I donāt 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 āon both sidesā are so hilariously corrupt in a country with its national ethos being āthe land of the freeā.
Iām not happy about this by the way, I donāt think a world order built by China would be better than the shitty one we got from the US.

I do to be honest.
Iām going there in February for a few months, thatās a start. Looking forward to it.
A great way to tell us youāre a chauvinist who doesnāt know anybody who lives in China and never been there.
Theyāre at least building green energy and trains lol. And less wars. Already better.
Iād rather be under the rule of a hegemony that is composed of many different cultures and in the process of healing than one who is still actively genociding their minorities.
EDIT: Welp, I guess there is no war in Ba Sing Se. Yaāll are expert brigaders, well done.
If we pretend that what the USA does to its own people is acceptable, you still have to consider what it does to the rest of the world. Iām sorry, but in light of all the evidence, I see the US hegemony as evil. I also doubt the western mediaās portrayal of the Uyghur āgenocideā and I donāt agree that China is in the process of a Holocaust against its own people.
Iām lucky enough to have a job that puts me in contact with a lot of countries all over the global south of the world, and the general opinion from all of them is that China is a lot better prospect than old Western imperialism.

China has 56 different major ethinicities and 5 different autonomous regions. The only racist here is you, for believing this shit and knowing nothing about the country. The two fastest growing ethnicities in China are Tibetan followed by Uighur.
Less than 10% of Native Americans can speak their native language. How many Uighers and Tibetans can speak theirs?
Have you been to a reservation? I remember one that we drove through in Arizona, the Hualapai. It wasnāt just a desert, but a salt flat, utterly devoid of vegetation. Along the road, you had dilapidated pre-fabs, occupied of course by the victims that had been placed here. Not all reservations are as harrowing. Iāve visited the Navajo Nation, as well as Lakota and Ute reservations. Poverty is intense, and people do the best they can, but the reality is that these people had their lands stolen from them and were forced to the most marginal places in US, unsuitable for much agriculture and barely suitable for ranching.
There is no healing in these places, rather the victims of genocide are constantly blamed for their own poverty by the settler communities stole their land. The native peoples were devastated by covid due to the lack of healthcare resources as well.
Letās look at the Black American community as well. It was just 3 years ago that the US had its largest protest movement in history against the police killings of unarmed Black men. And what was the response by the government and media? After a moment of groveling, to take back all promises of reform and instead funnel even more money to an increasingly militarized police force, and to engage in a panicked sensationalized crime wave reportage. Police killings continue (1 in 20 homicides are perpetrated by the police), and the economic situation hasnāt improved much for Black Americans since the Great Recession lead to a massive seizure of Black household wealth.
The situation in the US isnāt healing, itās an oozing pustulate sore. There has been a failure to reinforce voting rights, and anything like reparations, even just targeted relief, is considered a joke and a non-starter in the halls of power. The only healing is in the minds of libs that think that donning Kente cloth and watching Black Panther constitutes absolution.
This of course is to say nothing of the murderous wars waged by the US in Iraq, Laos, Vietnam and elsewhere, and the genocides it co-sponsored in Guatamala and Indonesia. Or the general neo-colonial global financial mechanisms that lock the third world into permanent debt traps and underdevelopment.
Yaāll are expert brigaders, well done.
Itās a frontpage post dumbass š weāre not brigading weāre just commenting on the post that appears on our feeds
It 100% would be better. There is nothing in modern Chinese history that remotely approaches the level of imperial devastation the US has wrought on the world. This is not up for debate by any serious person. How many countries has China invaded recently? How many coups have they instigated? Is their āforeign aidā designed to help countries develop, or to extract as much wealth as possible while keeping them impoverished, underdeveloped, and dependent on the west for their most basic needs? Has the standard of living in China been going up or down in recent decades? Now ask yourself the same questions about the US.
How do we not have a third precinct burning emoji? Anyway, there were two insurrections. Donātu forget the millions of brave people who rose up in the largest protest action in American history, bolstered by millions of comrades around the world, to fight back against the tyranny and oppression of the rabid pigs America deploys as cops.
President of the Ticking Time Bomb Republic says that the country that hasnāt had a recession in 45 years is āin troubleā and that their 5.2% GDP increase projected by the IMF is āweak growthā.
Remeber when the US economy collapsed in 2007 and ever since then itās been propped up by speculation, free money, zomvie companies that cannot and will never turn a profit, bailouts, and outright fraud, all while the living conditions of the people continue to decay and live expectancy plummets?
Yeah yeah, Iāve heard that before. Thereās a whole cottage industry of āexpertsā that have predicted the imminent collapse of China going back decades. Call me when it actually happens.
Chinaās economy is stacked like a house of cards and could come crumbling down due to some unforeseen global financial shock, but then again that sounds like most modern economies. I think people just pick on China because, instead of having a group of billionaires stack up the cards, the government does it themselves.
Even if that shock happens, China will still be in a better situation. Like, they actually manufacture stuff there, and the government builds infrastructure aggressively. Thatās two massive benefits to economic security and health.
But what if all that high speed rail disappears, huh? Didnāt think about that, stupid tankie.
The Chinese government stacks the cards though it actually has the capability to use some toothpicks to hold them in place, and will immediately rebuild it things start to fall apart.
To contrast, the US will flounder and pull their one ālow interest ratesā lever while having a political blowout over some sort of stimulus funding package that probably wonāt pass.
Do you repeat something you heard there or can you in detail describe how the worlds greates manufacturing Hub is a economy build on Cardsā¦
Well, actually itās because Chinaās roaring economic success is both deeply embarassing and existentially dangerous to international fascism and it is absolutely vital that they both discredit China and prevent their thoroughly indoctrinated population from learning anything about China at all costs.
In fairness, olā Joe just learned about the Tikky Tockies, so he thinks China is all clocks and timers now.
He can blame himself and his bad economic policies. Pretty simple. Who cares about China anyway?
