It's like some made up title that they use for "experts" on the history channel. Sino Authoritarianologist.
>Anxiety about China is making American policymakers react in paranoid, repressive ways.
What fearmongering does to mfs
China lives rent free...
... because I ain't no stinkin' landloard!
Lol, amazing graphic
since when do crackers think about garlic (mario doesn't count)
also, since when do any of then visualize an actual globe and not a fake mercator "map" where europe is thrice the size of china
we need this as an emoji! @[email protected]
the most unrealistic part of that image is the idea that Americans could actually point China out on a map
I mean, come on, if I had to spin a globe and guess I'd be more likely to guess right about China or Russia than anywhere else in the world.

It's never our fault, it's always their fault.
But collectively they are yielding a United States that is fundamentally more closed — and more like China in meaningful ways.

My standards are getting lower for which neoliberals deserve to be put in the ground during/after the revolution.
