    China has no fucking leg to stand on.

    Anyone who can’t see the hypocrisy, then you are just like the idiots that voted for Trump.

      To be honest right now China has more legs than the US. The US has been on the wrong side of history for way too long.

        I’m not saying US good, China bad.

        I’m saying you have to be pretty dumb to think China has any business talking shit about anyone.

        It is this kind of bullshit that got Trump elected.

        Y’all are either a bunch of trolls, paid propagandists, or just really dumb.

          I am not sure I understand your point. I am not a huge fan of China but the US hit rock bottom for me.

          And mind you here the US is the one who is talking shit about other countries all the time, not China. So yes, I have no sympathy for a country electing an obviously senile person and turning this senile person into a cult.

            I think the previous user is speaking out of emotion more than logic, but I would say they are correct at least about the hypocrisy. China has been supplying Russia with arms and intelligence all throughout their invasion of Ukraine.

            On its surface I think the statement in this article is good but I can’t help but wonder if the underlying meaning is that China just doesn’t want to be left out of the conversation, since they have basically been doing for Russia what the US was doing for Ukraine.

            I am definitely not going to argue against the U.S. being a turd bucket.

            I’m just saying China is the pot calling the kettle black.

            For the next four years, absolutely keep us at arms length and don’t trust us.

            China has been untrustworthy for decades and has zero impetus for change.

          I have a feeling this entire platform is littered with them. It’s just like reddit.

      Yeah they do. I’m just saying it as I see it. They’ve been a solid economic partner for years and haven’t started any aggression on the world stage my entire life. You’re really rather do business with the US than China right now? What exactly have you got except the same tired old prejudices?

          Of the three superpowers, that’s massively less aggressive than the others. By like, many orders is magnitude.

        Right…Not like China is planning to invade its neighbor Taiwan or anything.

        The Philippines might want a word with you. Tell them they’ve done nothing aggressive on the world stage your entire life. Were you born yesterday? Even if you were it wouldn’t change the fact that even yesterday they were making aggressive moves toward them in their own territorial waters.

        How is this whataboutism? You just picked some random buzzword to come back at me?

        Man I thought Lemmy would be different but there is no real dialogue, just garbage vomited into comments
