I don't care for ol Winnie and his Thousand Acre Ego, and hate many things China has done. In far too many ways they are backwards, explicitly destructive, and often refuse to negotiate.

However, and likely due to the overreach of government there, they certainly can and do make decisions I can at least agree with. If it wasn't for the general conniving and "fuck you, I prefer one-way streets" way of essentially absolute control, I'd argue they were the good guys. Problem is we know better. The world isn't that simple.

I just wish it was.

We'd be so much further along as a race if we could work together.
