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?

None of those states could exist without corporations to build and sell them their weapons, and finance their campaign, even the commies couldn't it. They have to make deals too. No matter where you look the financiers own it all. You can't have a revolution or a dictatorship without adequate funding.

You could say the same of workers and slaves in such societies. That didn't make the workers and slaves supreme.

Eh, doesn't really make a difference. We're just acting out our primitive animal nature, fighting over territory like dogs
