"Building trust" is an abstraction that covers many many activities. The fact that Russia did many things that could have built trust but didn't is completely lost on you, so you have no ability to question WHY trust wasn't built as a result of the actions taken. Because if you DID question why, you would see that Ukraine's transition to a right-wing Euro-centric government entailed it being Russophobic and part of the European project to dominate Russia.

How foolish. Japan violently occupied Korea. After the USA nuked Japanese civilians, they took over Japan's dominance of Korea, threatening both Russian and China. The USA was internally debating nuking Korea and also invading China.

When the Vietnamese revolted against French colonial rule, the French brutally repressed them, but still lost. The USA came in to maintain that colonial dominance and destroyed Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, all in positions to threaten China.

The Dalai Lama's brother has written a book expressing his regrets around working with the CIA as they used the Dalai Lama and his family to threaten China. The USA was training Tibetan terrorists and literally airlifting them into Tibet to create violence and chaos and undermine China.

When China underwent a civil war and the losers fled to Taiwan and established a brutal fascist dictatorship and executed the White Terror, the USA and UK blockaded the island to prevent the civil war from continuing because the West wanted the fascists to win.

It's real simple, the USA needs to get the fuck out of Asia entirely, they need to stop withdrawing from nuclear treaties, they need to stop occupying Korea, they need to stop training terrorists in East Asia, they need to remove their 600 international military bases, they need to get rid of their immunity for their soldiers from any and all crimes they commit on foreign soil, they need to drop their policy of invading The Hague if a USA official or soldier is ever tried by the ICC, they need to stop trying to undermine MAD and developing nuclear first strike capabilities, and they need to stop brutal sieges of nations all over the world causing shortages of food and medicine.

No risk of taking it as gospel. The only gospel I need is the ever developing analysis of historical materialism, and what we know so far is the USA nuked civilians, dropped DU in urban Yugoslavia without any reason (except experimentation), has a long history of killing people for experimental reasons, and currently operates secret bases in other nations to avoid its own domestic laws constraining its behavior.

I am pretty open to new accusations against the USA given its history, and I'm not very receptive to Western narratives discrediting accusers.

Sodium metabisulfate...

Meanwhile in the USA farmers spray wheat with glyphosate a week before harvest and then we all ingest fucking herbicide in every goddamn food product

It is in China's self-interest for the era of imperialism, complete with its colonialism and neocolonialism, to come to an end. It turns out, that's also in the self-interest of literally everyone, even the imperialists. So the fact that this is in the interests of China is sort of a moot point.

That's like saying a doctor is only curing people of life threatening diseases so she can eat a decent meal and sleep in a comfortable bed. Uh, sure... I think we can all agree that whoever helps out should get a good life. What's the point of saying what you're saying, exactly?

No, Sisi led the ouster of Mursi. Mursi had become president of Egypt in 2012, a year before Sisi led his ouster. The implication is that Mursi was oustered from the presidency.

At the time of the ouster, Sisi was the (?an?) army chief and Mursi was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. It is unclear if Mursi is still a member. It is clear that Sisi is no longer the (?an?) army chief as Sisi is now president.
