I feel like the problem with bail is that you have to actually come up with the money. Can’t they get the same effect with just the promise of a fine?
So like you say… “Ok… You’re released pending trial, but if you skip out and run, you’re going to have a fine added that’s equal to $10,000 or 50% of your net wealth, whichever is cheaper”…
That’s all bail is really doing. Bail just forces people to come up with the money in advance and this creates an inequity. If it’s just a fine for if you don’t show up at trial or something, you no longer have that problem.
If they skip town, you can make the fine as big as you want, you’re still not going to be able to collect it. They’re already gone. That’s why bail is money up front.

Ambassador Xie Feng criticized U.S. curbs on the sale of microchips and chipmaking equipment to China that were imposed last year by the Biden administration. Beijing has described the measure as part of an effort to “contain” China.
“China does not shy away from competition, but the definition of competition by the U.S. side I think is not fair,” Xie said Wednesday at the Aspen Security Forum, a security and foreign policy conference in Aspen, Colorado. “The United States is trying to win by keeping China out,” he said, referring to measures to curb U.S. technology sales to Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei over security concerns.

China earlier this month imposed export curbs on two key metals used in computer chips and solar cells, a measure widely seen as retaliation for the U.S. restrictions on microchips. Earlier this year, Beijing restricted sales of products from Micron Inc., the biggest U.S. producer of memory chips.
Bullshit. They want all the money and power, and are simply pissed that their monopoly has been fractured. If Xi hadn’t decided that world domination was a goal for China the nation wouldn’t be in the dire straights it is now.
why does the internet always get the truth so wrong?
I love how this is framed like it’s the fault of the internet, and not just people being people. The same conversations being had on Twitter and the like are also generally being had face to face by regular, everyday people.
