This is a situation where I would totally support Muslims doing the whole "fuck you, you aren't Muslim or Christian* so we don't have to honor our agreements with you" thing and kicking the Chinese out.
The UAE has also been a US ally for a very long time.
* If you read the Qur'an and understand Islam you'll notice that Jesus and Mary are important to them.
Well, guess I'll be adding Marriot to business I won't support.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
Another company bites it.
No need to worry. Peng Shuai is apparently just fine! She even recanted her statement in a video phone call with the IOC and under the protective supervision of friendly party officials to make sure she remains safe.

For some reason the Women's Tennis Association is still freaking out over this, but it must be that time of the month or something.
Olympics: Don’t Promote Chinese State Propaganda
The International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) collaboration with Chinese authorities on tennis star Peng Shuai’s reappearance undermines its expressed commitment to human rights, including the rights and safety of athletes, Human Rights Watch said today.

Women's Tennis having bigger balls when confronting the CCP than the NBA is a gloriously ironic turn of events.
The Middle Kingdom has banned a song by a Malaysian hip hop artist named 'Namewee' (but also featuring Kimberly Chen) who created a viral song titled "Fragile." Both singers are Chinese ethnicity (via Malaysian) though Kimberly was born in Australia (and both have or currently live in Taiwan).
The song 'Fragile' mocks China and the so-called "Little Pinks" who are the young nationalists and other people who continually defend China from critics on the internet. The song also references China's relationship with Taiwan and the ongoing genocide in Xinjiang as well as the Great Firewall of China, their eating of bats and other topics. While banned in China, the song is reportedly quite popular in Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
I posted the music video below but please be cautious if you are a fragile pink.

same problem our government has with viral stuff control freaks hate when things are not under their absolute control.
Biden Administration invited Taiwan to a virtual Democracy Summit taking place next month. West Taiwan condemned the action yadda yadda.

Biden invites Taiwan to upcoming ‘Summit for Democracy’
China says it ‘firmly opposes’ the invitation of Taiwan, which Beijing views as its own territory.
So this is interesting; the same event is also being reported as a protest against lockdowns over the Wu Flu.
I mean I guess it could be both.
Either way, it looks like Iron Bottom Sound might end up with new hulls decorating it's depths if this becomes a flashpoint between the CCP and the west, as the Aussie's have already sent troops in.
Though with how the AZ gov has been acting lately, I'm not sure they are all that much better than the CCP.
That it has reached the point, where that is the best thing we can say about the AZ gov, is frightening on so many levels.
So many horrors and abuses of power have been excused by 'at least they aren't commies'; seeing one of the 5 Eye's hit that point is...not at all comforting.
Don't get me wrong, I still have more respect of Aussie's as a people and nation than I ever could for the CCP, but the current Aussie gov is doing a good N. Korea impression these days with their virus/vax measures.
That's fair.
Though I would point out the CCP are kinda commies in name only; 'Han supremacist with state-capitalist tendencies' is probably a more accurate label for what Xi and co are trying to do.
their political class at this point needs to be removed from power whole sale and ideally exiled from the country.

...Is the state in control of the means of production? If yes: Commie/Socialist, if no, then no.
It is not that simple with the CCP, and that's part of why we've kept falling behind the curve on the CCP..
They have companies which have gov backing, but are still for-profit private entities on paper, and have too much private enterprise to be old school commies.
The more you look at what the CCP does, the less it seems a 'normal' commie state, and the more it seems a Han supremacist regime that uses both capitalistic and socialist polices to advance itself.
