On this day,🕯️#May35th #1989🕯️, when absolutely nothing happened in #TianAnMen and the #Chinese subjects under #CCP rule aren't allowed to know or even think about it, it's worth remembering that the #dictatorship was still *completely* dependent on technology and investment from #democracies around the world to reach some semblance of *material* modernity.
A powerful, arrogant and belligerent dictatorship wasn't an inevitability.
It was made possible by countless bankers and industrialists from developed democracies...
Indeed, soon after that totally uneventful early June weekend in 1989, foreign trade delegations were tripping over each other to kowtow the never-elected CCP despots who've never even harmed a fly or small four-legged mammals, let alone peaceful and defenseless civilians merely asking for civil rights and representation.
As a conscientious individual I will do my best to steer clear of any brand or company empowering #despotism. #PRC #china and #russia want to crush liberal democracy worldwide so why on earth would I help fund that??
