Investigations by nonprofit news outlet ProPublica have found links between Chinese diplomats, Chinese Communist Party-affiliated organizations, local Chinese criminal syndicates and some marijuana operations in the United States.

In the operations reported on in this story, NPR found no signs of Chinese state or Asian organized crime involvement. The businesses did attract small-scale, individual investors from China who were eager to invest abroad.

      The US, has a history of slavery.

      China has a history of suicide prevention nets, docking pay for not finishing your lunch, millions of undocumented illegal migrant workers, houses full of camgirls “because they’re young and need to be controlled”, closed apartment complexes with thousands of catfishing “remote workers”, and so on. AKA: outsourced slavery.

      But you’re right, it’s the capitalist way.
