Tell me you’ve never been to china without telling me you’ve never been to china.

Maybe the US needs to take a play out of China’s book - require >50% ownership stake of any Chinese company doing business in the US and allow American companies to just take that technology and roll with it.

I wasn’t thinking about the Chinese internet firewall at the moment, but you bring up a good point - that’s a bad thing. What’s the alternative, internet freedom where china can’t police the media and public discourse?

Sucks how the west makes china censor it’s citizens.

You’re the one who keeps dick measuring countries. I call out specific bad actions, regardless of who commits them.

It’s okay though, the west made you post that message.

Got it. Everything is the west’s fault. Very nuanced.

You guys are so weird. Russia is awful for non-cis people and you’re all falling over yourselves simping for them.

Let’s both hope it never happens then. I’d rather be your friend than adversary.

You remind me of a Russian propagandist right before one of their invasions of Ukraine.

Right. Reactionary. That must be why china is requiring that all civilian ferries are capable of RORO of tank sized vehicles and why they’re building massive landing barges capable of handling landing on Taiwan’s rocky coasts.

Taiwan has every right to be concerned with an invasion because it’s what china keeps saying.

So, no, you don’t get to wave your propaganda wand and make a very real issue go away.

Who said anything about being the same? Israel is the worst offender in the world.

China is planning for an invasion of Taiwan, so they’re certainly putting together a backup plan in case Taiwan doesn’t agree to become part of China. Doesn’t seem like they’d need that sort of thing if they were being truly peaceful.

It’s also things like your analysis being “flies a plane near a country” that is a sign you aren’t being adequately critical of china and I question your seriousness and reasons.

I mean, seriously, look at this map and tell me how you consider this “peaceful”:

The fact you think china is pursuing peaceful unification kind of outs you. They are not giving Taiwan a choice; comply or face death.

Also I want all nations to behave better, especially Israel and the US right now. I don’t generally think China is bad and the people certainly are not, but bad actions should be called out and criticized regardless of who you are. That’s how we become better people.

China: Doesn’t even consider Taiwan’s right exist and is forcing their unification with aggressive military incursions in their territory.

Tankie like you: ALL WEST BAD, ONLY CHINA GOOD AND EVERY VALID CRITICISM IS WESTERN PROPAGANDA.

Okay, buddy.
