šµšø Free Palestine šµšøBiden calls China a 'ticking time bomb' due to economic troubles
maynarkhI 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.
u_tamtamGo live there for a few years and tell us more on your way back.
ā YĻÉ ĘŌĻŹ āA great way to tell us youāre a chauvinist who doesnāt know anybody who lives in China and never been there.
It could be that. Or it could be the exact opposite (which it is, would you want to see my hukou?), and the fact that you canāt tell the difference while thinking that you could and that it matters makes you an angry little person.
The fact that all you ever do here is shit on China shows what your agenda is buddy. The only angry little person here is the one who canāt say a single nice thing about a country thatās lifting millions of people out of poverty each and every year.
āagendaā, I like how you make it sound like my posts are some kind of greater, organized operation or conspiracy. Projection maybe? Because between the two of us, you are the only one whose post history is consistently made of political activism disguised as news. Not that it automatically makes you a bad person, but you canāt reasonably expect people to take you and your opinion seriously when you have the pretence to simultaneously speak from position of authority on geopolitical topics as broad as China, Russia, West Africa, North America, Central America, Eastern Europe, all at the same time. You should realize that you canāt possibly have such a broad life exposure, or your time would be better invested outside of Lemmy, donāt you think? The only reasonable alternative, and sad reality, is that you are just repeating talking points conveniently arranged for you and repeated inside your echo chamber.
As of me, I am equally entitled to my own opinions, equally partaking to information bubbles, with the difference that my life is actually forever bound to China and that I can legitimately pretend that I have something to contribute to that discussion. Unlike you, I am not brigading from a far-away continent. I donāt āshit on Chinaā. Had you any idea of my situation, you wouldnāt even think of saying something like that. You do may find that some of what I have to say on certain topics is contrary to your ideals, but so is China: it isnāt the monolithic strong fortress people make it to be in the media (in either side of the discourse).
Iām actually pretty open about my political activism. Iām not disguising anything. Having grown up in USSR, and moved around the world a lot, I do think I have a much broader exposure than majority of people. The fact that you presume to know so much about me exposes the sad reality about you projecting what you know of yourself to be true onto others Iām afraid. I also love how you accuse me of doing what you yourself regularly do here, unless youāll have us believe that you have some deep expertise on the political situation in Africa. Seems to me that youāre trying to speak from position of authority in comments such as this one, while clearly demonstrating utter lack of knowledge on the subject. I donāt know why you felt the need to be ābrigadingā that far away continent.
Meanwhile, nowhere have I claimed that China is some monolithic strong fortress or that there arenāt legitimate problems in China. My only claims has been that despite the problems China has, it shows a better alternative to what the west is doing. While you seem to be fixating on problems such as unlimited freedom of expression, that affects a tiny majority of the people, Iām looking at the problem of meeting the material needs of the people. China has done a far better job in ensuring that people have things like food, housing, education, and healthcare than the supposedly enlightened western liberal societies.
To sum up, you pretend to have some sort of high ground and sling feces at me, but the only difference is that you support western empire and all its horrors whether you realize it or not.
