China bad propaganda. Instead of talking about the horrific civil war in Sudan, lets talk about ramming some ships and get the US involved in that... fucking insanity.
PS: Let me make this clear: I don't give a shit about what China does unless it involves actual ethnic cleansing and mass rape. If we don't give a shit about the latter, we shouldn't "get involved" in the former.
Ok kiddo, I'm just gonna tell you the brutal truth.
Everyone likes the cheap stuff China makes, but we're not comfortable with how they run things, so every time we're reminded that they're going to be the dominant global super power by 2100 we freak out a bit.
Conversely, Muslims killing Muslims in a country that doesn't make anything we want isn't that important.
I'm not saying this is how things ought to be, but it is how things are.
Any American can easily and freely research any topic you listed there.
Are you and your fellow Chinese allowed free access to information or only what your government allows? Why does China need state sensorship if not to protect their lies?
Lol. You aren't allowed to criticize your government without going to jail. How does that make you feel?
I really want to believe you typed that all out right now, but I guess either way, it's also pretty batshit crazy to have that ready to copy and paste.
Also I spotted a 21 Savage in there somewhere. It's almost like a word search.
Right? Who has that on hand and ready to go? Weirdos.
Uh if that's meant for Americans we can't read Chinese letters...
Also we freely research all of those topics.
Hell some of them are taught in school.
We didn't start the fire
Yet another weird take
Don't know now but up to a couple of years ago there where infinite traffic jams due to trucks carrying coal from the mines. Maybe you mean "to combat FOR climate change".
Well if you don't care what I think why bother with the propaganda?
Funny you should bring that up... You should ask the Uyghurs in China about that.
Also, the world watched them impose their rule over Hong Kong, we watched their military murder their way through protesting civilians. We know what to expect from China, we've seen their playbook.
But Taiwan is an ally of the USA, Japan is an ally of the USA, and we will stand by them. There are many other sovereign nations in the waters of the South China Sea, China does not own all that territory.
It would be in China's best interest to back the fuck off.
That's not how international politics works, though. It's way too complicated but one key principle is "do what the treat says you agreed to do." Because if you don't do it once, you're other Allies might not do it when it's your turn.
That's a gross oversimplification of course, but the point is that you don't want to end up going all Putin and telling your smaller allies to fuck off.
I think you mean 'treaty'? But i'm not 100% sure
Textbook whataboutism.
We should get involved.
The Chinese people deserve better than their occupying CCP regime.
Would that be before or after you elect a fascist "dictator on day one"? In a country where living costs make it impossible to have kids? Where healthcare spirals out of control and people don't call an ambulance because of fear of bankruptcy? Where 12 year kids are forced to bear their rape babies to term? You are literally on the cusp of fascism you moron.
There is plenty wrong with China and ramming boats is not nice. But your ghoulish lust for blood and destruction is disgusting your fucking fascist prick.
Listen, China is going to start a war, their overall situation basically demands it, and we'll win.
But if they decide not to, that's fine too.
I'm not bloodthirsty, I'm just not remotely afraid of it, countries like Russia and China need to learn: "Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'."
And BTW, they're never, ever, EVER getting Taiwan back.
Americans will bitch and cry about Chinese propaganda, then eat Pentagon press briefs up with a spoon and call you racist for questioning a headline.
You will never see China Coast Guard vessel helps rescue a Philippine fishing boat in distress near Huangyan Dao ora far more generic Two foreign-flagged ships collide off Corregidor Island, 2 dead. You'll never have folks ask why these Philippine vessels are running aground and crashing into one another so often. Because that might suggest a problem with the enormously overstressed fisheries and ship channels all through the Pacific.
That might raise more general concerns about the unregulated nature of naval policy in a region dominated by private shipping companies.
So much easier to just run a parade of articles saying "Gulf of Tonkin! USS Maine!" on a loop.
We have the video. We can see the sea was not overcrowded by any means.
