    Well there sure has been enough propaganda being pumped out by China to make that bit of a positive bump.

    The Chinese government sucks and anyone who needs a reminder just look up what they did to the Uyghurs.

    Just becuase the American government also sucks it doesn’t make China’s government suck any less.

        Yeah all China did was erase their culture “re-educate them” which is some Orwellian shit and as a bonus they steralized a fuck ton of them. I am not a western lapdog but you sure are deepthoatin China’s dick ya troll!

          yea that’s what france did to my grandma and what the nordics did to the sami.

          Guess what, nobody got bombed. Comparing that to what’s happening in gaza is disguisting and wrong.

          You voted for a genocider, you stupid ass bitch. I knew people in lebannon who died a few weeks before your disguisting country’s elections. I hope you see your loved one bombed with white phosphorus so you can hear their scream as their skin’s peeling off. Piece of shit

            I am half lebanese you jackass. I didn’t vote for Trump, most of America didn’t and currently he has like 25% support.

            There were WAY TOO MANY Middle Eastern Americans that voted for Trump due to a propaganda campaign that claimed he would do better with Gaza than Kamala. You have no idea how many of them I tried to convince not to vote for Trump.

            Quit looking at Americans as one single individual.

          China had a problem with violent Muslim extremism in Xinjiang 25-40 years ago.

          China started reeducation camps for them.

          The US has spent decades bombing and murdering Muslims creating more extremists.

          Which one is a better response to violent religious extremism?

                You are just here to deny human rights abuses as long as it is your team.

                I don’t have a team so I don’t need to make excuses for fascist shit countries.

                  I’m not on any nation team. I’m on the human team. If humanity can do better, we should. I live in America, and I’ve read mostly American history so I’m more aware of our crimes. I don’t trust anything our captured media says about the rest of the world.

                    But you will trust anything China says when it denies its long history of human rights abuses?

                    Something doesn’t add up. I do appreciate your appeal to team human and I agree we can and should do better.

                    I have studied human rights abuses for over three decades now. I can confidently say no nation except perhaps in ancient history can compare to the US levels of human destruction. If you count environmental destruction then no country in history can come close.

        It’s very tiresome to see Americans turn a blind eye to concentration camps in their own backwards while claiming some moral imperative to liberate Xinjiang.

        Or Venezuela. Or North Korea. Or Cuba.

          I am not doing that dipshit. You are doing the exact thing I was just talking about. Yes America is a shit show right now that doesn’t magically make the Chinese government not suck.

          America has concentration camps and is arresting innocent adults and children and filling those camps. It’s terrible and it does nothing to make China’s government suck less.

            This is Whataboutism!

            Whataboutism! Whataboutism! Whataboutism!

            America has concentration camps and is arresting innocent adults and children and filling those camps.

            Help me. I am a 8 year old boy living in the illegitimate Yankee Capitalist regime. President Xi, our shelves are empty and we are hungry. I am asking you to liberate my state of Connecticut with your Chengdu J-20 Stealth air superiority fighters and your Dongfeng 41 Missiles.

              Whataboutism is saying how evil America is and acting like that makes China less bad. Every asshole in these comments acting like China is “less evil” than the United States is barfing out whataboutisms.

              Trump is a pedophile. This doesn’t make China suck less it just makes America suck more.

                They’re accusing you of whataboutism … by using whataboutism. There’s nothing to gain in talking to that kind of person.

                Aaaaah! My mistake. I didn’t realize Whataboutism was America specific. All this time I thought it was a generic rhetorical technique where you try to deflect the blame for your own country’s missteps by insisting any other country was worse.

                But apparently America is exempt. Perhaps even… exceptional? Is there some kind of American Exceptionalism at play here? One in which America is beyond criticism?

                Trump is a pedophile. This doesn’t make China suck less

                Okay, but what if the Chinese economy promotes things Americans desire - green alternative energy, public health care and education accessible to residents without respect to income or ethnic background, a near totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry following the collapse of the landlord-backed government?

                Would that make China suck less?

        America’s just mad because they build de-radicalization camps instead of labeling them terrorists and genociding them.

      just look up what they did to the Uyghurs.

      What they did according to debunked “eyewitnesses” and anti-communist funded media.
