      This is what happens when instead of material analysis you default to mainstream media to be honest about its geopolitical enemies.

      No one is saying we’ll like it if China does bad shit in other countries, but they haven’t invaded anywhere in decades even when provoked. Meanwhile the US bombs a few countries a year, and launches a full on invasion every few years, not to mention the unilateral illegal sanctions they impose which kill over half a million people every year. When China does nearly a tiny fraction of that we can talk. In the meantime you’re just repeating western propaganda. China develops our countries, the US coups or invades them.

      Their first emperor is a fucking dragon.

      Your first president is an ungrateful British colonist.

      IDK, maybe because they got like 800 million people out of poverty in ~40 years? Meanwhile, the USA just accepted 50 years ago that 10-15% of their population will be poor regardless of being the richest country by GDP in the world since before then.

      Maybe.

      If you think China is worse than the US, you’re just admitting you don’t think the lives of non-Westerners matter.
