Lots of big talk from China side, they do not like that. Pelosi going anyway.

Big week I guess, and it's only Monday!

I support recognition of Taiwan's independence. It's about damn time we told them Reds to fuck off and let people have their freedom. They're getting mega angsty and have been flouting international law for decades now.

US hasn't?
I would rather have shitty and paranoid superpowers sit around a table than taunt each other constantly.

There is a large group in Washington that wants war with China, sooner than later, there's definitely one in China as well but probably not so soon.

US hasn't?

Lol fair enough. I just have great contempt for any power that tries to overshadow Team America World Police. Especially ones that have such authoritarian governments.

I'd rather everyone just fucked off and stopped.
We in EU (the regular man & woman) just keep getting fucked over constantly, it's unbelievable. Inflation, energy prices, the Euro losing value... And now they're for sure gonna start decoupling economically from China (it seems like in the long run, war is likely), leading to all sorts of setbacks.

Same in the U.S.

But China does seem to have aggressive imperialistic attitudes. It's not enough to oppress their own people, in Xinjiang and Tibet and Hong Kong; no, they want to oppress the world, in favor of the Han race. Yes U.S. involvement in international affairs has been murky, but I feel it's nothing compared with what China is trying to do in the 21st century.

Clock is ticking down, folk.

 

[Buzz Lightbeer]

no, they want to oppress the world, in favor of the Han race.

Any evidence of this? It's a superpower trying to establish dominance. Like every superpower ever.
US involvement in international affairs has been "murky" but what China has done has been much worse? I'm gonna need specifics here cause the death tolls say otherwise man.

It's war speak to me. Another way to spend your tax dollars.

 

[Buzz Lightbeer]

I don't think this sets off WW3 or anything, for the record. It wouldn't make sense.

 

[Cream Gravy?]

I'm gonna need specifics here cause the death tolls say otherwise man.

We can't be sure how many of China's people they've killed themselves. We barely have info about Xinjiang but we know for sure they have labor camps there. I'm 100% certain if China hasn't passed us, they will within a few years.

but what China has done has been much worse?

In some ways yes; sure the U.S. fucked the natives, that's well known. But otherwise we've had no mass killing programs within our borders. China has several... in the 21st century. They have the knowledge to know they're wrongdoings and they ignore it, something that wouldn't happen in 21st century U.S.

 

[Cream Gravy?]

Any evidence of this?

To be honest, I'm too lazy to look up Han Chinese promotion, but it's real. I studied it at university, it's very real. Being a card carrying Han makes you leaps and bounds above say, Manchurians.

They have 50+ races recognized in China. Only one gets favored...

 

[Buzz Lightbeer]

Big talk!

But still, this is not about this. It's about doing what's best for all us little people. War is not in our interest.
The war hawks will disagree and will do anything to convince you that it is in the coming years (and in the past years).

 

[Cream Gravy?]

I guess I just feel for the people of Taiwan. They don’t want to be a part of China and I’d hate for the world to let them down, let them be invaded and murdered and enslaved by the CCP. There’s no reason for China to want them in their fold other than to normalize the idea that the CCP is carrying out the wishes of the people.

The CCP promised Hong Kong 50 years of peaceful transition. They got less than 25. What was once the busiest trading hub in the world is now a ghost of a city.

This better not be a scam, so she can ride in a private plane and have a security detail.

I'm glad we've chosen such an opportune time to ruffle China's feathers.

Oh, I heard some random has been ruffling Xi’s feathers for a few months now.

You should be glad she made it there safely, an international incident would stress you out.

You and your high profile political job.
