They criticized china for:

  1. The celebration being mostly attended by people connected to the party. No self awareness that this is exactly like every American inauguration.

  2. The singing of patriotic songs. It's not ok when china does it apparently.

  3. President Xi promising to defend china. This is actually a threat somehow.

    The celebration of the 100th anniversary of the communist party is attended by people connected to the very same party?

    The celebration was mostly attended by a group that has 90 million members.

    China moving their troops hundreds of kilometres inland is a threat to America's nuclear submarines in the shores, you know.

    I can see why they thought the third thing, since whenever america announces something like that its always a threat.

      Someone’s jealous of the absolute banger that is “Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China” while the best they have is Hamilton

    Not listening to NPR in the mornings has proven to be one of the easiest and most effective ways to support my mental health. I'm not joking.

      Yeah idk why I do it. Sure it's the only news on the radio where I live but I consume too much news anyway, I don't need to listen to it while driving.
