BBC:
US Attorney General William Barr has accused Hollywood and US tech firms of "collaborating" with the Chinese government to do business there.
Companies like Disney routinely agreed to censor films while Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Apple were "all too willing" to work with Beijing, he said.
Such actions risked undermining the liberal world order, Mr Barr added.
His intervention is the latest criticism of China by White House and other US officials.
Tensions between the US and China have been rising over a host of issues. The US this week removed Hong Kong's preferential trade status, after China brought in a controversial new security law for the territory.
Does working with China mean freedoms are undermined elsewhere?

When I read that Barr is defending the liberal world order, what exactly am I supposed to believe? From whose butt are the monkeys flying?

That's what makes it so strange to hear Barr using the word. When the votes are counted, liberalism is statistically invisible in the political scene

Nobody should be in a concentration camp because of their ethnicity while 26,000 pounds of human hair, [cnn.com] Confucius Institutes and Tongs are domestic issues. The CCP destroyed the cultural foundations of China using Mao Zedong's "Political Correctness" which also now appears to be a domestic issue.

Whose words are those? You're still only showing media propaganda that distracts from more local issues.

Compared to the regime in Beijing, even Barr is a liberal.

Barr is a flaming fag hippy, soft on crime. We need a tough Attorney General. Can't we just add it to Jared's to-do list? He's solved the Middle East and Covid, not to mention the VA's computers and Trump's re-election campaign. All while selling his disastrous investments to the Qatari's after lending support to a blockade of them. Totally straight arrow.
