I agree with you , but how dependent on foreign oil are we ? I was under the impression that most of the oil we use in the US comes from North America . <| sep |> I probably wasn ' t articulate enough . That visa free travel doesn ' t mean people from Ukraine can get work in Chech republic without additional permission . I mean just that . And I do think that quality of immigrants and their ability to work even from Ukraine quite dependend on those additional permissions . I . e . EU countries get to choose who they want to allow to work in their countries . Of course they get at least good . And reject all not so . There are a lot of unemployablewilling to be fully dependent on welfare in Ukraine too . <| sep |> Fine but he even talks of draconian security checks , passport checks etc . as if they ' re just normal . You can disagree if you like but he doesn ' t need to claim its normal and his blog is not political but it sure doesn ' t care about the rights and wrongs of China ' s disgusting treatment of Xinjiang people . Also . If , one day , he was forced to leave . Would he say anything then ? It ' s hard to say . But I think he ' d say nothing . He should be documenting any and all the shit he sees and be ready to tell the world one day . Not a fan . Oh , he ' s even done some stuff for CCTV . Yeah . Not only does he basically pretend that China is wonderful . He even promotes for them . He could just say no .
