    like every company, they're required to follow chinese laws when doing
    business in china.

    Microsoft is shutting down its social network, LinkedIn, in China,
    saying having to comply with the Chinese state has become
    increasingly challenging.

    We're all supposed to ignore that because Woke Jimbo thinks it's cool to
    hate on Big, Bad Apple.

    So what?

    When I go into a Japanese household, I take off my shoes. When I went to
    a Jewish funeral, I put on a yarmulke. When I went to a Hindu client's
    house for dinner, I didn't ask to be served beef...

    Yep. As the saying goes: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do": When
    visiting a foreign land, follow the customs of those who live in it. <https://www.dictionary.com/browse/when-in-rome--do-as-the-romans-do>

    So, when visiting America, does that mean you have to grab the free gun
    from your breakfast cornflakes packet and go on a shooting rampage. ;-)

    American bigotry on all fronts. In the left hand the bible and in the
    right the assault rifle.
