    Weird. There’s a lot of anti China stories circulating this week. Like maybe they are trying to influence public opinion.

          They’re only a global superpower that is constantly causing problems for everyone around it, no big deal or anything. Definitely not newsworthy at all, no.

            Aspiring superpower, really. They don’t quite check all the boxes yet – particularly when it comes to force projection.

          Good on ya, assuming I’m American (I’m not). Also, classic use of US bad, therefore Russia/China good. Two countries can be overmilitarized imperialists at the same time.

        Shitty things like… Flying within China’s ADIZ that happens to overlap with Taiwan’s ADIZ because Taiwan refuses to use the median line as their ADIZ boundary like China does?

            Sure, but violating ADIZ is a non-issue. There are other, more important things to worry about.

              You’re defending a dictatorship that pretends to be communist. China is closer to fascism than most of the world. Which you’d understand, if you weren’t a fucking tankie.

      There’s been both “China Best” and China being shady posts. We’ll never know for sure in this age of fake information. Might be that they’re trying to follow the Russia model.
