    Hong Kong was leased for 99 years and then reverted to being a “special administrative region” there was no invasion.

    The U.S. invaded Iraq and Afghanistan and provided military support for war crimes to Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

        I have literally no idea what you are trying to say with that? Is queers supposed to be a verb in that sentence?

        I’m not saying china is good, I am saying America is bad even in comparison to China in many ways. The U.S. has become culpable for the atrocities being committed by Israel and El Salvador and that is just this year. In recent years they got the atrocities being committed in the Middle East and before that South America and south east Asia

          Is queers supposed to be a verb in that sentence?

          It’s a pisstake of ‘queers for palestine’, i modified the post to make it a bit clearer

          I’m not saying china is good, I am saying America is bad even in comparison to China in many ways

          And I’m saying that’s going to be a tough fight even on a good day (and I’m saying this as someone who doesn’t like the USA very much)

          When you become a global superpower you get to swing your dick about, just because China has been busy with the Century of humiliation for the last couple of years doesn’t mean they’re all meek and mild

          They send weapons to Pakistan (which is practically a terrorist state), fund and do deals with the Taliban (who are a terrorist state), team up with warlords all over Africa, and not to mention 4 days ago Xi was in Russia standing side by side with Putin who is an authoritarian dictator currently invading Ukraine?

          And of course the highly likely upcoming invasion of Taiwan

          Taiwan’s largest annual war games, held to simulate responses to a possible Chinese invasion, **will publicly assume a full-scale attack for the first time in 2027 **

          What the US does globally can be bad but I’m not seeing much to suggest China is any better

            Your reasons for why China is worse than the US is that they are doing the same stuff as the U.S.?

            China is threatening an invasion of Taiwan, US is threatening an invasion of Greenland.

            The US funds terrorist groups around the world, China funds Pakistan
