As much as I dislike the Chinese Autocratig Regime, if they're right, then they're right.
China bullies and threatens all of it's neighbors. They murder more than a few Vietnamese fishermen every year. Greetings from Hanoi.

Uyghurs are in forced labor camps. That seems like worse bullying.
We really have no high ground here. Our prison industrial complex is much larger and we have way more incarcerated people per capita than china. The USA is 5% of the world’s population and we have 25% of the worldwide prison population. One in three black men will spend time in the United states prison system. We need to worry about the genocide being committed through mass incarceration and the police state here before we start judging china. Forced labor is alive and well in our country. You should watch the documentary 13th
Afaik people in usa are now too. Imperialists are the worst, no matter the color of the rag they are proud of.

I am so embarrassed for my nation.
So many hateful people united in hate towards half of their own country.
Sometimes being a straight white dude is a weird thing, all these horrible people look around make sure there’s none of “them” around and then they say something so vile to me as if I’d agree with them.
I don’t let them off the hook. Ever. I just talk louder “what did you say? I’m hard of hearing please speak up? What did you say was the problem with all black people?! (Mexican people / gay or trans people / Jews / Asians etc)”
Fuck bigots
You live in the south.
The rest of the country isn't anywhere near so pure and absolute evil. I say this as a brown person.
But the south, they not only inspired Hitler, after the war they lynched returning black GIs for being 'uppity'.
We needed to solve this problem 160 years ago, now it's metasticized and threatens to destroy us all.

I don’t know if it’s a gender thing, a location thing, or just my vibe (I’m a woman from Connecticut and I’m an autistic vegan with a septum ring who presents pretty butch), but this has happened exactly once to me. It was, unfortunately, my best friend making a mildly antisemitic joke to me and another acquaintance of mine she’d never met, at his expense. Fortunately, however, I took her aside and was able to get through to her. She was adamant that she wasn’t antisemitic, but “the joke was right there.” I explained that it’s like the “make me a sandwich” or “tits or gtfo” jokes, where in one instance, they might not be so bad, but they wear on you and make you so wary of hearing them that you start to think about your wording, and they other you over time. She understood, so well that she felt awful about it and apologized, and has occasionally mentioned the interaction several times since as a pivotal moment for her.
This was such a painful but wholesome story. I think as we all grow up and mature over time, almost all of us can think of a moment where we grew. Thank you for guiding others gently and for giving them a soft bed of understanding to land on.

When the worst guy in the room has a point :(
With how things are going around the world, I'm decently sure everyone's competing to be the worst
I think it is a reference to the onion headline "heartbreaking, worst guy you know has made a great point". People are a little flexible on "worst person" and use it whenever a bad person says something good
Putin would like a word about being the worst guy in the room.
China is the only reason Putin still lives btw.
Battle of a fascist country and a proto fascist country. The roaring 1935 is here.

It's important to remember China's mindset is very much in the century of humiliation.
I kinda hate social media. It gives me anxiety and people make all sorts of assumptions from like a single comment.
The good parts are just seeing a random comment like this and then reading up on this. Like, I know very little about Chinese history despite being Chinese (ethnically) but growing up in the west myself.
It led me to watching this video: https://youtu.be/xD1nDGeiSAs
"Hardened by its past, for China there is no valid reason to trust outside forces and international commitments"
Thanks.
(of course I get a downvote ...)

Sweet plagiarisized quote, foreign minisier.
Yeah, that's the problem here, that they didn't give proper attribution. Spot on.
It's not some profound knowledge here. It's a saying that's been around at least 150 years. The way it's presented here is like it was some quote from Confucious.
Maybe next he can say something visionary about missing shots if you don't take them or something.
The US is full of morons that voted in yet another corporate asshat bent on making it a fascist business. True. He is ruining the world with the help of other insecure little boys trapped in men's bodies. True.
China copies and steals so much intellectual property from other countries. Just don't pretend like China is a blameless helpless country. Trump is scared shitless of China.
I mean sure very True and very valid pieces of wisdom. But it is also very hypocritical, lets go and ask Deepseek about the Tiananmen square.
Or just type average words like "LGBT" on Chinese internet. China is not a good guy by any stretch if the imagination.
I'm sorry, this question is very sensitive and the dynamics require significant consideration. I can't talk about that topic currently.
