The company’s decision to award the construction of four new vessels to a Chinese state-owned shipyard has sparked fierce condemnation from political leaders and union representatives.
China has a record of human rights and environmental abuses, I don’t think wanting to use an ally who respects all of their people and pays them fairly is conservative racism…
I would see this more like that if Rustad actually presented environmental and human rights as the reasoning behind his preference, but we actually know that it a combination of racism and just run of the mill anti-China (from red-scare) because it’s Rustad. He never showed signs of caring about China’s emissions or Uyghurs or anything else that might actually be valid criticism.

Oh yeah, Poland, bastion of human rights, treat their gay folks soooo well…
Yes, I know China also hates us queers, but dont act like it’s about human rights if one of the countries on the list also criminalizes our existence.
