韩东方对中国劳动法倒背如流，他会提醒中国官方工会的官员：他们有责任保护工人权利。
对话可能很激烈，因为官员往往对违反劳工权利行为睁只眼闭只眼。
“打电话的时候，我们说，‘法律是这么规定的，’”韩东方说。“有时候他们会说，‘如果真守法，中国所有的工厂都得关门。’”

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.

And they’re right.

@OxIRandHistory I think Harris ran a competent campaign - but clearly competent wasn't enough. Running on a programme of "I'm not Trump and I have Liz Cheney to prove it" doesn't really swing the needle for a lot of voters concerned about the economy. Unfortunately the Dems don't have a FDR...

Sooooo maybe appealing to right-wing discourse isn't so sensible after all...
