The remarks by China’s top diplomat on Friday (Mar 7) come as the United States under Donald Trump trots out expansionist rhetoric.

    I’ve noticed an uptik of pro Chinese propaganda content here on lemmy in recent days. I am afraid the fediverse had been discovered.

            Fortunately, there are other countries as well.

            Their social cohesion is due to threatening or straight up genociding any incohesive social groups.

            A single party state where you get sent to the gulag for public opposition to the government sounds like a great society!

            And plastic consumerism is just as applicable to China as the US. Perhaps even more.

                You know what you’re getting? What does this even mean?

                There is a lot to criticise about the US, there is no point in coming with some hysterical BS, if anything your approach ignores and plays down the very real issues with American society.

                I am honestly surprised that you were able to get me to defend the US.

                P.S. We both know that if you went to the US, you would go to the tourist parts of NYC or LA and it would be a pretty run of the mill tourist trip.

            Uh… how about neither then? False dilemma argument.

    So does that mean they’re going to drop the South China sea thing and leave Taiwan be? Stop trying to push other nations around? Or are they going to stay organ harvesting, genocidal hypocrits? I know which one I’m betting on

      Unlike the US, China hasn’t been declaring war every week for two centuries.

      Instead, the belt and road initiative is what neolibs think USAID is.

        I guess the border clashes with India where you want to take their land aren’t happening.

        That your explicit, logistical and tactical support for Russia aggression against Ukraine isn’t happening.

        I also guess you’ve never commited genocide against the Uyghurs.

          Nor Tibet, Nor Taiwan, Nor Hong Kong - China may not be as willing to engage in intercontinental wars but it absolutely does use force or the threat of force to bully neighbors. Anyone denying Chinese aggression hasn’t been watching the South China Sea.

        belt and road initiative

        This is a neo-colonists project. USAID actually did a lot of good things. I dare you to show an example of Chinese foreign aid that did the good things that USAID did.

        Belt and road very likely passing through Syunik, Armenia, and in that project most likely devised as area occupied by Azerbaijan in near future, right? And before that passing through Artsakh, which is already occupied by Azerbaijan and ethnically cleansed. F-ck, they’ve even demolished a prehistoric megalith because they can’t tell the difference between that and something Armenian.

        Not being too assertive, just - this particular part concerns my family and part of my heritage, so there’s need to mention it.

        Anyway, China still occupies Tibet. And - you don’t need to make war if you can just buy aboriginal elites, like in Central Asian countries, and some sub-Saharan African ones.
