AG Barr further builds the Trump administration’s public case against China in a speech focused on American businesses “Hollywood now regularly censors its own movies to appease the Chinese Communist Party, the world’s most powerful violator of human rights” @CBSNews https://t.co/0rcVgY7K0h

Yep, if there’s anything Trump won’t abide it’s censorship and infringement of fundamental rights. https://t.co/Apt0GV3F0y

Scathing. Too long, but looks like US is finally waking up to CCP. The Hollywood domination of the Chinese made the most interesting part for me https://t.co/yWAVy8F4om

AG Bill Barr just destroyed Apple, Hollywood, Disney and all big tech companies over their relationship with communist China.

That was brutal.

You know he's kind of a duffus but then he goes further:

"Barr suggested that Apple iPhones “wouldn’t be sold (in China) if they were impervious to penetration by Chinese authorities.”

He should stay in a lane he actually understands...whatever that is.https://t.co/sl1o9oXPp7

Ah this again. Apple has said multiple times on the record that there's no exceptions made for China https://t.co/Zmi95kmYSi

> Barr suggested that Apple iPhones “wouldn’t be sold (in China) if they were impervious to penetration by Chinese authorities.” He suggested American tech companies were imposing a “double standard.”

This is a very, very, very serious accusation!https://t.co/qMrfHivEvu

Barr "also hinted at the possibility that American business leaders who advocate for the party’s political interests at its behest could face prosecution under the Foreign Agents Registration Act" https://t.co/2HX77mNTi0

.@TheJusticeDept and AG Barr shared today in the starkest of terms what the #CCP poses in terms of global ambitions and threats to America and many others. I’ve been adamant about what they’re trying to do and will always put America first. #Freedom https://t.co/wI7FblMlOK

"The CCP thinks in terms of decades and centuries, while we tend to focus on the next quarterly earnings report." Try as I might, in all my research on time horizons, I never found any evidence to support this cliche about Chinese time horizons. https://t.co/tWnNfVxjG7

"The ultimate ambition of China’s rulers isn’t to trade with the United States. It is to raid the United States. If you are an American business leader, appeasing the PRC may bring short-term rewards. But in the end, the PRC’s goal is to replace you." https://t.co/OFrIuYL9wx

AG Barr: The CCP “thinks in terms of decades and centuries” while we focus on “quarterly earnings.” I disagree.

Beijing’s recent actions are short sighted and self-defeating. Democracies, despite our flaws, are capable of lasting success. Don’t forget it.https://t.co/tPglpx9vFx

バー司法長官の演説。オブライアン、レイFBI長官に続く中国もの。次のポンペオ国務長官で中締め。
