chong says he won’t be deterred by sanctions imposed by China, April 1.

First, let me congratulate Michael Chong on his gold star for free speech. Also, I am glad to see, after years of being villifed, we are finally starting to care about the Muslim people.

However, those “sanctions” will inconvenience you about as much as your sanctions will inconvenience the fascist leaders who rule China. The people will feel the brunt.

If you want to hurt China, go after the gang of thugs who are exploiting this slave labour; boycott Apple, BMW, GAP, Nike, Samsung, Sony, VW and, of course, Huawei, just to start. You point to the distinction between your sanctions and their sanctions, quite rightly; then maybe you can explain to me the distinction between the Uyghurs, and those Muslims in India, Palestine, and Yemen.

What we have here are corporate wars, using their paid-off governments to do their bidding. The  Americans have overthrown more democratic governments than any other regime in history, so why do we not sanction them?
