歐布萊恩日前才列舉出幾個例子。萬豪(Marriott)、美國航空(American Airlines)、達美航空(Delta Air Lines)和聯合航空(United Airlines),全都刪除了他們網站上關於台灣的內容,以免激怒北京。離這裡不遠的好萊塢,是美國人創意自由的中心,自詡為社會正義仲裁者,但就算電影內容只是對中國稍微不友善,他們也會自我審查。
This corporate acquiescence to the CCP happens all over the world, too. And how has this corporate fealty worked? Is its flattery rewarded? I’ll give you a quote from the speech that General Barr gave, Attorney General Barr. In a speech last week, he said that “The ultimate ambition of China’s rulers isn’t to trade with the United States. It is to raid the United States.” China ripped off our prized intellectual property and trade secrets, causing millions of jobs all across America. It sucked supply chains away from America, and then added a widget made of slave labor. It made the world’s key waterways less safe for international commerce.
這種對中共的默許也發生在世界各地。企業如此效忠是怎發生的?奉承中共又會有什麼樣的回報?我引述一段司法部長巴爾的演說內容。他在上週的演講中表示,中國統治者的終極目標並非和美國做生意,而是要襲擊美國。中國掠奪我們珍貴的智慧財產權與商業機密,讓全美各地搶走了數百萬個就業機會。中國把供應鏈從美國吸走,推出由奴役勞工製成的各種零部件。中國也讓國際商業必經的主要航道更不安全。
