It is amazing US Congress can pass an act without listing any verifiable evidence. This is democracy!
Of course, it would be easier to verify if the PRC was an open society...

...there's so much smoke here it's not even a question of whether there's fire. China has an abysmal human rights record and if anything is only getting worse. The army of astroturfers tasked with muddying the waters will not make this go away.
The collective evidence is overwhelming that the PRC is engaged in widespread human rights violations,Almost 80 per cent of Tibetan children in China have been placed in a vast system of government-run boarding schools, where they are cut off from their families, languages and traditional culture, according to an analysis of official data by researchers at Tibet Action Institute.
The U.S.-based NGO found more than 800,000 Tibetan children between the ages of 6 and 18 “are now housed in these state-run institutions.”
“The colonial boarding school system in Tibet is a core element of the Chinese Communist Party’s systematic effort to co-opt, undermine, and ultimately eliminate Tibetan identity in an attempt to neutralize Tibetan resistance to Chinese rule,” the group said in a report published Tuesday.
For years, Tibetans have been sounding the alarm over what they see as assimilationist policies from Beijing. Scholars agree that the implementation of such policies escalated in the wake of large-scale unrest in parts of Tibet in 2008 and the coming to power of Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2012. Spiking repression in Tibet has coincided with a crackdown in China’s neighbouring Xinjiang region in recent years, which has seen an estimated two million ethnic Uyghurs pass through a system of “re-education” or “de-radicalization” camps.
....Actually, all the prevailing evidence for the past couple hundred years points to the U.S. being the leader in genocide, racism, imperialism, human rights violations and pursuit of world dominance -- and it is bordering on the cliff of becoming an autocracy.But some prefer propaganda & accusations to truth and evidence if it supports their agenda.
Yet, here you are advocating for autocracy, by advocating for the PRC.
Did you not consider this whole anti-China propaganda piece was a diversion? In fact, now look at history again; perhaps we didn’t stop the Germans (twice), the Japanese, the Soviets and the Muslims, instead history categorically shows they all failed to stop us. -

Apple chief says Apple Business Essentials doesn't compete with Jamf

I never got why Apple didn’t just release an iCloud version of macOS Server so businesses could self-manage. It’ll be interesting to see how far they’ve taken this away from the Novell Netware design paradigm. Either way it should be better than Office365 which requires either PowerShell knowledge or vendor engagement - it isn’t a small business solution.That's not to say Apple couldn't or shouldn't do this, and likely do it very well. But let's not make Profile Manager the bar, let's set it a bit higher than that.
