i think there's this opportunity here for tech workers where trans solidarity between chinese and american tech workers can really be one of these mechanisms to craft a bottom up narrative for workers on both sides. I found an interview in c m b c with the founder of hawe, runjung fa, where he discussed his company's response after being put on this us. Entity list,. And he effectively said that hawe must use this ment of us. Aggression to prevent employees from slacking off. And so there's this attack on workers on both side stemming from nationalist rhetoric.
