      Both are shit. But domestic ones can be held responsible for the shit they produced.
      Try that with foreign ones. Especially chinese or russians. They will tell you to fuck off or change their names and join the bidding war under a different contractor name.

          You can dislike companies incorporated with certain countries legal systems without any consideration for race.

          Russians and Chinese companies can be multi racial and still use their government’s and provided legal structures as shields for fraud in other countries shrug

          • I think the bigger criminals on the global stage in terms of lives impacted are the western companies that hide behind their governments and provided legal structure.

            There is no reason to think that a chinese or russian foreign contractor would do a worse job than any other contractor simply because they’re russian or chinese, other than racism.

          Who else does global projects (on the scale of China) and gives you the middle finger if any disputes come up?
          I hear of that way often about China or Russia than the US.

          Example for Russia (can’t link to the header):
          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCP_Foundation -> Legal disputes -> Trademark disputes

          So…no. Just experiences on what I read about online and in newspapers.
          It’s just that my western media highlights those disputes more prominent than not.

          Can you give me examples on countries that like to do the same in the west?
          Example: Japan contractors fucking with China and giving them the bird when it goes to shit.

          PS:
          It’s xenophobic, not racist.

            I’d mention KTM, but I wouldn’t be shocked if you were also racist against Indians so how about ExxonMobil poisoning the living shit out of various South American countries and literally having people suing them thrown in prison?

              Honestly: Fuck off with your own prejudices if you want to correct mine.

              Now to your example: Mentioning the US is cheating. :p
              They are equally as bad.

                We wouldn’t want to be prejudiced against racists by assuming they’re racist against other groups would we.

                Now to your example: Mentioning the US is cheating. :p

                OK, Nestle. BP. Bayer.

                  Yep agreed. Fuck Nestle especially. And BP.
                  I have notging special with Bayer. But being pharma is already bad.

                    The point of this is to get you to examine why, while you are aware Europe-based companies also scam/cheat/steal, and have the wealth disparity between Europe and the global south to prove it, your instinct is that this is generally a Chinese or Russian phenomenon.

                    Btw, Bayer owns Monsanto and sells poisons illegal in Europe to the developing world, which cause all sorts of cancers in farmers and kill rainforest. I can also jusr direct you to literally every europe-based logging, mining, or other extractive industry that relies on the global south.

          • No you allege that this is something russian and chinese companies do, as in them being russian or chinese makes them somehow shiftier. There is no reason to bring the nation of certain companies into this if you don’t think that russian or chinese people are more prone to this sort of behavior. That’s racist.
