Happened 18 months ago, still bizarre tho. https://thepointsguy.com/2018/03/marriott-employee-fired-after-liking-tweet-that-offended-chinese-government/

The employee merely LIKED a tweet praising marriott for calling Tibet a country (paraphrased from article).

The employee was a social media manager. Liking tweets that are positive to marriott was probably a normal part of his job.

China complained, so marriott fired him.

Pretty fucked up

What was that about the Chinese economy being unstoppable? And the Iranian Oil Bourse that would make the dollar replaceable by the Renmenbi?

Trump broke China.
