What kind of dumbass country builds a bioweapon lab for the CCP? Maybe the stupidest thing ive seen in this whole fiasco

[WTF11]

Sorry don't include me as I rather buy Australian made but I have no option anymore. FFS even call centers for us are either Indian or Phillipines.

You use a mobile phone? Where dobyou think most of the components come from, even if it wasnt assembled in China? Same for ANY computing equipment, no matter what it says on the badge. If like me you were to ride a Harley, all the shiny bits now come from China. Where do you buy your clothes? Check the labels, i doubt most say "Made in Australia". You cant buy what isnt for sale and most things (including the services you mention), arent made or sold by companies based in the country that we would call home (whichever country that may be), as most of us (still), arent Chinese.

Like I said I do not have a choice but I would rather buy local but our governments have made sure I cant buy local cause they have sold everything.
Do you think I like talking to an Indian or Filipino when say I have an internet problem? A I can't understand them and B they can't understand my problem cause they just read scripts.
Like I said everything is sold and moved overseas there is no such thing as local products. You know the funny thing is our governments bring out BS like please support local business and by local so go figure.

Let's go back to Football.
If Leeds had 2 top team's one full english and British players and the other made by an all foreigner team eg like most of the premiership now days. Which team would you have most satisfaction in watching and supporting.
The whole world is a mess and yes we made it that way and let it go that way by not standing up and fighting for local jobs business so on and dirty politicians have taken advantage and in this case wages been paid by the chinese.
I just feel so sorry for the next gen comming up.

Since 2013,Saint Nazaire Port (France) has undertaken numerous commercial actions in Asia, with a view to developing new flows of containers and to attracting investors to the Loire Estuary, in the areas of energy, industry and agri-foodstuffs. Forged over the long term with Chinese companies, at the start of 2016 these relations successfully secured export container shipping traffic of meat product consignments representing around 1 000 TEUs per year. (TEU = 20 foot container).Now in 2020 that figure has gone through the roof.

Saint Nazaire Port continued with this substantive approach of 2016 working alongside the Port of Bordeaux, the Port Authority organised the first Atlantic Ports Forum, entitled "One Belt, One Road", in Qingdao, in the Province of Shandong China on the Yellow Sea near S.Korea.This commercial event was attended by 230 Chinese companies, including shipowners, shippers, and logistics providers interested in new business opportunities linking France and China. Every March two Chinese delegations composed of potential investors are welcomed to the French Loire Estuary/region with open arms........

I live 30 minutes from St Nazaire port and Nantes port (both famous old strategic French ports) ............. many business within the area I assist along with the many employees who work on the cargo lines logistics & cruise boat refits.Companies and workers coming from as far away as Hungary,Poland,Russia,Bulgaria and beyond all working on long term contracts may I add are in the area.

Airbus aviation is another massive employer in St Nazaire who sell globally their aircraft & technical equipment around the world - they also have a massive deal with China aviation to supply aircraft.

Recently new expensive yachts are now being built for the corporate sector and super rich,all very high tec with fancy computer controlled automatic sails working in tandem with refined Eco engines that are destined predominantly for Russia oligarch & USA money market corps.

Sadly I've seen no trade from Britain covering any of the above sectors.

On the other hand sadly I read that the Uk Naval fleet now has ageing boats badly in need of modernisation with no money to do it. https://www.savetheroyalnavy.org/mai...navy-mount-up/
Cannot see situations changing ............. Oz.

But I do source my seafood locally direct from the beach - but even then the waters are sadly filled with floating plastic discarded via global pollution.

I also try to drive cars made of European or USA origin and attending many classic car/truck/bike rallies is a real eye opener to how many vehicle manufactures no longer exist particularly British firms let alone French or American - but hey ho hopefully the 'young 'un's ' will have better answers to global problems.

Really don’t know how you fit everything into your life.
Are you sure there’s only one of you.?

Easy Billy - I was taught that productive people know well that they do not need 40 tasks in their to-do list.

I only take on 'a less-is-more approach' when it comes to planning my work day and only accomplishing those tasks that are important.For me that means I usually work through the night,take only 5 hours sleep,have a great understanding family with a terrific husband.

Balance that with 4 kids aged 16 (twins) 28 and 32,our shared hobbies and interests generally create harmony BUT we do have our 'moments' and yes Mum is always right in our household over any 'disagreement moments'.

Apparently it's a Leeds thing,Marching on TOGETHER !
