Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

i think China is doing a good job. god, i never thought i'd say that, but here we are. they've stopped accepting orders from Boeing, and they said they're not willing to negotiate until the US admin is willing to treat them with respect. L M F A O

I wish China would just allow Taiwan and Hong Kong to have their independence , free the ughuirs and then just focus on being an economic powerhouse and they could be a very solid world power to replace the void the US is leaving behind.

Generally China is not expansionist and imperialist, except for these scenarios so they would be a good friend. I'm not totally opposed to their government style as long as it's executed fairly, but needs to be a bit more civilian empowerment.

Given where China was and where they are now, they are doing fantastic and better than they could have ever imagined.

5000 years. that was the argument that got to me. they've been around for five thousand years. i don't think they're facing any existential crises over the big baby in the doll house.

You're parroting CCP lies.

That's not really true, though. That region has undergone numerous cycles of fragmentation and reunification over that period of time, with different cultures and different dynasties taking over from each other.

i'm not backtracking, i promise

but when you're dealing with cunts like trump, do facts really matter more than big numbers?
