dude spend two min googling ‘Chinese atrocities from 1900’

Ok, I did that exact thing verbatim, and the entire first page of results are things that happened before anyone here was born.

I'm not about to claim they're saintly in any way, for sure they have lots of well-documented internal issues with civil liberties, free speech, and oppression of minority groups, but the fact that you're going so far into the past to make your case just makes it a case in support of the opposite view.

Also the first result is literally a rebellion against invading foreign powers lmao.

recency bias, there are people still alive that were directly impacted

but thank you for actually reading about it

but yes the US is bad, i’m not defending it

but sure as fuck China doesn’t get to hand wave the past away

and not all of their evils have stopped

they’re just not being currently ran by an orange buffoon

the US had evil shit going on under Obama and yet the world image of the US was much better then
