I don't know about China, but Biden is really throwing stones from glass houses here as the leader of a country which is teetering on the edge of civil war, had a full blown insurrection in the past few years, and not only has it failed to prosecute the leader and instigator, it has allowed him to run for election again and there is a possibility of him being elected.

And this is not mentioning that so many in the highest offices "on both sides" are so hilariously corrupt in a country with its national ethos being "the land of the free".

I'm not happy about this by the way, I don't think a world order built by China would be better than the shitty one we got from the US.

They’re at least building green energy and trains lol. And less wars. Already better.

Go live there for a few years and tell us more on your way back.

I'm going there in February for a few months, that's a start. Looking forward to it.

Report back. Am genuinely curious!

I'll be there, and I travel often across main cities for work, so let me know then if you want to hang out.

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

Sure, I will be all over the place. Once I know my plans a bit solidly I will let you know.

A great way to tell us you're a chauvinist who doesn't know anybody who lives in China and never been there.
