As much as I dislike Facebook, this feels more part the US' general anti-Chinese bigotry than anything else. Why are Chinese companies being singled out here?
I fail to see what this can accomplish. A legislative body without the institutional will to enforce its wishes upon businesses is useless, and with the libertarian view being predominant this is nothing more than theater. It doesn’t apparently even matter that corporations — Facebook in this case — are profiting on the backs of American citizens.<p>But a profit was made, therefore the ruling capitalist class will excuse and justify it.
