Holy fucking copium. The entire thing is "we're only interested in our national and strategic interests, but that's actually good for both parties".

The year began with the relationship at a historic low point. A year ago this week, a Chinese spy balloon traveled across the United States

Lmao

holy shit why do they bring that up? i thought they decided to memory hole that entire pathetic tantrum...

incredible losers.

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 7 months ago

Nah, they’re still convinced PRC was trying to spy on the US

[-] huf@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago

nah the PRC is spying on the US, they're right about that much. but they're spying using satellites and real spies, you know, adult stuff :D

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I’d be shocked if the U.S. wasn’t also trying to spy on the PRC

[-] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago

Biden barely has shit on his resume from the past 4 years and a fuckton of his potential voter base hates him. They're trying everything to increase his chances.

[-] huf@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

so...

  • he was a lifeguard at a pool
  • he shot down a very scary balloon

and this man has a good chance of winning the election, as i understand it. well.

This is actually the best version of his resume. The 60 years in between are not pretty at all

[-] 201dberg@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 7 months ago

It's funny because they legit admitted it wasn't a spy balloon months after they blew it up and then waited a while and went back to it after everyone forgot.

[-] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 7 months ago

Basically everyone I know wholeheartedly believe that the balloon was for espionage purposes.

[-] MarxMadness@lemmygrad.ml 44 points 7 months ago

historic low point

When your knowledge of China dates back to maybe the Nixon administration

That’s because when Biden brings up the 1940s, everyone collectively says ok boomer and asks why he’s not in a nursing home yet
