    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.
