Hey, when people talk about the bad shit we do, it makes them think we do bad shit!
Obviously, the solution is to complain when they talk about the bad shit we do.
Yeah, bad shit like lifting millions out of abject poverty, passing the hump on emissions, producing 80 percent of the world's solar, focusing on mutual economic benefit instead of imperialism like the NATO bloc, etc etc
OK, so China has looked out for its own interests and created an economic advantage for a fraction of its own population.
And yet, still the largest source of methane emission.
As a product they can sell. Let's not pretend like this has some altruistic motivation.
Sorry, which part of what you wrote is relevant to the bad shit that China has done?
Let's stay on topic. If you want to discuss NATO, we can do that after.
If lifting hundreds of millions of your poorest into the middle class is just naked self interest, why are Western countries so unwilling to do it? Are they stupid?
