Both the US and China are bullies. So what's the point of this?

Edit: don't bother replying, I'm not buying what you're selling.

The "neither Washington nor Beijing" folk always try to draw equivalences even when Trump is tanking the world economy and China is the only one with the means and reason to take a stand. The truth is, China isn't a bully, while the US absolutely is. It isn't China with the hundreds of millitary bases worldwide, it is always China pushing for multilateralism.

Is China perfect? Nope. Is it getting steadily better as the US is steadily getting worse? Undoubtedly. The fact is, Socialism works, and the genocidal settler-colony of the US Empire does everything it can to make people see the PRC as equal to its evil even with the most sophisticated propaganda networks on Earth.

"Give bully a centimeter,he will take a kilometer."

I'm pretty sure China does metric units.

To be fair, it's the Chinese Embassy to the US.

Trump is so cooked. Which is scary because he's the kind of egomaniac to resort to war to get what he wants.

Hopefully he gives up and just decides he'd rather do nothing and golf.

I can see him invading Greenland to distract from this disaster.

May this trade war be the one dying flail of US Imperialism before quiet acceptance and capitulation at the changing of the tides.

The CPC's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson is now Mao Posting, too. I really don't see Trump winning this one, lol

Unfathomable takes from this thread

what is this shit

Its sad that ppl are going to have to write essays debunking this white-supremacist nonsense instead of being able to downvote and move on with their lives. I guess that's kinda twitter's goal, to drive engagement with ragebait.

Trump got in way over his head here, the same way Biden managed to do with Russia. Except China is a far more important economy globally.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For sure, though I'm not surprised the US Empire is trying to wiggle its way out of slow death by flailing miserably.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

turns out that the managers of the empire aren't immune to their own propaganda 🤣

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

Yep, almost poetic seeing the Empire churn out the next line of caretakers that actually believe the lies the last ones told
