    This comment was brought to you by the US State Department.

    Tell me, how many countries’ governments has China knocked over in the last century as compared to the US CIA?

    How many countries did the US drop bombs on in the last decade, and how many did China?

    It’s not even close. In terms of physical violence the US is the world’s #1 exporter.

      Oh, whoops, you thought I was defending the US. Not what I said, but it’s the only way you can deflect from what the Chinese government is.

      China being economically destitute for the last century thanks to terrible CCP domestic policies doesn’t somehow change the fact that they represent an even darker path forward for humanity than the US. It’s not really a point that can be argued. China has hundreds of concentration camps, forced mass relocation of Tibetans and other minorities to place them in dormitories they literally can’t leave except during work hours, a national information firewall to control everything their populace sees.

      Like, Xi Xinping had fucking execution vans in his lead up to power. Your brain would have to be scrubbed bloody to think China and the US represent the same thing.

        The history speaks for itself. China is less of a threat to other countries in the world than the USA is. Your idea that they’re some international boogeyman that’s going to take over the entire world and doom humanity is just you repeating “China bad and scary” State Department propaganda.

        Even with China’s human rights record being what it is, they don’t export war across the entire world.
