This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

The company being sanctioned violating sanctions is a headline I didn't expect to read. Usually it would be a company that is supposed to follow sanctions that would violate them. The sanctioned company would already be violating the sanctions by being the sanctioned company.

Apparently, the problem is that US technology is present throughout SMIC operations; that, existing rules demand that companies that rely on US technology exports must seek prior consent before exchanging products that contain said technologies.

Regardless, it's a moot point. It's blatantly clear that the US is trying to suppress Chinese technological growth, so there's no long-term incentive to play by the US' rule.
