Meanwhile back in reality land: China enjoys good relationships and win-win co-operation with the global majority and in addition has made itself indispensable to the western world which can complain and moan all it wants but still has to buy China’s products.
Anyway here’s the link if you want to bother reading this garbage: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2024/04/25/china-blinken-us-visit-us-taiwan-chinese-navy-pla-air-force/
This is some next level cope. I got some friends that would eat this without asking any questions, but they also believe that China isn’t socialist and about to collapse, so they got that going…
Yet all isn’t well. Chinese coast guard ships and maritime militia have harassed Philippine vessels trying to reinforce their sailors on the Second Thomas Shoal, which Beijing and Manila both claim. The People’s Liberation Army Air Force continues to fly across the Taiwan Strait median-line on a regular basis. The China-India border dispute in the Himalayas, meanwhile, remains unsolved four years after troops clashed in the area.
These are the best examples you have of China being an “enemy to the world”? Minor local territorial disputes with casualties in the tens?
They’re reaching so hard they’re gonna need a chiropractor afterwards.
To be fair, I’m pretty sure that chiropractic treatment is mostly a pseudo-science, so I wouldn’t advocate for a neoliberal being given more of that
A fair percentage is, I would guess the majority. You can have chiropractors who actually have some medical background, often in PT, and may know better what is safe to do but a lot of them don’t. My mother was an orthopedic radiologist and saw a lot of patients coming in who had been seriously hurt by chiropractors.
Yeah. Chinese militia vessels harassing Filipino fishermen is still an L from China.
China? Unpopular?? Maybe to you crackers 😂
Literally i can’t think of a single country other than China that has such good relations with almost the entire non-western world.
That is just outright untrue. I swear if I didn’t become a hardcore leftist and actually look into this shit, I’d probably believe that China is literally Mordor and everyone hates them and wants to fight them. Because the media tells a completely different story from reality.
I saw the headline and opener a few days ago, really pissed me off.
I promise that China will collapse tomorrow.
I feel like USians by and large used to realize the rest of the world hated us (for our freedumbs, granted)
s/China/USA/g and you get the truth.
Why do they love projecting so much? I’ve seen them doing this many times before: oppression and genocide of Muslims, censorship, violating privacy, misinformation and propaganda, spying, interference, etc. All the things the US and its allies accused others of doing (without proofs), they are guilty of them themselves (with proofs).
But ultimately China’s desire to become Asia’s biggest power player is forcing its smaller neighbours to boost their own defence capabilities, spend more on their military budgets and expand security and economic partnerships with each other.
This is just like standard abuser language right? “I’m not doing this for my own reasons, it’s because you’re making me do this. I feel so threatened by you being influential against my global empire! My proxies just have to spend more money on military and defense. You’re scaring me. I’m literally shaking right now from your Belt and Road Initiative, it’s scaring the 1000+ military bases I have across the world.”
So weird how they don’t apply the same logic to the US and its increasingly desperate attempts to hold on to its hegemonic position in Asia.
Wait, no, weird isn’t the right word. Typical is what i meant. Typical hypocrisy that we have come to expect from the western media.
This is just straight projection
Always is.
Meanwhile most of the world: The Belt and Road is rad. We’d like to participate. Meanwhile a good chunk of countries: BRICS is fucking neat. How do i join?
Fuck off and jump into a volcano feet first you imperialist pieces of shit. I have seen men run over by tanks, toddlers collected in grocery bags, bodies with hands zip tied bulldozed at a hospital and a thousand other ghastly images. This isn’t about me, what I mean to say is the WORLD outside of perhaps a handful of elite crackers has also seen this shit and know china isn’t responsible for it.
Sometimes I think that abu ghraib wasn’t leaked as much as it was publicized to show what the empire can do without the oppressed having any recourse.
That healine would be accurate if you replaced China with US. Pure
and pure ideology 
Inventing reality
