To be fair, regardless of your political views (pro-U.S or pro-China)
I guarantee, this is a more impactful change than the U.S or China's politics, on their own, will ever get... at least something's new IN THE WORLD
(I'm not even gonna convince y'all on whether China is good or not or America bad; I have my own views, you have yer own)
I hate this dichotomy of pro-us or pro-china.
It is possible (and highly encouraged) to use basic critical thinking and be critical of both when relevant.
You would probably classify me as pro-us, because I think tianman square was a horrible massacre and russian forces are commiting war crimes in ukraine. Doesnt mean I’m not critical of american imperialism. You can be critical to both. And in your whataboutism, I think a lot of ML, Hexbear accounts fail to be critical when appropriate of both.
The real question is if a person is truly critical of American imperialism or will still vote for politicians doing said imperialism.

Oh China. Always invading countries and toppling regimes: but its good.
Now, now... Don't be upset that they've failed miserably in Korea and Vietnam to do those things.
My man, yk I could just say flip the liberal whataboutism and that being history and also point ye at the U.S occupying parts of Syria, and controlling South Korea's military now as we speak
Life expectancy in China was just 32 in the year 1850, and over the course of the next 170 years, it more than doubled to 76.6.
If you do the math then in 2190 they’ll be living until they are 153.2.
It was actually still around 32 for a hundred years after 1850, it had been sitting stagnant right up until the communists came to power.
This is the most dumbest comment I have seen all year.
