To even remotely suggest that china is some sort of victim is hilarious, but ml gonna do tankie shit.
Seriously, the USA has its issues, but prior to trump, world stability was something that the USA was known for, because it projected our soft power via backing the USD. It’s why the world is quite pissed that the turnip is being a fucking idiot. China is not that way at all. They want to conquer countries, only reason they haven’t is because their land neighbors have nukes and they have a shit navy that’s crap for invasions.
I mean China can absolutely be a victim of US foreign policy and still be an aggressor to other parts of the world.
Is your understanding of foreign policy really so limited?
You know something that China doesn’t do that the United States does? Periodically bomb Sovereign states For no reason.
Definitely inspiring stability throughout the Middle East and Latin America.
They’re a victim of what? Exploiting their citizens? Stealing IP from other nations?
No I’m just not a CCP bootlicker who thinks that China/russia/NK is better and more free than the USA is.
Because they can’t… it’s why they’re supplying russia with shit in Ukraine.
The middle east is and always has been a mess. Russia tried it before the USA did and china hasn’t been a world power long enough to give it a go. We should have never be involved with the middle east, but you’re defending china like they’re victims of big bad westernism. The difference between you and I is I don’t use whataboutism to defend nations that do fucked up shit.
I mean these answers are peak.
None of its correct but I think this is a wonderful example of NATO bullshitism.
Imagine talking so much shit about foreign policy not knowing about all of the US sanctions and tariffs that are put on China so that they are put at a disadvantage compared to the US economy.
This is literally written down in both the Biden administrations foreign policy and in Trump admin foreign policy. It’s literally why the US lost a trillion dollars in the economy when deepseek dropped. It’s why the US doesn’t have BYD Chinese cars even though they’re objectively better than anything in the West.
Oh and I love the bit that China’s exploiting their citizens when the United States it’s supposedly one of the richest countries in the world yet we can’t afford Universal Health Care or Universal education both which China has. Apparently Chinese citizens also have a right to shelter and a place to call home. In the US you’re free to die if you can’t afford anything. We have had people literally die from rationing insulin which was supposed to be a medication in the public domain. When Chinese citizens and Americans started connecting on red note Chinese people literally couldn’t believe what they were hearing about the American Medical system. They thought it was Chinese propaganda. they struggle to believe that Americans would just accept those Health costs and encouraged us to revolt. That is how fucked the US citizen is.
And your lack of knowledge about why the Middle East is such a cluster fuck is so apparent. Someone doesn’t know what the US was up to in the 70s.
It’s also really fun to watch you accuse me of whataboutism and then use the fallacy yourself to try and defend the US actions in the middle east using the USSR as an example.
I love the implication that you think China can’t produce enough Munitions to compete with the US. It’s incredibly cute of you to underestimate the Chinese economy.
I’m not defending China. I’m comparing it to the US. I wonder why that’s so offensive.
